Radar was never the only sensor watching — the aircraft is still seen, heard, and felt in the infrared. Fuse every band into one picture and detection becomes a union, so the range that decides survivability is R_det = max_b R_b: you are only as quiet as your loudest band.
The visual and acoustic bands as context, EO/IR as the band that never leaves, and the fusion rule that crowns your loudest band as the one that finds you.

Pre-flightFive questions to work before class — anyone can be called to the board.
SlidesThe deck we work through in class, as a PDF you can annotate.
DemoGive one aircraft four bands, spend decibels on the wrong one and watch detection sit still — then hit the loudest and watch the limiter jump.
