STEALTH WARFARE ... DECLASSIFIED Did Russia get secret US stealth technology from a downed Stealth Fighter? Did Nazi scientists working for Hitler's Third Reich develop stealth aircraft that were used as a basis for US stealth development? Is stealth technology creating new superweapons and superplanes for secret future war plans? Are UFOs connected with stealth? Do other countries, such as India, China, North Korea and Russia possess advanced stealth technologies? Has the US government secretly bought Russian stealth weaponry in order to study and reverse-engineer it? Are stealth aircraft really as stealthy as advertised? Or can they be detected and even tracked with available technology? These and other questions are answered in David Alexander's groundbreaking Stealth Warfare, the only book of its kind ever written, and one that tells secrets that the Defense Department, the CIA and agencies too covert to even mention want kept behind locked doors. In Stealth Warfare, a work that began as a classified study toward establishing developmental priorities toward the year 2030, bestselling author and globally recognized defense analyst and consultant David Alexander has framed the essence of stealth warfare from its mythological beginnings with the Trojan Horse to the modern technological marvels of stealth aircraft, submarines, and satellites. From the foreword by Col. John G. Lackey (Ret.), US Army: His groundbreaking Stealth Warfare is a singular achievement -- by far the most comprehensive open source reference to this field of military endeavor you will find – now and probably ever. Even with those classified, eyes-only portions removed for reasons of national security, it stands as an unparalleled reference source for the military professional as well as historians or the casual reader, and reads like the best fiction to boot In this epochal work, author David Alexander has skillfully outlined the history of stealth warfare, carefully weaving it into the American military genre by focusing on specific, carefully chosen warfare events, beginning with basic soldiering and ending with modern stealth aircraft, submarines, missiles, mines, drones, robots and the individual combatants’ battlefield equipment. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Alexander’s Stealth Warfare is his account of those technical realities that are so vividly described from the beginnings of high-altitude reconnaissance programs such as U-2 and SR-71, as well as overhead satellite surveillance programs like Corona. The understanding gained from the tactical histories and operational capabilities of the F-117A Nighthawk and B-2 strategic bomber provides an understanding of the vast superiority which the United States has in the air in regard to stealth technology. Unlock the secrets of stealth. Read David Alexander's Stealth Warfare... before it disappears. Reviews "The push to develop an awesome array of superplanes and superweapons was to be crowned by Goering's "thousand by thousand by thousand" directive, which was Luftwaffe shorthand for the need to build an aircraft capable of flying a thousand kilometers carrying a thousand kilograms of weapons at a thousand kilometers per hour. This ambitious master plan went hand in hand with the effort to develop a nuclear weapon that the plane would carry. The main goal of a long-range intercontinental bomber of this type would be to strike the United States." -- Excerpt from Stealth Warfare by author David Alexander "Lockheed aircraft designer Ben Rich, who worked for Clarence "Kelly" Johnson at Lockheed's Skunk Works wrote that "a low observable aircraft has to be good in six disciplines -- radar, infrared, noise, smoke, contrails and visibility -- otherwise you flunk the course." That these considerations figured in postwar advanced aircraft designs is self-evident even just from the standpoint of fuselage designs -- stealth is right in front of you if you have eyes to see it. Though the aerospace industry and the Pentagon tried to keep stealth research secret stealth was always part of the program. As mentioned earlier, the bulk of the programs of this era were black, that is, clandestine projects. Even those few projects whose existence was grudgingly revealed, such as the U-2 and A-12/SR-71 Blackbird family spy planes, were never entirely declassified. As Churchill observed, in war the truth must sometimes be protected by a bodyguard of lies. Divulging information about critical capabilities of military aircraft can and will give adversaries valuable clues to countermeasures it can use against them. For this reason it has to be assumed that a great deal of deliberate disinformation surrounds even the most familiar of white world projects. Another reason for the secrecy that cloaked special postwar aircraft projects is that much of it was based on captured prototypes and research done by Nazi technicians, many of whom were now working in the US under government auspices and official protection. Public