Common term applied to low observable (LO) technology and doctrine, that makes an aircraft near invisible to radar, infrared or visual detection
Denotes any game where gameplay strongly centers around not being detected, searching for hidden/secret items, and otherwise avoiding conflict. The protagonist is usually a spy or government operative, however any game that has stealth as its core gameplay mechanic qualifies. Examples: Splinter Cell, Hitman, etc.
low-visibility aircraft with little or no radar signature
A virus that uses one or more of various techniques to avoid detection. A Stealth virus may redirect system pointers and information in order to infect a file without actually changing the infected program file. Another Stealth technique is to conceal an increase in file length by displaying the original, uninfected file length.
viruses that use this technique attempt to conceal their presence from the eyes of the user in order not to raise suspicion and to trick him/her into believing that nothing has gone awry. This technique is mostly used by resident viruses, although it may also be used by other types.
"Stealth"-viruses (invisible viruses) are programs that hook DOS calls to infected files or disk sectors and "substitute" uninfected information areas with themselves. Apart from this, such viruses use original enough algorithms on accessing files, allowing "to deceive" antiviral TSR monitors. To the class of "stealth"-viruses belong viruses such as "Frodo" , "Fish#6" , "Brain" and others.
Audio baffling uses special electronics to transmit an inverse wave that cancels out the sound signature produced by the unit.
Stealth makes the unit harder to detect. Radar / IR baffling makes the unit harder to detect via radar by using angular construction designed to reflect the radar waves away from the source, as well as special paints and materials to absorb radar waves. The exhaust ports are cooled and concealed making the unit's IR signature lower also.
Visual stealth is achieved using photoreceptors, fiber optics, liquid Crystal and plasma displays to render the unit almost invisible by bending light from one side of the unit to the other.
