I find it very strange that the american army-navy-air force still think in terms of cold war tactics. I mean many countries even if they don't have the sheer force of the american navy have non the less quite devastating conventional weapons such as the squall.
Why aren't americans researching such a technology ?
The same thing happens with the F-22 raptor.
An extremely conventional and pricey fighter that doesn't stand up against the Eurofighter nor the Rafale.
The french are even developping a system that would enable the Rafale to be literally invisible to radar waves without having to design the aircraft around RAM materials nor fancy airframes.
They are designing an active cancellation hardware, which the americans aren't even considering researching.
