ruthenium coated panzer. The way I work it is that even the best imaging
scanners can
NOT(damn editor...) reproduce a background moving by at over 600km/hour. Sorry,but not a
prayer. So she programs it to generate a color scheme that blends
in pretty well with the background, like black/dark grey at night, where she
does most of her work. This won't do a whole heck of a lot against sensors withradar or
thermal or anything similar, but it keeps those optical targeters from
hitting you 99% of the time. And when she grounds it, she runs it as normal,
for the optimal camo(after she parks it in trees, heavy underbrush, etc).
As to power packs, I figure that the polymers can run off of engine power if
the car is moving, but if you want to maintain those lovely paint jobs when it'soff, you
better have a trunk full of batteries.
