Defense Intelligence Reference Document Invisibilty Cloaking Theory And Experiments
Defense Intelligence Agency · 29 pages · text from the file's own layer
This Defense Intelligence Reference Document, dated 2 March 2010 and produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency under its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program, is a technical survey of invisibility. It covers camouflage, including stealth aircraft and optical camouflage, then transparency, cloaking by coordinate transformation, metamaterials and non-Euclidean broadband cloaking. It concludes that perfect cloaking is impossible but imperfect microwave cloaks are within reach of present technology. Whether cloaking will work at visible wavelengths remains unclear.
