The army reportedly plans to approach the strike group with drones and create false signals that would confuse or overwhelm the targets' electronic warfare systems. PLA's report also detailed potential strategies for hacking into the US Navy's Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) system, a vital defense system that allows the naval the entire fleet to share air defense resources.
The Chinese military, in its report, alleged that by mimicking the 'correct signaling method' it could 'infiltrate the CEC network as a cooperative unit and launch attacks'. The so-called 'hit list' was published in the latest issue of the Defense Industry Conversion in China, a magazine supervised by the state, the SCMP reported.
