Carbon fiber clouds hiding naval destroyers from anti-ship missiles:

"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."

Smoke screens; not just for visual concealment anymore!
