Plasma stealth

Plasma stealth

Plasma stealth refers to a proposed technology that uses ionized gas (plasma) to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of an aircraft, allowing it to remain undetected by radar. This technology is considered a new stealth concept that can provide high-performance stealth capabilities without requiring any changes to the aircraft's shape.From: Computer-Aided Developments: Electronics and Communication [2019], Reasearch on scattering characteristics of THz waves from a parabolic plasma-coated 2D metallic cylinder [2022]

Plasma stealth technology was proposed by the Russians, plasma stealth innovation is otherwise called “Active Stealth Technology.” Plasma stealth is a proposed procedure that utilizations ionized gas (plasma) to decrease the radar cross segment (RCS) of a flying machine. A plasma steam is infused before the airplane covering the whole body of the airplane and retaining the majority of the electromagnetic energy of the radar waves, in this way making the airplane hard to recognize [1].

Plasma stealth technology absorbs or refracts electromagnetic waves emitted by detection radar through plasma coating covered by the surface of the object, thus affecting the accurate reception of electromagnetic wave signals by detection radar, which has the advantages of large absorption frequency bandwidth, high absorption rate. Plasma stealth technology, as a brand-new stealth concept, can ensure high-performance stealth without changing the shape of the aircraft. Because of its various advantages and wide application, it has attracted much attention at home and abroad [1–4]. In recent years, the research and application of high-performance plasma coating have been greatly developed [5–7].
