#REDIRECT [[Electromagnetic Masking]]
[[EMM]] is an acronym for ElectroMagnetic Masking.
 
* It is a countermeasure against [[Sensor]]s.
 
* It is a type of [[Ship Equipment]]
 
 
 
== Description / Specifications ==
 
An electromagnetic masking package reduces a [[ship]]s or [[vehicle]]s electromagnetic emissions and its sensor signature in all bands, thus making it harder to detect using both active and passive sensors.
 
 
 
It may be referred to as "Stealth Technology".
 
* The EMM package is applied across the whole of the [[hull]] and may include features such as camouflage patterns (to counter optical sensors such as [[binoculars]]), angled surfaces, energy absorbent materials, prismatic or [[reflec]] surfaces, physical masking and shielding, and cooling systems.
 
* It is a passive system.
 
 
 
== History & Background / Dossier ==
 
EMM is an evolutionary design and is available from very early tech levels. Aspects of EMM are added to the package as new designs of [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor]] become available.
