  High Frequency(HF) communications technologies enable Wideband High Frequency net-centric, beyond line of sight communications in battlefield

  

  High frequency (HF) band covering frequency range between 2 to 30 MHz provides over-the-horizon communications with ranges over thousands of kilometers through skywave propagation. It offers an alternative to satellite communications (SATCOM) for many commercial and military applications that requires non-line-of-sight communications.   High Frequency (HF) band  has been considered …

  Meta materials based Radar cloaks to hide warships, drones and fighter planes from radars

  

  Stealth technology has proven to be one of the effective approaches to enhance the survivability of Aircrafts. Aircraft/helicopter designers are making them stealthier by reducing their signatures; viz. visual, aural, infrared (IR), and RADAR cross section. Advancements in stealth technologies, as demonstrated by the very low RCS of stealth aircraft …
