Is radar stealthiness still relevant? I would assume a combination of microphones&cameras everywhere, internet everywhere, ML everywhere, and satellites have made it obsolete.
- dragontamer 5y agoDo those microphones apply to the open seas? We don't even have geosync satellites that cover the seas today. Not enough travelers to make those areas worth it to cover the satellite launch costs.
- nradov 5y agoLow observable technology is more relevant than ever. It's not magic invisibility but greatly reduces the range at which sensors can detect and track. Microphones can't be placed at sea, and the speed of sound makes effective microphone range very short. Regular cameras are also short ranged, and don't really work at night or through clouds. IR search sensors have very narrow field of view. In any major conflict the reconnaissance satellites will be the first targets.
