In gulf war 1991, United States has rising a new Technology called Stealth.
Stealth technology are being inspired by Sun Tzu, a great charismatic war general from the age of ancient china. According to him, all war is deception. If we want to win the war, we must able to deceive the enemy. One of its way is making our plane not able to being detected by enemy’s radar. The method is by making stealth plane from absorbing material that could absorb most of radar wave. And at the surface’s plane, the sharp triangles created to bounce back unabsorb wave, away from radar antenna. Because that there is no wave that back to radar radiator, then the plane is not detected by enemy’s radar.
Although being sophisticated enough, the stealth technology actually had the weakness. Stealth plane that exist today still could be detected when it’s rain (water particle can reveal plane’s form that ‘vanish’) or by use handphone signal comparising (handphone signal that suddenly vanish show that out there still some stealth plane). From now on, the US still completing the weakness of that plane.
Beside stealth technology, the physicist are also being asked to create another war machine with laser and infrared technology. For example, F-117A Nighthawk that equipped with stealth technology sneak in the sky at the darkness of night, spy on with help from infrared censor and drop the bomb that aimed by laser. GBU-28 Bunker Buster that could penetrate enemy’s base underground and destroy it with the bomb that also aimed by laser, so it get the target precisely.
