Jindalee has been able to detect Stealth platforms since 1988.
Thx. But plaforms and stealth have evolved, and this counterstealth might be lured if not defeated thought spectromatic haze and fog (that's poetry guys).
So what we're talking about here, with quantum radars, is a new technology based on known albeit century old different physical principles. Which means getting enhanced, different information on targets.
A.
As Jindalee detects Stealth by detecting wave turbulence rather than the physical aircraft/ship, I think you are mistaken.
That was against First generation facetted designs (i.e. the F-117). I don't think it has ever detected a F-22 or an equivalent simulated proxy in testing. And if I further recall correctly, it was never able to reliably
track a F-117 without an augmenter. On the other hand, the F-35 might be a different matter, particularly the B model when it's using the lift fan.
EDIT: To be clear, it's generaly not capable of detecting a unaugmented B-2 either (despite some, ah, optimistic claims by the Jindalee design team early in it's development), though cycling the bomb bay doors to drop weapons may be a brief exception to this.
