Stealth coating is used to make vehicles and missiles less visible to radar, infrared (IR), and other detection methods in the defense sector. It has a variety of nano-ultrafine particles with a strong ability to absorb electromagnetic waves of different bands, which can minimize the intensity of reflected signals. It can be applied on tactical unmanned aerial systems (UAS) over the external surface to regions of high radar reflection, including edges. Nowadays, researchers around the world are focusing on developing smart stealth coating, which can change the appearance of an aircraft according to its background.
Due to rising geopolitical tensions, security agencies across the globe are focusing on strengthening their defense and military sectors. As a result, they are increasing their expenditure on innovative and advanced technologies, such as stealth coating, for fighter aircraft, bombers, missiles, tanks, and helicopters. Stealth coating is also employed in the automotive sector for providing protection to vehicles against scratches, road debris, and malicious damages. Apart from this, the stealth coating of nanoparticles (NPs) in drug-delivery systems offers molecular weight, surface chain density, and conformations of polymer chains. Consequently, it is widely used on the surface of NPs to improve the blood circulation system. As NPs are emerging as a powerful drug-delivery tool for cancer therapies, which enhances the specificity of drug actions while reducing the systemic side effects, the demand for stealth coating is anticipated to rise in the coming years.
