India's 'Analakshya' introduction would send shockwaves to China, Pakistan

NEW DELHI: In a cutting-edge defence move, India developed a metamaterial surface cloaking system to hide fighter jets and radars from enemy sightings. A team of researchers at IIT Kanpur is behind the technology that will be an asset to the Indian defence sector. Researchers named the technology as (Anālakṣhya MSCS).

Researchers at IIT Kanpur have developed a special material that absorbs the signals emitted by radar stations. Due to this, fighter jets would not be detected by the enemy through radar. The invention has been deemed successful after various experiments conducted in the laboratory and open field from 2019 to 2024. Anālakṣhya MSCS, the stealth technology, will soon become part of the army.

This technology is crucial for the advanced medium combat aircraft that India plans to develop indigenously. Only a few countries boast of such stealth technology and now India has also found a place in that elite list. This technique will help the country's internal security and provide strong countermeasures to enemies who carry out cross-border attacks.

A private company called Meta Tattva Systems has been assigned to work on the commercial production of Anālakṣhya MSCS. For this, the technology has been transferred as per the agreement. This technology can be used in fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles, warships and army tanks.

Countries like America, China and Russia are using similar technology in their fifth-generation fighter jets.
