Months at the underground facility on Nuremberg working on the Ghost Veil program was mostly focused on this. How can we develop a skin for a spacecraft that makes almost virtually invisible to radar and artificial detection methods. The research took months,
the development and construction took a hell of a lot longer, but the panels are ready to be altered and mounted according to the final design.
At this point we can't call it the same ship anymore. This is no longer a "Shukensha" Class Renzu Liner. The ship class is as currently written down as a XU-001 Spectre-Class. And as a result Classification levels for the security of this research project have risen. Any access to information and details regarding this project will need to be approved by the Direktor.
Stealth Radar Absorbent Material panels.
One of the biggest problems we faced with constructing the Passive-RAM coatings was actually generating a smooth surface for it to be flat and secure both its absorbent and diffusion abilities. The problem was actually creating these epoxy panels and ensuring that air-holes were completely vacant from several layers, most of the panels we made had to be reworked or completely recycled, some scrapped due to catastrophic failures. Worst of all, every single panel will be custom cut, almost all aren't identical to one another because of the size and shape of the ship. But we've still conducted this is an experimental stealth ship, specifically conducted to maximize stealth potential to then extend gradually onto other space-craft, Possibly light cruisers, gunships, fighters and bombers.
But here we are, tens of thousands of panels ready for applications all over the Zealous rig. The current break down of the passive panels can be given to 2 main parts. The Carbon-Nanotube mesh on the bottom layer of the PSAT system which was probably one of the hardest to fabricate due to the varied density that they're required to have depending on the depth of their location on said panels. The Iron-Ball paint that is generally found on the middle and top layer that make up the majority of the PSAT panels.
Ghost Veil Project Documentation Shape diffraction
How standard ship detection works is still through a send-receive radar and detection of the surfaces that a ship's cross section picks up and it's inefficient angles reflect them back to source radar. What shape diffraction does is that when it hits irregular angles on a vessel, instead of being reflected back to the radar source, it almost breaks up into directions opposite of the radar; never to return to the source directly from the vessel. This gives an impression of there being almost something else of a completely different size on radar, modifying the current XU-001 into a more desirable shape towards a smaller cross-section, the vessel appears smaller than your average gunship with the use of shape diffraction on its own, it's efficient enough and for smaller vessels like fighters and gunships. low powered radar systems on smaller ships is all they can spare unless you come across the occasional lane hacker which should still have a difficult time trying to obtain a proper fix from a distance away.
Carbon-Nanotube mesh
Specialized carbon nanotube meshes are applied by constructing a weave mesh of carbon based atomic lattices, although this can vary on the density of the nanotube mesh, it can handle higher frequencies of EM signals. And since carbon nanotube structures are semiconductors, this would only allow the obtained EM energy that has impacted the network to continue into one direction, preferably towards the inside the ship and not return the data to the sender. Effectively denying any information to the target vessel. But since the density of the nanotubes are limited and can only become less dense that structural integrity in a negative pressured environment (Vacuum) would alter the network regardless due to decompression. The advantage that carbon nanotubes have is its structural strength compared to some metals, due to the strong structural atomic integrity and precision of said components, it may take many days just to procure a small 15M² block of nanotube mesh and would require huge amounts of extracted carbon or readily constructed nanotube lattices. To adapt to this, the most suitable method for this application is the underside of stealth material layers, being sandwiched between the bottom layers of the PSAT and above the battle-strengthened hull.
Iron-Ball paint
Although called a paint, this material is a form of solid construction tiles. Iron ball paint was one of the first stealth technologies used by any known human military. Although most considered it obsolete, it’s still seen its use in effectively lowering a ship's profile signature. Although we’ve seen it would be more effective at sealing loose energy signatures that come off the stealth ships own systems. How this technique is done is by having small iron balls coated in an isolative material suspended equally between and stacked on-top of each other by a thick epoxy resin paint to create a 3D network. How it reduces the radar signature is through the result of radar waves that create molecular oscillations from the magnetic field that the iron balls create within the tiles. This oscillation creates small amounts of heat, so the energy from radar waves has to transfer its energy heat rather than having that energy reflect back to the sender, essentially absorbing the scanner and radar detection energy. This heat energy is absorbed by the spacecraft structure by conductive materials and then dissipated internally to avoid IR detection methods.
Quote:I need to keep listening to music to keep my head sane at this point. I got a few drives with a ton of songs on from a DJ down on New Berlin on Sunday. Generally something that people would find unappealing that their Direktor is listening to some electronic house and drum & bass, but out of all honesty I have the lack of interest of their opinion to even care... I'm 25 and I'm building a stealth ship. I can do what the hell I want.
