Theres a concept known as Low Probability of Interception where the radio or radar is made to be hard to be detected.

One way is to jump around on different frequencies at a high rate of speed which makes finding the signal hard, another is low power and also irregular transmission lengths.

They try to make it look like noise that doesn’t seem like a coherent signal
