- Close of Conference
AbstractModern stealth technology has to counter increasingly effective ways of finding the enemy by means of radar, infrared or acoustic detection. This requires continual development in low observable technologies in order to challenge those systems designed to detect, track and destroy increasingly stealthy targets.
The conference will address the fundamentals of stealth technology and key developments that will effect the tri-service arena, focusing on stealth materials and design, affordability, physical constraints and current programmes relating to existing and next-generation land, sea and air platforms
The current and future role of signature management and counter stealth technology will be discussed with a view to establishing its role as a force multiplier in future operations, both in terms of current, operational low observable platforms and those currently in development.
