What set were you using? I understand the Aegis set doesn't have
such problems. Even so, radars are getting better and better and there
are other sensors, such as ladar, sound ranging, etc. How easily can the
aircraft hide from SQUIDs tuned to a particular coded signature in the
box? Sensor holes in satellite look-down radar/laser sets are pretty
minimal, by the way. And remember the technology has advanced.

You probably didn't read my message carefully; I said nothing
about "camera lens assemblies". I specifically mentioned an array of
fiber-optic cables with processing to make a "synthetic aperture" system.
How are you going to spray over the entire inside surface? Is your paint
IR-reflecting as well?
The idea, briefly, is to have thousands of microscopic
fiber-optic cables scattered over your surface and then collate the
disparate images into a meaningful whole. Chewing gum won't do it.

Tommorrow's corp-owned wageslaves probably won't.
