Stealth & Radar
1 Answers
If stealth avionics involves the minimisation of radar signatures, that is, to reduce the reflection such that the plane appears to be a much smaller object (a bird for example), then why do the enemy not ask what the hell a bird would be doing travelling at 60,000 feet at 600mph ?!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.My guess would be that radars automatically filter out object reflecting less than X amount of radar energy in order to reduce on-screen clutter otherwise it would be rather difficult to make out anything on you screen.
Another reason may be that whilst a ground-based radar may pick up a smaller - bird sized object - the radar on a missile may not be powerful enough to pick it up and hence intercept, rendering the on-ground detection moot
Just guesses though
