It seems alot of importance is put into stealth for aircraft these days,
just wondering who is working on a countering radar system for it?

Germany has its own version of the '90s Czech anti-stealth radar
(which they purchased)as well as EADs developing an anti-stealth
missile that uses multiple seekers to hunt stealth aircraft. One of
the seekers is a plume detector which goes back to WW2 and the
Feuerball weapon (aka Foo Fighter).
Europe has a range of cellular radars and France even has an
Ionospherical radar.
Of course, aircraft like the F-117 aren't really invisible. They can
be detected visually, acoustically, with various LO radars, and as
soon as the bomb bay doors are open.
In the first Gulf War one F-117 was targeted and narrowly avoided
being hit by 2 SAMs while one was actually downed in the Kosovo
conflict. I'm sure we would lose a few more if we ever overflew China
or the FSU with them. The strange thing is that our "friends" are
putting more money into anti-stealth than our "enemies"...
