IntroductioIntroductionnMeans :- low
observable.Basic idea :- to
blend with the surroundings.
Quest :- began more than 60 years ago during World War II.

How to get Stealthy…How to get Stealthy…
By reducing the imprint on radar
system
By turning down the heat of IR picture
By reducing the turbulence
By reducing the sound
By camouflaging the vehicle

◦ The amount of power reflected back to the radar depends largely on a quantity called the radar cross section (RCS)

RCS Reduction techniquesRCS Reduction techniques
Purpose shapingPurpose shaping◦ The shape of the target’s reflecting surfaces
is designed such that they reflect energy away from the source
Radar absorbent materialRadar absorbent material◦ As an addition to highly reflective surfaces
Active CancellationActive Cancellation◦ Target generates a radar signal equal in
intensity but opposite in phase to the predicted reflection of an incident radar signal

RADAR beam
Traps radar energy and bounces it off internal faces dissipating the energy

Principle behind Principle behind RAMRAM Coating contains
carbonyl iron ferrite.When a radar wave
encounters this coating, it creates a magnetic field within the metallic elements of the coating.
The field has alternating polarity and dissipates the energy of a radar signal. 16

Three types of RAM◦Resonant◦Non-resonant magnetic ◦Non-resonant large volume
• Materials• carbon fiber composites
• magnetic ferrite-based substance RAM reduces the RCS by making the object

Plasma stealthPlasma stealth
Is a proposed process that uses ionized gas (plasma) to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of an aircraft.
While it is theoretically possible to wrap the airframe in plasma, it is practically difficult.

Anti stealth / Counter Anti stealth / Counter stealthstealthBy triangulating its location with
a network of radar systems.With the help of microwaves
similar to the ones emitted by the cell phone towers.
By using over the horizon radar, ultra wide band (impulse) radar, bistatic radar, imaging radar and IR imaging seekers.

Disadvantages of stealth Disadvantages of stealth technology technology
It cannot fly as fast or is not maneuverable like conventional aircraft.
The reduced amount of payload it can carry.
The cost. Stealth aircraft literally costs its weight in gold. B-2 ($2 billion), F-117 ($70 million) and the F-22 ($100 million) are the costliest planes in the world.