recognition of these facts so soon after the war would have aroused a national outcry. The intelligence and defense establishments who had put those ex-Nazis to work needed to avoid such a scenario. A cloak of secrecy also surrounds the technology transfer issues that gave rise to postwar advanced aircraft programs. At the close of World War Two the United States came out the winner in a race by the three victorious Allied powers to grab the cream of Nazi weapons technology and the Reich's brain trust." -- Excerpt from Stealth Warfare by author David Alexander "British personnel, including RAF pilots on exchange programs, had been secretly involved in the Stealth Fighter programs run by the United States for a long time. Unknown to the public in both the US and UK, a secret protocol between Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had led to a handful of key officials within the MOD gaining unprecedented access to the F-177A Stealth Fighter since the early 1980s. The partnership in stealth between the two transatlantic allies dates back to the Second World War where, as we've seen, the secrets of Operation Bodyguard, including Ultra and Enigma, were shared and cooperatively developed as a secret weapon against the Third Reich. Afterward, during the Cold War, the clandestine partnership in stealth continued against the Soviets and their East Bloc allies." -- Excerpt from Stealth Warfare by author David Alexander "One of the most sensitive military secrets of the Cold War is that in the early 1960s the Macmillan government in the UK turned over to the Kennedy administration virtually everything that the British knew about stealth technology, and it was a considerable amount. The British didn't then have the material resources to develop this technology, but the US, with its vast, virtually unlimited industrial capacity and bottomless money pit, very much did. The stealth relationship entered a new, clandestine phase: the UK would henceforward be an insider in US stealth development. By the time the F-117A Stealth Fighter was rolled out of a hangar at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada for its first public showing on April 21, 1990, ending speculation concerning the existence of a secret invisible warplane developed by the US, British RAF pilots had been training on the F-117A for at least a year, indeed since the earliest prototypes were available for flight trials in 1982. Beyond this, the F-117A was evaluated for possible purchase by the RAF but turned down by MOD; at 10 Downing Street there were other plans concerning future acquisitions of stealth aircraft." -- Excerpt from Stealth Warfare by author David Alexander "Regional disputes could be intensified by stealth because stealth enhances the lethality of conventional warfare and greases the slide towards escalation of the conflict. Once the conflict escalates it can become a vortex that draws bystanders in toward the center. The former bystanders, who are inevitably bigger powers, would then take sides and fight with one another. If all or most were stealth-capable, stealth-on-stealth warfare could produce a stalemate that might progress to the use of weapons of mass destruction as the conflict worsened." -- Excerpt from Stealth Warfare by author David Alexander
The story behind the technology that revolutionized both aeronautics, and the course of history.On a moonless night in January 1991, a dozen airplanes appeared in the skies over Baghdad. Or, rather, didn't appear. They arrived in the dark, their black outlines cloaking them from sight. More importantly, their odd, angular shapes, which made them look like flying origami, rendered themundetectable to Iraq's formidable air defenses. Stealth technology, developed during the decades before Desert Storm, had arrived. To American planners and strategists at the outset of the Cold War, this seemingly ultimate way to gain ascendance over the USSR was only a question. What if the UnitedStates could defend its airspace while at the same time send a plane through Soviet skies undetected? A craft with such capacity would have to be essentially invisible to radar - an apparently miraculous feat of physics and engineering. In Stealth, Peter Westwick unveils the process by which theimpossible was achieved.At heart, Stealth is a tale of two aerospace companies, Lockheed and Northrop, and their fierce competition - with each other and with themselves - to obtain what was estimated one of the largest procurement contracts in history. Westwick's book fully explores the individual and collective ingenuityand determination required to make these planes and in the process provides a fresh view of the period leading up to the end of the Soviet Union. Taking into account the role of technology, as well as the art and science of physics and engineering, Westwick offers an engaging narrative, one thatimmerses readers in the race to produce a weapon that some thought might save the world, and which certainly changed it.

