*Research development Proposal*
Given the photoelectric properties of Kranksytium, it has been theorized that an optical countermeasure system could built using it. hitherto, no practical application could be implimented due to the volitial and explosive properties of the material.
however, if the mixture is stabilized with decayed cesium isotope 137. due to the half-life of Ce^134(2 years), the countermeasure would only work for 1.5 years after production, but it is also good to know that this is a one time use object.

Concept/implimentation:
First use a ship with a cloaking devise or retroflective optical camoflague. coat the skin of the ship first with a layer of electro-plastoid. Then coat the electro-plastoid with Stablized Kranksytium. (thickness around 200-300 angstroms). Insert folds, and hinges where marked on the plans.


Use:
the Franksytium coats the electro-plastoid, which softens once an eletrical current is removed.
the layers applied to the ship are meant to be shed like a snake skin. the folds and hinges help.
the ship engages cloaking measures, before shedding the skin. the ion wake of the ship's engines as it clears the skin, activates the skin. the charged electrons activate the photoelectric effect of the kranksytium and 2 things happen:
1-electron transport chains produce a current in the electroplastoid, and it hardens again, into the exact shape of the craft it coated.
2-the Franksytium mimics the photon absorption and reflection of the uncloaked stealth craft and hence when the craft cloaks and sheds its skin it looks like the craft is still there.
The skin will continue on its original course, and the cloaked ship has 1 minute before the skin begin to de-charge and begins loosing its shape and color. if hit by significant energy weapon the skin will explode in a spectacular manner, possibly fooling the attacker, unless they do a wreckage analysis after the fact.
Drawback: because of its volitility, this might be difficult to produce, and if the ship is hit before it sheds its skin, the skin will explode.

specifications: would require varying amounts of stablized Kranksytium depending on the size of the ship. this is only recommended for small, highly manuverable ships less than 30 meters long.
