One of the technologies that have been spoken about in the
book Spirit Raiders is GAM. GAM stands for Global Air Map and it was developed
to detect Stealth Fighters. Stealth fighters by nature of construction remain
undetectable to RADAR; RADAR being the current technology for detecting
aircrafts. GAM was an improvement over RADAR. How? Let’s see.
GAM technology attempts to bring together the aspect of
RADAR being deflected or absorbed by Stealth aircrafts and to use a satellite
to visually pin point the location of deflection or absorption. This use of
RADAR and visual pin point by a satellite enables a Stealth Aircraft to be made
visible. Stealth fighters, therefore, remained stealth no more. More of this
can be read in the book.
There are talks that the world has already figured out ways
to detect stealth fighters, however, the general population does not know about it. This technology
even if it exists we can be rest assured that details will not be out for a decade at least.
So, that’s about GAM, a technology which was made up for
the book.
Truth-o-meter: *Zero
Facts: GAM is a made up concept. However, a technology being
in place to detect stealth fighter cannot be ruled out. Chances are that such
technology would remain classified and not known to the general population.
Concept seen in: Spirit
Raiders, a science fiction novel

while one stands for actual reality.
