Active-Camouflage Reflector Core

This handheld-size unit is capable of instantly analyzing an entire object or person that it is hooked up to, and using transparent reflective light technology to render the object or person totally invisible and see-through. The cloaking mechanism is a massive breakthrough in technological science supported with the discovery of Nrixus magic. However, the unit itself is very expensive and difficult to make, and is still not yet adjusted enough for sanctioned use for field-testing due to a number of technical problems causing the cloaking device to have many failures.

  The cloaking unit is powered by Nrixus magic, and designed by Pharacorp to cloak any object or person by. However, there are many existing problems with functionality, listed from lowest to highest priority. The lowest priority problem is a phenomena of nature that cannot be fixed; the variable movement effect. This effect enables both human eyes as well as cameras with the ability to notice the small but significant enough diffraction or minor redirection of light centered around the cloaked object, which means this object - while in motion, or while looked at by a sensor in motion can detect the presence of the cloaked object with minimal detail. This still however provides better than expected results for the potential of having a cloaked army.

  The larger priority issues of the cloaking unit are that of power problems, including an overloading issue to the central quantum processor, as the internal components struggle to maintain a full level of cloaking, becoming more difficult with elapsed time and a larger size to a cloaked object proportionately. The cloaking unit works better and lasts longer on objects of smaller size and connected ordinance, even more if the unit can somehow be plugged into a small electronic device for instant connections and instant scanning. The current estimated time to cloaking failure on a single human individual has been specified to be about four seconds at best.

  Much of these problems are related both to a low-power storage capacity, high-energy depletion during activation, and the mechanics of object tracking during connected external movement, meaning objects at rest will be cloaked for longer while objects in motion will be cloaked for shorter periods. For this reason, the cloaking unit is in severe need of further development and research, and its installment to the R1-XT1 Airship has therefore been postponed.
Access & Availability
Currently unavailable to Terracom, as it is in development with only two functioning prototypes by Pharacorp.
