We have had this tech for over 40 years! Track Break Notch will do similar things by either walking a radar off you, or move your position according to what the radar can see.
The bigger problem is millimeter band radar, you need really funky waveguides to broadcast these as a normal antenna can't cope the small wave frequency.
The A6 from the Navy and the EF-111A from the USAF both could manage similar things to this, I can only hope they have managed to it smaller as the units for each section of bandwidth were the size of a small coffin, and you needed LOTS to cover the threat assessment for a given area.
Smells more like grant sniffing to me..

The ones in the Northeast must have a bitch of a time, when I was growing up in southern Maine, there were 4 within 10 miles distance of our house, now the closest one is Saco, glad to see it's still running . In addition to the short season, you had to contend with either small black Midges that really leave a welt, or the garden variety industrial size mozzies that take turns trying to bust in the window if they catch a wiff of your C02. Ahhh the good ol days....

So in order to not offend ANYONE, NO ONE is allowed to say ANYTHING.
This goes right along with sports where there is no winner\ everyone gets a trophy to PC playgrounds with no jungle gyms.
I weep at what has happened to my country in the past 30 years. I think it's time to start again from scratch.
