Residual Trace Dampener / RTD
sc-052 [Acoustic Ghost Protocol]
A comprehensive signature-reduction suite designed for deep infiltration and fire-support units. By actively suppressing acoustic emissions and thermal leakage, it creates a "Location Lag" effect—forcing enemy sensors to process a phantom trace while the actual unit has already repositioned. At standard audio gain levels, the unit becomes virtually undetectable to the human ear.
- Acoustic Emission: -75% (All Movement)
- Radar Info Delay: 0.5s - 1.0s Lag
- ASL Tracking Area: -5% Shrinkage
- Lock-on Speed: 5% Deceleration
Tactical Deception: The Ghost Pulse
Operating on principles of electronic desynchronization, sc-052 decouples the unit's visual presence from its digital signature. Enemy fire-control systems (FCS) struggle to compensate for the "Residual Trace," leading to significant tracking failures during high-speed maneuvers.
Operational Note
⚠️ System Integrity: The observed radar desync and near-total silence are intended effects of the Acoustic Ghost Protocol. These phenomena are not hardware malfunctions or network instability, but the successful manifestation of tactical stealth.
