Passive Cloaking

The objective of cloaking is to make the object being cloaked as invisible as possible. To that end, passive cloaking replicates the surroundings such that what is behind the object or person, relative to an outside observer, is essentially projected in front of the object being cloaked, usually on the object’s surface, by means of a specialized coating or similar. Experimental craft being developed by the Research & Development department incorporate liquid crystal skins, which can then be tied into the sensor array to sample the environment and replicate it on the craft’s skin.
