Real Life equivalent of scattering MP?

The US Navy has recently tested a new anti-ship missile countermeasure system using an obscurant generator prototype. The systems and tactics were tested under a variety of at-sea conditions using assets from the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force to evaluate how radar-absorbing, carbon-fiber clouds can prevent a missile from detecting and striking its target as part of a layered defense.

The Naval Warfare Development Command tested the maritime obscurant generator prototypes June 21-25 to assess their tactical effectiveness for anti-ship missile defense. The shipboard device generates carbon-fiber particles suspended in a cloud of smoke. These particles absorb and diffuse radar waves emanating from the seekers of incoming missiles, thus potentially obscuring the target from the missile’s seeker.

Sounds like we don't need Minovsky Particles to achieve radar bending and missile blinding technology of UC era. it doesn't fried electronics tho. 8)

Re: Real Life equivalent of scattering MP?

Certainly gives the phrase "At Combat Density" a whole new meaning.

Then again, there'll probably be a counter-countermeasure in the form of a missile that "smells" its way to the target via the smoke, given enough time.
