An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Skipper carries high-explosive, nuclear, radiation, antiradiation or exotic warheads. Its most important characteristic is the ability to become invisible, by the means of a photon cloak which uses a linked array of 3 or more antigraviton emitters to route electromagnetic emissions (such as light) around it. The missile is not only invisible to the human eye (and all artificial electromagnetic sensors), but there is nor reflection or diffusion. For practical reasons, however, the Skipper can't remain perpetually invisible:

abstract	The Skipper carries high-explosive, nuclear, radiation, antiradiation or exotic warheads. Its most important characteristic is the ability to become invisible, by the means of a photon cloak which uses a linked array of 3 or more antigraviton emitters to route electromagnetic emissions (such as light) around it. The missile is not only invisible to the human eye (and all artificial electromagnetic sensors), but there is nor reflection or diffusion. For practical reasons, however, the Skipper can't remain perpetually invisible: * The cloak renders the Skipper invisible, but also it renders it blind. It must therefore decloak to update the target status (if it is a moving target) and correct its trajectory. * The cloak captures heat and radiation within, preventing it to dissipate. In order to prevent shield overload, it must decloak to vent out the dissipated energy. As a result, the Skipper becomes easily detected from distances up to hundreds thousand kms as blinking spots. Furthermore, the Skipper is a long-range stealth weapon, and therefore slow by ballistic standards, vulnerable to countermeasures and interception.
