An interesting break through in solid state room temperature Maser's just happened.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/16/boffin_builds_cool_maser/
So my question is will Maser based radars make the F-35's stealth technology oboslete or can industry spoof the new technology developments with new technological developments of there own? Ie. (New stealth nano coatings) Discuss. |

| Just to get this thread in appropriate hierarchy on these boards: Recent MASER developments can aid the attacker in A2G, e.g., m/l/gbu in changing weather conditions by guidance to ground target. These only make S2A and A2A easier to defend against for a prospective aerial target if the adversary is dumb enough to place heavy reliance on MASER detection and guidance in those realms. (They won't.) The technology if it proves out should have a variety of military and civilian applications, which is good news. |

| That would be MIDAR wouldn't it? Like LIDAR only at microwave frequencies. |

| Or an extremely powerful MM wave radar. |

Maybe DIMCM (EM version of DIRCM)?
I wonder if it's tuneable? |

British for "scientist". It started as referring only to sinister or comically careless/absentminded types, like you might see inventing world-destroying stuff or unleashing garbage-can robots in cheesey old black-&-white movies. Its use gradually became more common for almost any context in which the speaker/author wanted to sound casual & informal, until it apparently finally crept into news reports because news people think it sounds funny and clever, just like all those puns they love so much. |

Probably not -- I could be wrong, but it looks like a lazing mechanism rather than an electronic mechanism. |
