  1. Radar Absorbing MaterialsStealth Technology By Esteban Hernandez

  2. R.A.M. • Radar Absorbing Material (R.A.M.) • Plessey Company (1940’s) • moved from Ilford to Caswell House during WW II

  3. R.A.M. • Materials • carbon fiber composites • magnetic ferrite-based substance • RAM reduces the radar cross section making the object appear smaller

  4. R.A.M. • Problems • Must be defect free • Most at risk during in flight fueling • High maintenance • $14.5 million (F-117) • Affected by weather conditions • Reason for B-2 Bomber stationed only in USA

  5. Future of R.A.M. F-22 Raptor • Radar Absorbing Alloy (Classified) • Canopy; Radar Absorbing Glass • (contains a copper alloy) • Radar Absorbing Paint along the leading edges
