When we talk about military vehicles, defense is as important as firepower. Within these defenses are passive measures (protecting him) and actively. Everything is adapted to the technology that the rivals have and is modeled after the equipment. artificial intelligence at the end of the drone. Another is camouflage, and China is investing a lot, a lot of money in this.
We talked about the example before plasma to “invisibilize” their planes. It is something that does not combine the design or aerodynamics of the fighters, but it can also be adapted to different shapes. Thus he could use weapons (a battle in which the supreme command they entered on the great road) or missile launchers. The problem is that using this plasma is complex and not foolproof, but Chinese military scientists have found a very promising new material.
It has minimal thickness and is capable of effectively blinding radars. His secret? Of metatheria.
A new generation of stealth aircraft
It is like a game of mouse and cat. Or the battle between computer viruses and antiviruses. Great military decades I am looking for your invisible plane. Sometimes they come up with real grotesqueries; like the North American Silent Blueor success as almost unknown to the B-II Spiritwhich has a starting a new generation grid.
Over the years, these stealth features have penetrated both “conventional” fighters and both China with the J-35A as The United States with the F-35 They have completed great milestones when it comes to the creation of urban camouflage. But as we said, we are always looking to go one step further in camouflage, and how can we? seeIn South China Morning Post, Chinese scientists seem to have hit the nail on the head.
Physicists from the National University of Defense Technology have found the material to be light, flexible and above all; easy to many things as your invisible planes. They were taken from him metamaterials and metals that did not communicate with the instruments (obvious systems) that are capable of converting electromagnetic waves of wavelengths from 70 centimeters to 20 centimeters into heat.
Cui Kaibo is a researcher who designs and claims that “artificial composite materials, through periodic or aperiodic arrangements, exhibit unusual properties and can achieve physical phenomena and applications impossible for natural materials.” Basically, the shield is capable of converting electromagnetic waves into heating to blind enemy radars.
When a low frequency electromagnetic wave reaches the coating of this material, they induce electric currents on the surface of the metal sheet which are converted into heat and quickly dissipated into the air. According to the researchers, the new technology is stealthy, which does not require heavy and expensive magnetic materials, which allows, as we said, to be used and scaled for application in various types of military equipment.
In addition, Kaibo puts the finishing touch by stating that it “could become China’s key to winning future wars.” And this goes far beyond airplanes. Drones are a threat today in many war zones, however If the combat drone is covered by a metaterial thus something more formidable is done. And indeed, China presented A few weeks ago the drone was covered in metamaterials that also have stealth capabilities.
In the end, this is important because the powers of these types of messages are very controlled and it may not be long to see us in the United States respond with something similar to what we have already had in progress. And we also have to wait for new radars. When the F-35 was shown to be the pinnacle of stealth technology, China came to herald it Now it’s time to find out.
