Information on RAM

RAM has electrical properties similar to free space. When radar impacts RAM, the energy acts as though it "sees" infinite free space instead of a boundary. The absorbed electromagnetic energy is dissipated as heat and very little energy is reflected.
     The disadvantages of RAM include additional weight, expense, heating problems and aerodynamic drag (if applicable).
