Boys and girls, if they make this work, the tech curve just got a lot nastier for sensors
Tech dreams of organic toys
And I'm runnin' out on the edge
Soft screams of the rockerboys
Echoing through my head

Well there goes stealth... time for more speed, armor and guns... at least until i can actually figure out the hacking rules.

Note this is only good against active radar masking, where you try to send false info back to the sensor.

Passive techniques for scattering or absorbing radar will work just fine.

It may, however, be of use against ruthenium fiber type optical camouflage.

Don't know much about physics, but I'm not certain that the current passive techniques (which absorb/scatter RF signals) would work on photons too.

Whether it's analogous or not, there is the MSOS MkI sensor from Spy Games, which seemingly does perform the same function for optical camouflage. Now I suppose a variant for RADAR / UWB (?) should be a possibility.

Remember that any detection system is only flawless until stealth systems advance to counter it.
