The material may be used as a stealth material that is effective against both infrared and microwave detection and could prove suitable for high-speed aircraft and missiles.
Modern battlefield surveillance relies heavily on infrared and microwave detection. Infrared systems detect thermal radiation emitted by objects, while microwave systems use radars that emit and receive reflected microwave signals to locate targets.
As detection technologies evolve, stealth materials have also advanced, with many now designed for multispectral stealth – covering everything from visible light to microwaves.

These temperatures stem from external heat sources such as aerodynamic heating or internal ones such as exhaust nozzles, causing intense thermal radiation across the infrared spectrum.
