Good luck!

your Stealth technology edits

I am highly intrigued by your contributions to the Stealth technology page, regarding signal processing of "stealthy" radar returns. You said,

it has since become less effective due to developments in the algorithms used to process the data received by radars, such as Bayesian particle filter (a.k.a. Sequential Monte Carlo) methods for estimating dynamical models which are effectively nonlinear versions of the Kalman filter.

Do you think you could expand on this a bit and make it more understandable for the layperson? How much exactly is "less effective"? How prevalent are the those algorithms in radar processing today? What is the state of their development (about matured and complete, or still a hot topic)? Also, a basic conceptual breakdown of the methods you describe would be very helpful. Perhaps you could put this all in an additional section of the page, titled something like "Detecting Stealth".

Also, are you by any chance an engineer or scientist in the relevant field(s)? You appear to be quite informed on the subject. ✈ James C. 04:44, 2004 Aug 22 (UTC)
