INTRODUCTION

• Stealth technology can be describe as a technology

that be used to make a thing being less visible to
radar, infrared and other detection method.
• Basically used for aircraft, ships, submarines and
missiles for military.
• Stealth technology usually used in radar
communication and applied in military tactics.
• Widely used in a war after this technology applied for
Lockheed Martin F-117 stealth fighter (The first
large scale (and public) use of the F-117)
 How does stealth technology works in radar
communication??
• Stealth technology designed to make an airplane
invisible to radar
• However, it still can be detected at short ranges
around the radar.
• So, the stealth aircraft must be in substantial gaps in
radar coverage so that it still can’t be detected by
radar.

• The stealth aircraft basically be shaped so that
it can reflected any radar signal it reflects
away from the radar signal
• This stealth technology is very useful for
military field to improve their military
technique.
 RECENT MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TECHNOLOGY

Ø Stealth refers to the act of trying to hide or evade detection

Ø Example for airplanes, stealth first meant hiding from radar
Ø Submarines hid under the waves to sneak up on ships, nowadays
submarines used special coatings on their periscopes to
avoid radar detection.
Ø Cockpits, was carefully designed and coated with special materials so that it
can
bounce radar straight back to the source.
Ø Engine inlets are often designed so that the radar energy cannot go straight into
them and reach the face of the turbine blades. Instead, the radar energy is
bounced back and forth inside the inlet.
Ø Tail surfaces are sharply angled, rather than vertical, so that they can
bounce radar in a different direction.

DEVELOPMENT PARAMETERS
IN STEALTH TECHNOLOGY
 Demand factors

• Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and advanced

development programmes are continuously
working to mature technologies and
capabilities to improve all aspects of stealth.
• All stealth technologies and research in this
area are sensitive and are co-ordinated with
appropriate.
• The first objective of stealth technology has
been focused on defeating detection by
airborne and surface radars.
• So the state of the art in stealth technology
evolved quickly from the faceted shape of the
Lockheed Martin F-117 to the blended curves
of the Northrop Grumman B-2 bomber to the
Lockheed F-22's unique combination of high
speed, agility and very low observability to
 Competing technologies

• Some signs suggest the primacy of

radar-only stealth is starting to
fade, albeit slowly and
incrementally.
• Serdar Cadirci, a Turkish air force
officer, published his master's
thesis last March for the US naval
postgraduate school, focusing on
the current state of stealth and
counter-stealth technologies.
 General constraints

• Just as wing-mounted lamps were used in

the Second World War to obscure
Grumman TBM-3D Avenger dive-bombers
from ground observation.
• The next generation of US combat aircraft
are likely to feature techniques to make
them invisible to a naked human eye - or
electro-optical sensor.
• In a modern update of Project Yehudi, Kevin
Dowling, an engineer for Philips
Electronics North America, has patented a
concept to embed sensors and light
emitting diode-based lighting into the skin
of a stealthy aircraft.
THE IMPORTRANT OF
STEALTH TECHNOLOGY IN
RADAR COMMUNICATION
TO MALAYSIA TO
DEVELOP/ACQUIRE
 MILITARY FIELD
• German designers produced a largely
transparent monoplane; its wings
and fuselage were covered by a
transparent material derived from
cellulose
• With the invention of radar during
World War II, stealth became both
more needful and more feasible be
adapted to guiding antiaircraft
missiles and gunnery at them.
 Stealth aircraft
• The wing will build on a metallic
substrate (pyramid shape with spaces
between pyramid)
• as the radar striking the zigzag
(between the pyramid walls) the
absorption will be increase by
lengthening signal path through
absorbent material
• Radar also can be reflected when three
planar surface meet at a corner. It
tend to be highly angled and
streamlined, resulting no flat surface
 Stealth ship
• the shape of the ship must avoid
vertical surface which is the radar
beam are originated
• Retro-reflective right angles are
eliminated to avoid causing the
cat's eye effect.
• The hull and superstructure with a
series of slightly protruding and
retruding surface can be
constructed in order to achieve a
• Malaysia can develop these two types of stealth
technology in military field.
• Maybe this time Malaysia do not involve in any
kind of war but Malaysia can develop them so
they can be use one day later when Malaysia
faces some threaten from other country.
• By developing these two types of technology,
Malaysia can be seen as a country the follow
the tradition of technology. We also can help
other country by building our own stealth
aircraft or stealth ship and have a good study
on it to gain more information in order to
come out with a better stealth technology
and 100% invisible to the radar
communication.

CONCLUSION
Stealth technology is a techniques used with
aircrafts, ships and missiles, in order to make
them less visible to radar and other detection
methods.
Need of Stealth Technology very importance in
military field.
However stealth technology disadvantage:
ØStealth aircraft cannot fly as fast like
conventional aircraft.
Øhigh Costs
Øradar technology is also likely to advance
with time- possible to detect
stealth craft
Future of stealth technology
ØStealth Technology has improved significantly
more advanced .This trend is likely to continue as
these two oppose each other.
Østealth technology are not yet available
worldwide, but military forces around the
world will soon begin to attempt to mimic
some of the key features of stealth planes.
