The Salisbury screen, invented by American engineer Winfield Salisbury in 1952, was one of the first concepts in radar absorbent material, used to prevent enemy radar detection of military vehicles. It was first applied to ship radar cross section (RCS) reduction. There have been many design refinements to the concept since that time, motivated by the increasing interest in stealth technology.Salisbury screens operate on the same principle as optical antireflection coatings used on the surface of camera lenses and glasses to prevent them from reflecting light. The easiest to understand Salisbury screen design consists of three layers: a ground plane which is the metallic surface that needs to be concealed, a lossless dielectric of a precise thickness (a quarter of the wavelength of the radar wave to be absorbed), and a thin lossy screen.
