Stealth technology also known as low observable technology is an electronic countermeasure that is normally regarded passive (Singh 66). It is usually used by the military to acquire intelligence and secretly access enemy lines. This technology incorporates refined listening devices and invisible aircrafts used essentially to access enemy’s territory. Additionally, this technology employs a range of techniques used along with missiles, satellites, ships, personnel and aircrafts to fundamentally make them invisible from infrared while accessing enemy lines, sonar and any other detection technique.
Apparently, it is clearly evident that Stealth Technology is yet to experience way many changes in the future similar to any other technology oriented field. Considering that each and every country is working to over power the other, stealth technology will have greatly advanced in the coming years icredibly. The most apparent change or rather advancements in the filed of stealth technology perceived to take place in the near future is compatibility of diverse things together, essentially, considering that stealth technology incorporates various things together: missiles, satellites, ships, personnel and aircrafts, the future technological advancement of this technology will entail a more profound linkage of the above mentioned military gears along with more other in a way to effect the technology.
Additionally, future of this technology is highly dependent on the principle used to develop it and the possibility of the enemy to use development detection methods. The usage of radar cross-section (RCS) reductions have led to the development of various counter radar measures. Therefore, low-RCS vehicles that will give advantages in reducing detection range and increase on board system effectiveness against an active radar guidance threats and reducing radio frequency emissions and infra-red signature by having a non-circular tail pipe. The use of plasma which absorbs a wide range of radiation and quantum technology are being tested for future use. An example of this technology is the F-117 that uses passive infrared and low light level of television sensor systems (Lavers 56).
