Stealth tanks are designed to be hard to spot from afar. It will have some of its equipment hidden below 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. However, a larger tank will not be ideal for an expeditionary army.
Active camouflage
Active camouflage is a way for stealth tanks to appear part of the natural landscape. 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 can also change its infrared appearance, making it less obvious to attackers.
While traditional stealth works well for aircraft, it is less efficient for tanks. Radars are not able to detect tanks-shaped objects on the ground and have a limited range. Radar is also only useful in airspace or the ocean.
Low detectable stealth
The US Army's most advanced tank, the stealth tank with low observation (LO), is the latest and greatest. This tank is designed to last. It incorporates durable materials, low-observability maintenance and design features that are low in observable.
LO has many applications in modern warfare, including preventing detection by radar. Low-observable technology can be used on a variety of military vehicles and aircraft. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a single-seat twin-engine tactical aircraft fighter and the Lockheed Martin F-117A is a single-seat, twin-engine strike plane. Stealth aircraft can be nearly invisible to radar and other detection techniques due to their low-observability capabilities.
Low range
There are many attempts to make stealth tanks for the military over the years. However, they have faced numerous challenges such as high power requirements or poor robustness. One prototype of this type is the Su-57, a recent project. The Su-57's hull features bare metal near its engine. One of its drawbacks is its open backs. The gun's back blasts would escape. For reloading, the loader will need to be away from the tank.
The idea is attractive to military planners due to its potential for theft. However, the concept has political implications. It would allow the military to use it in more places without being detected by enemies. It would also make it lighter and smaller. It would also be cheaper and more frequently used. A stealth tank could be used to augment Stryker brigades' firepower and in special operations.
Weapons
A few weapons can cause a lot of damage on a Stealth Tank. Combat Drone for instance has a high level of attack strength which can do significant damage to this tank. It can also hit targets at a distance. This weapon has some limitations.
The Zeusito fires explosive rounds. This weapon is ideal for small clusters or choppers of enemy soldiers. You can't suppress the tank's damage output. This weapon will come in handy when the tank is annoying enemies.
