US Army Developing Encrypted Radar Waveform (thestack.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The U.S. army is working on an innovative technology for masking radar emissions in contested territory and environments with heavily congested radio bands. Effective radar system performance is critical in military operations, yet remains a challenge in locations under attack or in areas of high traffic density. Army researchers have now developed a noise-encrypted radar waveform called Advanced Pulse Compression Noise (APCN), which can be tuned in real-time to allow users to adjust radar performance depending on their surroundings. Research scientist, Mark Govoni explained: 'Having the ability to transmit a radar waveform that's continually changing, one that never repeats itself, and looks like noise, is extremely difficult to intercept....and remains anonymous to radar detectors.'

    Directed energy assaults on humans has been occurring for decades and it cannot be detected. It comes from military over the horizon radar and satellites.

    What I know is this sounds like an old technology the Army is trying to puppet as just being developed when they mastered directed energy eons ago.
