3. Stealth is a technique of making an object
invisible.
Stealth is an important technology used in military
operations.
Stealth is also known as LO(low observable)
technology
4. From earliest days deception has been used to
gain advantage over the enemy.
Early combat aircraft in WW- I used camouflage
to make visual detection difficult.
Advent RADAR in late 1930’s and during WW-II
enabled early detection of aircraft .
In 1940’s a unique way with low RADAR cross
section strategic bombers developed.
In late 50’s and 60’s came LO planes with
compromised performance .
5.
6. Airframe shaped for
low radar cross
section.
Use of radar absorbent
materials(RAM).
Minimized infrared
signature.
Reduced engine noise.
Reduced visual
signature.
8. RCS of a target is a measure of its size as
seen by the radar.
It’s a complex function of the geometric cross
section of the target.
RCS is a characteristics of the target not the
radar.
15. The other techniques are
Active cancellation
Passive cancellation
Plasma stealth
16. Poor aerodynamic properties.
Requires high end electronic instruments and
software's.
High maintenance cost.
Limited amount of ordnance.
17. Obtain stronger RADAR returns employing
sophisticated algorithm.
VHF and UHF radars
High frequency over the horizon
radars(OTHRs).
BI-static and multi-static radar technology.
