Chinese hypersonic missiles gain star-based navigation capabilities

China has created a new celestial navigation method for its hypersonic missiles, allowing them to use stars for guidance if GPS or satellite signals are blocked. This initiative, managed by the Guangdong Aerospace Research Academy, has successfully cleared its final expert evaluation. During trials, a radiation-hardened prototype star sensor demonstrated a star-pattern recognition accuracy exceeding 99% in environments without interference.
