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

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

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.
