The 11th World Radar Expo opened on Saturday in Hefei City of east China's Anhui Province, showcasing some leading radar equipment and technologies from China.
At the exhibition area of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), a variety of radar equipment is displayed, featuring functions such as high mobility, multifunctionality, air defense and anti-missile capabilities.
"We have set up four main indoor exhibition areas of cutting-edge equipment, intelligent systems, new-domain forces, and electronic foundations, as well as a sub-exhibition area dedicated to the low-altitude economy. Together, these showcase over 400 advanced pieces of equipment and products in the electronic information sector," said Li Ji, an exhibitor and head of the Technology Department from the CETC.
In addition to military equipment, a large number of civilian equipment are also on display, offering high-precision data services for disaster warning, smart cities, and low-altitude economy.
"This is an all-in-one device for comprehensive meteorological detection, which integrates various elements such as a weather radar, a laser for wind measurement, and a millimeter-wave sensor for cloud assessment. The radar uses electromagnetic waves to measure various indicators like the speeds and directions of wind above it in real time, and it has been widely deployed across the country," said Jin Cangsong, director of the 23rd Research Institute under the Second Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation.
The expo, held biennially since 2001, has evolved into the largest and most influential comprehensive international exhibition in the global radar field.
This year's exhibition, with an area of over 50,000 square meters, has drawn participation from more than 600 companies worldwide. The World Radar Expo will continue until Monday.

The United States cannot legitimize an operation that attacked Venezuela and captured its president, a Chinese scholar said Sunday.
On Saturday, the United States launched a large-scale strike on Venezuela, during which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were 'captured and flown out of Venezuela' according to a post by U.S. President Donald Trump on his Truth Social account.
Teng Jianqun, director of the Center for Diplomatic Studies at Hunan Normal University, said in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) that the aim of this operation is to take full control of Venezuela’s natural resources.
"I don't think the United States can legitimize this operation to take custody of the president of Venezuela. And also I don't think the United States can legitimize its any action in taking the oil reserves of that country. This is actually a very dangerous game played by the Trump administration. And of course, the United States would like to take full control of that country and to take full control of the natural resources, especially the large reserve of oil in Venezuela," said Teng.
Teng said Venezuela is not an isolated case but a common practice by the United States. The United States launched an invasion of Panama on Dec. 20, 1989, which continued until January 1990, with the stated objective of capturing Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega on charges of drug trafficking and organized crime.
"We still remember the so-called sentence of the former president of Panama in the late 1980s. And this time, the president of Venezuela will be under some judicial condition (judicial proceedings) for the so-called drug trafficking and some other crimes. So I think this is not a single case for the Venezuela country, but also this is actually a practice by the United States -- to use force, to use so-called justice under law against any leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean waters," he said.
