9. Plasma Antenna Technology

Using ionised gas rather than conventional metal components, plasma antenna technology offers a major revolution in radar system design. When not in operation, these almost invisible to hostile electronic detection systems can be rapidly turned on or off. While keeping great gain and efficiency, the system lets for fast frequency change and beam guiding. Ideal for sophisticated air defence uses, plasma antennas also provide lowered radar cross-section and enhanced resilience to electronic warfare methods.
