A promising radio-absorbing material (RAM) with a high coefficient of conversion of electromagnetic energy into thermal energy in the decimeter L-wave range has been developed in China.
New technology could be "the key to China's victory in future wars" according to Chinese researchers at the PLA's National Defense University.
The new material is reported to be able to convert electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 70 to 20 cm into heat. This range covers most of the operating wavelengths of modern ground and air-based airborne early warning and control radars.
Scientists also conducted laboratory tests, during which they confirmed that the material, which is as thick as two sheets of paper, effectively absorbs low-frequency electromagnetic waves at different angles.
The material is lightweight, flexible, and can be produced in large quantities. These properties make it suitable for coating aircraft and other military equipment that need to be made invisible to radar. According to the researchers, their technology allows them to achieve unprecedented "ultra-wideband low-frequency stealth effects" without using heavy and expensive magnetic ingredients.
This makes the new material cost-effective.
However, this material does not yet cover such critically important "shooting/multi-purpose" ranges as S/G/X, which are used by many multi-purpose radars.
These radars provide precise target designation to the active radar homing head of anti-aircraft missiles and air-to-air missiles, and in the case of the centimeter G/X-range, they can also illuminate targets to the semi-active homing head of anti-aircraft missiles such as the MIM-104C/D type of the Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T/C complexes.
It can be assumed that as the structure of the new radio-absorbing material is modernized, the above-mentioned wave ranges will also be available.
