Researcher develops spray-on stealth coating for drones

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A Turkish researcher has developed a spray-on stealth coating for drones, utilizing a formulation of volcanic rock. This material, named Kürşat 3.0, reportedly reduces radar return signals by up to 43dB, significantly outperforming typical radar-absorbent materials. While the claims require third-party validation, the coating could enhance the survivability of small, cost-effective drones in modern warfare scenarios. AI

IMPACT Enhances drone survivability, potentially impacting drone warfare tactics and counter-drone measures.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new material developed by a researcher, which is a research milestone. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=2 ai=0.1]
