A Chinese report has revealed a catalogue of US naval targets including radars and sensors to be attacked in any future conflict

The People's Liberation Army's (PLA) electronic warfare unit has produced a list of targets for a coordinated attack against US aircraft carrier strike groups.

In a potential conflict, these precisely labelled US military radars, sensors and communication systems are likely to take concentrated fire from China's electronic warfare weapons, according to a researcher involved in the project.

This unprecedented revelation was made in the latest issue of Defence Industry Conversion in China, a magazine supervised by the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence. The publication aims to encourage civilian institutions and companies to participate in research on military technologies and weapon production.
