Roselektronika has created prototypes of a new material capable of absorbing radio waves in a wide frequency range. Thanks to the base of glass threads with a metal core, the thin-layer material can be used for the manufacture of aircraft parts. This was reported by Rostec.
In the process of creating a radio-absorbing material, several layers of fiberglass were connected to each other. It is based on thin threads with a metal core in glass insulation. Due to its exceptional characteristics, the new material absorbs up to 95% of the incident electromagnetic radiation of radars and significantly complicates the detection of an aerial object using radar.
The stealth material was developed by the Central Design Bureau of Special Radio Materials (CCB RM, part of Roselektronika) for the manufacture of engine compressor blades – one of the most noticeable parts in the radio range.
