How does F35 stealth work?
With multiple sensors embedded in the plane through its Distributed Aperture System (DAS), F-35 pilots have a 360-degree view of the outside on their visors—up, down and all around. Another major advance in the F-35 is its stealth capability, which prevents enemy forces from detecting and targeting the plane.
How does a stealth plane work?
The goal of stealth technology is to make an airplane invisible to radar. The airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment. The airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.
Why is F-35 stealth?
The F-35’s aligned edges, reduced engine signature, internal carriage of weapons and fuel and embedded sensors all contribute to its unique stealth performance. With stealth designed in from day one, the F-35 has an unmatched ability to evade enemy detection and enter contested airspace.
Why choose BAE Systems?
Today, BAE Systems is the sole EW provider for fifth-generation aircraft, and our production of integrated systems for 4th generation aircraft, enhance aircraft survivability and mission capability. The foundation of that success was built in the 1950s, when BAE Systems developed advanced radar defense and surveillance technology.
What does the AN/ASQ-239 mean for the F-35?
The AN/ASQ-239 is also built for the future, with an architecture system that allows new capabilities to be added for the F-35 fifth-generation aircraft.
What breakthroughs led to the development of the F-22 Raptor?
Our revolutionary breakthroughs in that area drove the creation of our state-of-the-art countermeasure system aboard all U.S. carrier-based aircraft during the Vietnam War. Over the following 20 years, we created cutting-edge countermeasure technology leading to an integrated electronic warfare suite for the F-22 Raptor.
