A stealthy tank is hard to spot from a distance. It will have a flat, angled surface and some equipment under the surface. An example of a stealth tank is the Zumwalt Class destroyer. Although it is larger than an Arleigh Burke Class destroyer it maintains a stealthy flat shape. For an expeditionary army, however, a larger tank would not be ideal.
Active camouflage
A stealth tank with active camouflage technology is a unique way to make it appear like it's part in the scenery. The system uses on-board cameras to pick up scenery and recreate that on the tank's hull. It can change colors, lines, and shapes to match the surrounding environment. It's also capable of changing its infrared appearance to make it less visible to an attacker.
While traditional stealth makes sense for aircraft, it's less effective for tanks. Radars have a limited range and cannot detect tank-shaped objects. In addition, radar is only effective in airspace and the ocean.
Low detectable stealth
The low observable (LO) stealth tank is the newest and most advanced tank in the US Army's inventory. The tank was built with the end of life in mind. This holistic approach incorporates low observable design elements, durable materials and effective training.
Modern warfare has many uses for LO, including the ability to block radar detection. Many types of aircraft and military vehicles have been equipped with low observable technology. F-117A, which is a single-seat dual-engine strike aircraft, and Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor are two examples of stealth planes. These single-seat tactical fighters feature twin-engines. Stealth aircraft can be nearly invisible to radar and other detection techniques due to their low-observability capabilities.
Low range
There have been many attempts over the years to create stealth tank designs for the military. However, these efforts often ran into problems like high power requirements and low robustness. The Su-57 is a prototype for this type of vehicle. The Su-57's hull is made of bare metal, right next to the engine. Open backs are one drawback. The gun's back blasts would escape. For reloading, the loader will need to be away from the tank.
Military planners love the idea of stealth. However, this concept also has political implications. The military could use a stealth tank to make it more versatile and less likely to be detected by enemy forces. It would also enable a smaller, lighter tank to be used. Because it is smaller and lighter, its cost would be lower. Its use would also be more common. A stealth tank could augment Stryker brigades with firepower and be useful in special operations.
Weapons
A few weapons can inflict a lot damage to Stealth Tanks. Combat Drone is one example. It has high attack strength and can cause a lot damage to the tank. It can also hit targets from afar. However, there are some disadvantages to this weapon.
The Zeusito can fire explosive rounds. This weapon is great if you need to eliminate small groups of enemy soldiers and choppers. However, it has a low damage output, and you can't use a suppressor. This weapon is useful in certain situations because the tank can be very annoying to enemies.
