This book provides a solid foundation for understanding radar energy warfare and stealth technology. The book covers the fundamentals of radar before moving on to more advanced topics, including electronic counter and electronic counter-counter measures, radar absorbing materials, radar cross section, and the science of stealth technology. A final section provides an introduction to Luneberg lens reflectors. The book will provide scientists, engineers, and students with valuable guidance on the fundamentals needed to understand state-of-the-art radar energy warfare and stealth technology research and applications.

Since the Wright brothers' original design, airplanes have drastically improved upon their design as well as functionality; such as: F-35 on American side and their Russian counterpart Sukhoi Su-57 and even now Chinese playing in this market with their Chengdu J-20. While they all are the sixth-generation (GEN-VI) fighter jets, they have one common technical challenge, that is, they all need to be stealthy in order to avoid any radar detection. However, the question is are they really stealthy as their manufacturers claim by using radar absorbing material (RAM) or reducing their radar cross-section (RCS) against any radar beam detection that is looking for them in the sky.

The most pernicious form of electronic countermeasures (ECM) against this new generation of fast-moving jet planes is Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM)-based repeater jammers and transponders. This book suggests that scalar wave (SW) as a countermeasure against a threat such as hypervelocity, and this type of wave is based on scalar longitudinal wave (SLW) derived from more complete equation (MCE) of Ampere’s Maxwell’s equation using the quantum electrodynamics (QED) approach.

Techniques from SW to radar can replicate the radar’s waveform with remarkable integrity and can present a plethora of false targets that may correlate within the victim receiver and the processing chain driven by the fire-control radar (FCR), and all this is described in this book in a very simple and introductory way.

- Provides an introduction to the fundamentals of radar;
- Examines the technical challenges of stealth technology;
- Describes current fifth generation warplanes and the coming sixth generation.
