Stealth turbines? How AI and nanotech could make wind farms ‘disappear’

Nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and mesh sensor networks could help scrub wind turbines from radar sensors and even turn them into military assets

Stealth technology similar to that used in aircraft could soon be used to reduce the clutter that wind turbines cause military radar systems. — A US Air Force stealth bomber flies above a UK wind farm with two RAF F-35 jets.
