The development of technologies that can rival the devices used by other countries in the defense industry, and more importantly, can disable their devices is becoming more critical. Radar absorber materials (RAM) make the detection of the material on the radar difficult because of absorbing a part of the electromagnetic wave sent by the radar. Considering that radar is one of the most important technologies used in the defense industry, the production of non-radar materials is vital for all countries in the world. Covering a gun platform with radar absorber material reduces the radar-cross-sectional area (RCA) value representing the visibility of that platform on the radar. This review aims to present the electromagnetic principles and developed Radar Absorbent Materials (RAM) during decades from the 1960s. The frequency range 8-12 GHz in the electromagnetic spectrum is named the microwave region and used in airport radar applications. Revised basis of electromagnetic theory and defined by a variety of absorbent materials and some design classification types and techniques are described in this article.

Coraz większego znaczenia nabiera rozwój technologii mogących konkurować z produktami przemysłu obronnego używanymi przez inne kraje oraz, co istotniejsze, uniemożliwiać prawidłowe działanie tych produktów. Materiały pochłaniające promieniowanie (RAM – radiation-absorbent material) utrudniają wykrycie obiektu przez radar, absorbując część wiązki elektromagnetycznej wysłanej przez to urządzenie. Biorąc pod uwagę to, że radiolokacja stanowi jedną z najistotniejszych technologii stosowanych w przemyśle obronnym, produkcja materiałów zakłócających jej skuteczność ma kluczowe znaczenie dla wszystkich krajów świata. Pokrycie platformy bojowej materiałem pochłaniającym promieniowanie ogranicza skuteczną powierzchnię odbicia (SPO), od której zależna jest widoczność tej platformy na radarze. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie zasad elektromagnetyzmu oraz rozwoju materiałów pochłaniających promieniowanie począwszy od lat sześćdziesiątych XX w. Fale elektromagnetyczne o częstotliwości 8-12 GHz określane są jako mikrofale i mają zastosowanie w urządzeniach radiolokacyjnych lotnisk. W artykule przedstawiono uaktualnione podstawy teorii elektromagnetycznej, zdefiniowano różnorodne materiały pochłaniające oraz przedstawiono niektóre typy i techniki.