How performances of tactical imperceptibility—or “stealth”—have become a key political practice in digital culture as a means of escaping surveillance and tracking technologies. In The Aesthetics of Stealth, Toni Pape proposes the first aesthetic and cultural theory of stealth, a mode of political action. The primary goal of stealth is to act efficiently while remaining imperceptible. Pape begins with the observation that the desire for stealth is a sociocultural response to digital media culture, due to digital technologies’ unprecedented ability to track individual behavior. He argues that stealth operates as a cross-media aesthetic that can be observed in video games, television, and video art alike, particularly in so-called stealth video games, a genre that requires players to accomplish missions without being detected by in-game enemies. Drawing on theories of perception, digital aesthetics, and video game studies, Pape proposes an analytical map of different modes of stealth such as “sneaking stealth,” “social stealth,” or “magical stealth.” The author’s findings are brought into dialogue with research in the fields of software studies, surveillance studies, and political theory to establish the political importance of stealth. While stealth is a resistance to pervasive sensing and tracking, Pape also shows that the principles of stealth politics are closely connected to urgent concerns like (cyber)warfare and other digital practices of targeting and surveillance that operate to entrench cultural values like heteronormativity and white supremacy.
In the world of assessment, traditional methods often fall short, providing limited insight into individuals' skills and abilities while being susceptible to response biases. Recognizing these shortcomings, researchers have delved into the realm of stealth assessments, a novel approach that embeds traditional measurement techniques within a game-based environment. By seamlessly integrating assessment into gameplay, stealth assessments offer a contextually rich and unobtrusive method of data collection, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the constructs being assessed. Games as Stealth Assessments unveils the promising field of stealth assessment, exploring its design considerations, research methods, and practical applications. Drawing upon a foundation of psychometrically-sound assessment practices, this book delves into the intersection of thoughtful game design and empirical support for the use of stealth assessments. It justifies the adoption of stealth assessments in academic disciplines such as mathematics, science, and literacy, as well as in the assessment of psychological constructs like aggression, social skills, and self-regulation.
America seems to have little sense of how the Civil Rights Movement actually played into southern politics over the remainder of the twentieth Century. The common vision is a monolithic struggle between heroes and villains, depicted literally and figuratively in black and white. Unfortunately, this conception provides incomplete explanation for subsequent progress in the southern political system. This book reveals that, amid all the heroic history of that time, there is a fascinating story of “stealth reconstruction” – i.e., the unheroic, quiet, practical, biracial work of some white politicians and black leaders, a story untold and unknown until now.
First book to give an insight into a growing area of interest - stealth warship technology - which is crucial for future developments in warship construction. It demonstrates the importance of materials used in warship construction and how this influences all of a naval platform's design parameters. Stealth technology is now considered a critical component within warship design, with interest in the concept of stealth increasing around the globe as naval forces adapt to new challenges. Many new developing nations are now implementing their first generation of stealth technology military hardware. This exciting book explores the full extent of threats to warships and thus the transformational change in naval architecture to incorporate these modern stealth technologies. Discussing the history of stealth technology, with references to well-known aircraft, ships and events in military history, the book also provides readers with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of the specialist skills required in this naval sector. This is an essential read for anyone interested in stealth design and the issues involved in this evolving technology.
Though it has been nearly seventy years since the Holocaust, the human capacity for evil displayed by its perpetrators is still shocking and haunting. But the story of the Nazi attempt to annihilate European Jewry is not all we should remember. Stealth Altruism tells of secret, non-militant, high-risk efforts by “Carers,” those victims who tried to reduce suffering and improve everyone’s chances of survival. Their empowering acts of altruism remind us of our inherent longing to do good even in situations of extraordinary brutality. Arthur B. Shostak explores forbidden acts of kindness, such as sharing scarce clothing and food rations, holding up weakened fellow prisoners during roll call, secretly replacing an ailing friend in an exhausting work detail, and much more. He explores the motivation behind this dangerous behavior, how it differed when in or out of sight, who provided or undermined forbidden care, the differing experiences of men and women, how and why gentiles provided aid, and, most importantly, how might the costly obscurity of stealth altruism soon be corrected. To date, memorialization has emphasized what was done to victims and sidelined what victims tried to do for one another. “Carers” provide an inspiring model and their perilous efforts should be recognized and taught alongside the horrors of the Holocaust. Humanity needs such inspiration.
