Summary Jane's research and analysis examined five categories of China's advanced weapons systems: counter-space, unmanned systems, maneuverable reentry vehicles, directed energy and electromagnetic railguns. In addition, this report also focuses on China's notable investment in and emphasis on development of artificial intelligence applications for national defense. The following key themes and insights across four linked analytical categories emerged throughout the course of our research: The strategic context in which China's advanced weapons systems are being developed ; China's defense industrial base and science and technology community ; The advanced weapons themselves ; Policy measures and investments required to mitigate risk and capitalize on opportunity generated by China's advanced weapons systems and other dynamics identified in this paper.
