INTRODUCTION
STEALTH:
Refers to the act of
trying to hide or evade
detection.
STEALTH TECHNOLOGY:
Aims at reducing the
detection by radar or any
other electronic system.
Essentially deals with designs &
materials designed for military purposes.
HOW TO GET STEALTHY???
To achieve optimal stealth properties
following signatures call for special attention:
Radar cross-section (RCS)
Infrared signature (IR)
Acoustic signature
Visual signature
RF emissions
Plasma stealth
First two signatures are most important
in determining the position of stealth
aircraft in the space.
HOW RADAR WORKS???
1) Magnetron generates
high-frequency radio
waves.
2) Duplexer switches
magnetron through
antenna.
3) Antenna acts as
transmitter sending
narrow beam of radio
waves through the air.
4) Radio waves hit enemy
airplane & reflect back.
HOW RADAR WORKS???
5)
Antenna picks up
reflected waves during
break between
transmissions.
6)
Duplexer switches
antenna through
receiver.
7)
Computer in receiver
processes reflected
waves & draws them
on TV.
8)
Enemy plane shows up
on radar TV with other nearby targets.

NORMAL AIRCRAFT STEALTH AIRCRAFT
SHAPING OF THE AIRCRAFT
BODY PANEL DESIGN :
Composed of a number
of faceted panels.
CANTED VERTICAL
TAILS: The tails are
F-117 NIGHT HAWK
canted away from 90°.
PLANFORM
ALIGNMENT : Involves
using a small number of
surface orientations in
the shape of the
F-22 RAPTOR
structure.
AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS DESIGN
INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION:
Presence of re-entrant triangles.
ENGINE:
Placed along the wing or
fuselage, with fine screens.
COCKPIT & WINDOWS :
Interiors have sharp corners
& reflective metal objects.
Radar absorbing treatments on windows.
DOOR EDGES :
Saw-tooth or diamond shaped edges.
REDUCED PAYLOAD :
Carry all armament internally.
AIRFRAME
NON-METALLIC AIRFRAME :
Made up of dielectric
components.
RADAR ABSORBENT
SURFACES :Deflect
incoming radar waves &
reduce detection range.
RADAR ABSORBENT PAINT :
Contains tiny spheres coated with
carbonyl iron ferrite.
DETECTION METHODS
Passive (multi-static) radar and
bi-static radar systems
Infra-red search and
track (IRST) systems
Wave length match
Over the horizon radar F-22 RAPTOR
Electro-magnetic emissions
F-35 LIGHTNING II
