not sure if these can be added or already added. But found them on the FAS site.
Very sensitive infrared sensors that do not require cryogenic cooling. The research claimed that by reducing IR sensor thermal noise through electrostatic heat transfer techniques, today's best IR array could operate at sensitivities several orders of magnitude better than is possible with cryogenic cooling. Environmental monitoring satellites -- as well as strategic defense sensors on Brilliant Pebbles and Brilliant Eyes -- could use this technology to extend the on-orbit life of infrared sensors indefinitely.
Instantly altering the thermal equilibrium of a large optical lens or mirror through electrostatic bulk cooling methods. The result is analogous to that attained with phase conjugate optics in telescopes or imaging devices employing an elastic-type mirror. 'We spent a lot of money in the 1980s developing a micro processor interface to a high voltage power supply...to control optical arrays,' the scientist said. 'The results were absolutely astounding.'
Using random access memory (RAM) to detect or transmit low levels of near and far infrared energy. When incorporated into a feedback system for temperature stabilization, the RAM could be used as an esoteric IR detector that is simple and reliable, he claimed.
Low observable ceramics made from powdered, depleted uranium, the resulting dielectric material has approximately 92 percent the bulk density of depleted uranium, but is about 20 times harder.
Short pulse Doppler radar (SPDR) -- which may be the black world's term for ultra-wideband radar (UWB)....could detect air vehicles 2,500 nm away in all weather conditions....the capability of SPDR to also detect stealthy vehicles has kept the technology in limbo since the mid-1980s...any stealth technology stood out like a sore thumb when hit by short-pulse doppler."

ur welcome i keep looking for techs.
