Stealth technology(VLO) is a technology that allows an aircraft to be partially invisible to radar or any other means of detection.

All it can do is to just reduce the detection range of an aircraft.

 It is totally the principle of reflection and absorption.

Deflecting the incoming radar waves into another direction and thus reducing the number of waves which returns to the radar.

Typical materials for reducedobservable treatments include: Conductive fillers Sprays Magnetic Radar Absorbing Material (MAGRAM)

 RAS or Radar Absorbent Surfaces are the surfaces on the aircraft, which can deflect the incoming radar waves and reduce the detection range.

 Radar absorbent materials absorb the incoming radar waves rather simply deflecting it in another direction.

 Another important factor that influences the stealth capability of an aircraft is the IR (infrared) signature given out by the plane.

 Radar cross sections(RCS)

A proven method to detect and destroy stealth aircraft is to triangulate its location with a network of radar systems.

 "Active stealth technology

This technology was first developed by the Russians.

 Carrying weapons internally

An aircraft can remain undetected just by turning the radar off.

 Speed. Payload. Cost.

 Stealth technology is clearly the future of modern combat.

The Indian Navy is likely to induct two stealth ships in the next three to four months.
