Ablative Stealth Coating / ASC
sc-083 DISPOSABLE OPTICAL CONCEALMENT LOGIC
A high-performance, single-use stealth solution that applies volatile optical particles to the unit's exterior. It grants total invisibility against both radar and visual observation, but at the cost of extreme structural and temporal fragility.
- Stealth Efficiency: Grade Level 3 + Full Transparency
- Operational Lifespan: 60 Seconds Max
- Critical Integrity: 5% of Initial HP (Cumulative)
- Recovery Logic: Irreversible / Non-Repairable
Logic: "Transient Invisibility"
While active, the unit remains completely undetectable. However, the coating is highly unstable. The system will permanently shut down if total damage exceeds 5% or if the 60-second limit is reached. Any offensive action temporarily reveals the unit, but the concealment will re-engage after a short delay if the coating remains intact.
Operational Risk Management
This system is designed to prevent passive "hit-and-run" tactics involving minor repairs. Since the threshold is based on initial sortie integrity, mid-battle repairs cannot extend the lifespan of the coating. Pilots are expected to complete the mission within the 60-second window without sustaining even minor grazing fire.
