Athena System
Controlled by a supercomputer, or in some cases, an AI Construct, the Athena System is a powerful active stealth system. Instead of relying on stealthy design or RAM or RAD, the Athena System uses a completely new, active feedback system. The craft to be outfitted is covered in millions of tiny receptor antennae, which log any incoming radar waves. The Supercomputer calculates the incoming vectors, and uses the antennae to fire back a refractive pulse, shattering the return signature and resulting in a slew of bad data. missiles tracking with radar seeking heads will lose lock and detonate, and search radar will be scrambled.
The Athena System can be outfitted on any craft of sufficient size to hold the computer core, be it land, sea, air, or space. However, in order to be able to correctly analyze, identify, and scramble radar effectively, the computer will need a craft-specific software package, meaning that any craft seeking to utilize Athena will need to be programmed into the database through massive trials and testing for every angle of attack, and for various radar bands and powers.
