: The technology allows for the world's first "stealth airborne ranger unit" to be deployed deep into hostile territory (Central America/Mexico) without being picked up on enemy radar.

In the 1999 military action film , the "active stealth" feature refers to experimental technology that allows an elite strike team's aircraft to arrive at its destination totally undetected .

In real-world military science, "active stealth" often refers to techniques that go beyond passive shaping (like the B-2 bomber) to actively manipulate radar signals:

: A theoretical process where ionized gas (plasma) is injected around the aircraft to absorb or deflect electromagnetic energy from radar waves.

: Technology developed to reduce the radar cross-section (RCS) of a vehicle regardless of its physical shape, which can even be turned on or off to reconfigure the aircraft's stealth status.

: The plane used by Captain Murphy (Daniel Baldwin) is described as having "experimental stealth technology" and "active stealth" protection, making it a highly valuable asset that is eventually targeted for theft. Real-World "Active Stealth" Concepts
