Chinese researchers have allegedly developed a new paper-thin coating that can turn radar waves into heat to hide aircraft.
The Chinese military claims it has developed a new radar-defeating coating that can hide targets from anti-stealth radar. The coating can absorb low-frequency electromagnetic waves and is only paper-thin.
Radar installations use a mixture of centimeter- to meter-long wavelength EM waves to detect targets like incoming aircraft. Current stealth technology can divert or even absorb some of these waves, reducing an aircraft’s radar signature.Interestingly, this is just the latest in a flurry of new “anti-stealth” innovations made by the Chinese in recent years.
If true, this would make it suitable for covering aircraft or other weapon platforms requiring stealth capabilities. The scientists involved in the project stated their work “does not violate the fundamental laws of physics.” According to the research team, when low-frequency EM waves strike the coating, they generate currents on the surface of the metal foil layer. These currents can be converted into heat, which is then rapidly dissipated into the air, effectively reducing radar waves’ return signatures.
