Valery Polovinkin, Scientific Director of the Krylov State Research Center (SSC), announced that the center is developing metamaterials designed to make ships of the Russian Navy virtually invisible to detection. This technological achievement will be revolutionary in the field of defense.
Polovinkin noted that the center's main focus is now on studying physical fields and developing methods to reduce them. The creation of metamaterials, or smart materials, will allow ships to bypass any detection signals, which will significantly increase their efficiency and safety. According to the scientists' idea, the detection signal, encountering a metamaterial, will bypass the object and go further without being reflected.
Regardless of the type of weapons and armaments, the vulnerability of an object is determined by the physical fields, as we call them, of the upper hemisphere [superstructure - ed. note]. These are electromagnetic, magnetic, electric, optical, and location fields.
Earlier, the Krylov State Research Center presented recommendations for the development of a new project 22350M frigate.
