India is advancing the stealth capabilities of its Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) by establishing a Microwave Radar Absorbing Material (MRAM) testing facility. This facility will evaluate advanced materials and coatings designed to absorb microwave electromagnetic energy, reducing the AMCA’s radar cross-section. It will test innovative carbon-based composites and meta-materials developed indigenously to meet strict stealth standards. IIT Kanpur’s “Anālakṣhya” meta-material cloaking system offers near-perfect radar wave absorption, making the aircraft nearly invisible to enemy radar, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). This indigenous technology also improves durability and lowers maintenance. By developing this facility and leveraging homegrown stealth materials, India strengthens defense readiness, ensures strategic autonomy, and reduces dependence on foreign technology. These advancements are vital for the AMCA’s effectiveness and survivability in contested airspaces, giving India a strategic edge in future aerial combat.
