Stealth Technology


Stealth technology was created to fool both pulse and doppler systems of radar. This is a collection of materials and techniques used in the construction of mobile military systems such as aircraft, tanks, and ships, that significantly reduce detection by an enemy, primarily by enemy radar.

Among the techniques used in the F-117A fighter and B-2 bomber, for example, are a low profile construction with no surfaces that reflect radar directly back, the intensive substitution of radar-opaque composites for metals, and an overall coating of a radar-absorbing material.
