Radar stealth would be a great application, yes -- assuming they can
make it work with multiple radar frequencies at once, and make it
"cloak" the metamaterial as well as whatever's inside it.  The trouble
right now with using metamaterials to hide things is that after you hide
the object by surrounding it with metamaterial, you have to hide the
metamaterial too ....
