Aircraft Recognition Advanced (ARA)

IntroductionCCPL Smallwood – 111SQN

Page 3: Ara1 revised

Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:• Describe stealth technology.• Identify, using WETFUS, current stealth technology

aircraft.• The need for stealth in high risk environments.

Knowledge on aircraft recognition teaches:• How to recognise aircraft types and nation of origin.• Capabilities of the aircraft.

Stealth Technology

• Definition:“The use of advanced design and specialised materials to make an aircraft difficult or even

impossible to detect.”

Page 5: Ara1 revised

Stealth Technology

• Aircraft stealth:– Visual (eyes)– Acoustic (sound)– Infrared (heat)– Radar (long-range)

Page 6: Ara1 revised

How does radar see?• Imagine a chrome plated plane.

• If you can see yourself or near you, that’s a radar return.
