	Stealth technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Increased awareness of stealth vehicles and the technologies behind them is prompting the development of techniques for detecting stealth vehicles, such as passive radar arrays and low-frequency radars.
		Stealth technology is not a single technology but a combination of technologies that attempt to reduce the radar cross section, specifically:
		As well as altering the tail, stealth design must bury the engines within the wing or fuselage, or in some cases where stealth is applied to an existing aircraft, install baffles in the air intakes, so that the turbine blades are not visible to radar.

	l a b D N A - Thomas Mical : Stealth Landscapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Stealth technology posits a mutable and deliberate relation between what is revealed and what is concealed, where one appears as opposed to where one is projected (both positionally and conceptually).
		The stealth landscape engages assemblages and techniques of concealment and erasure derived from (stealth) technology (insofar as all technology is stealth technology).
		Stealth technology is also a deliberate negation of form by form - though the stealth aircraft may be visually seen, its threat of instantaneous presence (a negation of distance time) is a distillation of suspense.

		Stealth Aircraft, military aircraft, fighters, and bombers designed to elude detection and tracking systems, such as radar and infrared monitoring (see Airplane: Military Airplanes).
		Stealth technology is also used to mask unmanned objects such as cruise missiles (see Guided Missiles: Tactical Missiles).
		Stealth technology includes a variety of design features that affect an aircraft’s signal, also called its signature, on tracking systems.

	.::What is Stealth Technology?::.
		Stealth or low observability (as it is scientifically known) is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted concepts in military aviation by the common man. Stealth aircraft are considered as invisible aircraft, which dominate the skies.
		The motive behind incorporating stealth technology in an aircraft is not just to avoid missiles being fired at is but also to give total deniability to covert operations.
		Stealth technology is a concept that is not at all new.

		The great secrecy surrounding stealth programs is designed not simply to protect a particular stealth technology, as it is to protect the choice and mix of techniques that have been used in a specific system.
		Thus while a stealth aircraft may be difficult to track when it is flying toward a ground-based radar or another aircraft at the same altitude, a high-altitude airborne radar or a space-based radar may have an easier time tracking it.
		Thus, "their" best aircraft is based on technology 11 years more modern than "ours." Secretary of Defense Cheney (1989 - 1992) voiced concern that this may apply to the fielding of stealth technology, and that 11 years after the F-22s IOC, for example, we will be facing a brand new Russian stealth fighter.

		The United States is the world leader in stealth technology, and this lead has given U.S. forces a clear battlefield advantage as was demonstrated in Operation Desert Storm.
		DOD's policy on the commercial export of stealth technology recognizes its military significance and sensitivity while acknowledging that some items with stealth properties have been developed for commercial purposes, are widely available, and are not militarily significant.
		Consequently, any possible overlap in export controls for other aspects of stealth technology (e.g., technologies and materials related to reducing infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic and visual signatures, and counter low-observables technologies) was not addressed in our report.

		Stealth aircraft do not absorb most incoming RF energy, instead they reflect it to somewhere other than from whence it came.
		It is possible to defeat such stealth by moving the receiver away from the transmitter and by using multiple receivers and/or transmitters.
		All US stealth aircraft are fitted with sophisticated systems to mitigate their heat signature, making it difficult to obtain the necessary missile lock.

		The technology was first used on a large scale during the Gulf War in 1991.
		In addition, awareness about the existence of stealth vehicles and the technologies behind them is prompting the development of techniques useful for detecting stealth vehicles such as passive radar arrays and low-frequency radars.
		For example, even if a surface-to-air missile battery defending a target observes a bomb falling and surmises that there must be a stealth aircraft in the vicinity, if it cannot get a lock on the aircraft in order to feed guidance information to its missiles, it is still unable to respond.

		As a concept, stealth is nothing new, having been invented by the first caveman to cover himself with leaves so that he could sneak up on a dim-witted antelope.

	stealth technology. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Stealth, or antidetection, technology is applied to vehicles (e.g., tanks), missiles, ships, and aircraft with the goal of making the object more difficult to detect at closer and closer ranges.
		Since radar is the most difficult form of detection to elude, avoidance is generally accomplished by reducing the radar cross section (RCS) of the object to within the level of background noise; for example, the reported goal of U.S. military designers is to make a fighter plane with an RCS the size of a bird.
		The implementation of stealth technology usually requires such compromises as reduced payload capacity, aerodynamic instability, and high design, production, and maintenance expenses.

		As is the case with its immediate predecessor, the US F-117A, the advanced technology of the B-2 ensures that detection of its presence by radar and heat sensors is virtually impossible.
		This is achieved by a combination of aircraft-design elements:; smoothing off all radar-reflecting sharp edges; covering the aircraft with radar-absorbent materials; fitting engine coverings that hide the exhaust and heat signatures of the aircraft;; and other, secret technologies.
		The US F-117A stealth fighter-bomber was used successfully during the 1991 Gulf War to attack targets in Baghdad completely undetected.

		Stealth is by not means a prerequisite for delivery ordnance on target, since as previously discussed, the performance of air defense systems against more conventional attack aircraft still leaves much to be desired.

		Technology transfer in the JSF will be very tightly controlled, with only the UK (developing a version to replace the Harrier jump-jet) so far as an inner partner.
		While stealth took second place to speed, the fact was that stealth elements were a major factor in the airframe configuration, design of which dated back to the late 1950s, twenty years before stealth technology was even mentioned by the US government.
		However, stealth is relatively old-hat; the F117, the first stealth aircraft, turns up regularly at air shows, much of the US 70s and 80s stealth program has been declassified and the general principles, if not specific applications, of stealth technology are now well-known in the unclassified world.
