A stealth drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to operate with a low observable signature, making it difficult to detect by radar, infrared sensors, or the naked eye.
Stealth drones incorporate advanced technologies such as stealth coatings, shaping, and materials to reduce their radar cross-section and thermal signature, allowing them to evade enemy detection systems.
Stealth drones are used for reconnaissance, surveillance, intelligence gathering, target acquisition, and even combat operations where remaining undetected is crucial for mission success.
Stealth drones provide military forces with a strategic advantage by being able to operate covertly in hostile environments, gather critical information, and carry out precision strikes without being detected.
Popular examples of stealth drones include the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit and the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel, both of which showcase cutting-edge stealth technology.
