This does not sound good! Is the arms race between China and the US heating up more?
"... In a peer-reviewed study published in the Chinese-language journal Advanced Small Satellite Technology last month, a team led by senior engineer Su Zhenhua with DFH Satellite Co, Ltd, China’s largest satellite manufacturer, revealed an unprecedented space-based power system prototype that achieves both high power and precision. ...
Their device delivers 2.6 megawatts (MW) of pulsed power while maintaining pulse synchronisation accuracy of just 0.63 microseconds in ground tests.
“Existing pulsed power supplies typically have an output power of less than 1 megawatt and synchronisation control accuracy worse than 1 millisecond, with limits in current control precision and conversion efficiency as well ...
The team said higher performance was urgently needed because “devices like electromagnetic jamming warfare simulators and particle beam systems demand extremely high instantaneous power – often requiring megawatt-level energy to be released with microsecond or even nanosecond precision”. ..."
