Scientists and defense engineers have understood that Sharks not only use electromagnetic flux for navigation but also they use it for stealth.
The Defense researchers are working on prototypes that provide similar capabilities to next generation submarines and fighter aircrafts. If these researchers are right, next generation submarines and fighter aircrafts will be able to disappear from any and all radars or similar devices and be able to navigate towards a target without any artificial guidance systems as it is used today.
Shark’s stealth is not useful to evade their positions through human eyes or electronic or sonar devices but it is capable of making the shark invisible to other aquatic life forms like fishes and others.
Engineers are using the exact same technology to provide the stealth for the aircrafts and submarines. Varying the electromagnetic flux characteristics make it possible to evade other kinds or “eyes” including what we know as Radar, electronic eves dropping, signal intelligence and satellite sensing.
The team consists of biologists, shark specialists, physicists, electronic engineers, aeronautics and naval engineers. The goal of the team is provide the technology that can be used for the next generation warfare.
