New technology could be “the key to China’s victory in future wars,” according to Chinese researchers. Scientists at the PLA’s National Defense University have unveiled a material that could make aircraft invisible to radars designed to detect stealth systems.
🔵 The new material is said to be able to convert electromagnetic waves of 70 to 20 cm in length into heat. This range covers most of the working wavelengths of modern military radars. The scientists also conducted laboratory tests, during which they confirmed that the material, which is as thick as two sheets of paper, effectively absorbs low-frequency electromagnetic waves at different angles.
🔵 The material is lightweight, flexible, and can be produced in large quantities. These properties make it suitable for coating aircraft and other military equipment that need to be made invisible to radar. According to the researchers, their technology allows them to achieve unprecedented “ultra-wideband low-frequency stealth effects” without using heavy and expensive magnetic ingredients. This makes the new material cost-effective.
A team of scientists from the State Key Laboratory of Complex Electromagnetic Effects on Electronics and Information Systems, led by researcher Cui Kaibo, noted that this development could be “the key for China to win future wars.”
