- China conducts test flight of a giant coil array. Can it detect nuclear submarines?
China conducted a test flight of a giant coil array system called Airborne Transient Electromagnetic (Atem) detection. The system uses a helicopter to tow a kite-like array of coils that emit electromagnetic pulses to detect conductive materials, potentially including nuclear submarines.
