I don't think it's a separate sense. Not a noun.

  Comments:
Just encountered:
隠密の手段として...  =  as a means of stealth.  

This certainly seems to have a strictly noun sense available, basically "stealth as a concept". Granted it is uncommon by comparison to [1] and [3].  I'd hate to throw away all of the adj glosses just because this can be a noun though.

Skimming through yourei, it's surprising just how common [3] actually is among the 1700+ matches.
