EMM
EMM is an acronym for Electromagnetic Masking.
- It is a countermeasure against Sensors.
- It is a type of Ship Equipment
Description / Specifications
An electromagnetic masking package reduces a ships electromagnetic emissions and its sensor signature in all bands, thus making it harder to detect using both active and passive sensors. The EMM package is applied across the whole of the ships hull and may include features such as camouflage patterns (to counter optical sensors), angled surfaces, energy absorbent materials, prismatic surfaces, masks 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 sensor become available.
