GhostWave radars use randomly generated noise signals to disguise themselves as noise. This gives them a low probability of detection (LPD). Stealth radar can detect incoming threats without giving away your presence. The return signals are only readable using cross-correlation with the signal transmitted, which only the GhostWave radar knows.
