This book presents a comprehensive review of plasma-based stealth  covering the basics  methods
parametric analysis  and challenges towards the realization of the idea. The concealment of
aircraft from radar sources  or stealth  is achieved through shaping  radar absorbing coatings
engineered materials  or plasma  etc. Plasma-based stealth is a radar cross section (RCS)
reduction technique associated with the reflection and absorption of incident electromagnetic
(EM) waves by the plasma layer surrounding the structure. A plasma cloud covering the aircraft
may give rise to other signatures such as thermal  acoustic  infrared  or visual. Thus it is a
matter of concern that the RCS reduction by plasma enhances its detectability due to other
signatures. This needs a careful approach towards the plasma generation and its EM wave
interaction. The book starts with the basics of EM wave interactions with plasma  briefly
discuss the methods used to analyze the propagation characteristics of plasma  and its
generation. It presents the parametric analysis of propagation behaviour of plasma  and the
challenges in the implementation of plasma-based stealth technology. This review serves as a
starting point for the graduate and research students  scientists and engineers working in the
area of low-observables and stealth technology.
