Gap generator (Red Alert 2)

The Gap generator was a radar jamming device that was originally used in World War II but made a reappearance in the following war, Great World War III. It was created by Albert Einstein to give the Allied forces a tactical advantage in reconnaisance and information warfare, and it served both these purposes admirably during the conflict.

Pre-GWWIII
The Gap generator was one of the many genius inventions provided by Einstein that helped the struggling European Allies overcome their Soviet opposition during the Second World War. It's ability to disrupt radar signals and provide "dark sectors" for the Allied military was a godsend on more then one occassion, allowing Allied bases to spring up undetected with littile fear of surveillance. Along with the chronosphere, the Gap generator stood as solid proof that without Einstein the Western hemisphere would likely be bowing to Stalin's whim.

After the war ended, the Gap generator saw limited use near Allied bases, mostly serving as a deterrent for any sneaky ideas post-war Russia might be leaning towards. It changed little during this time period, with most alterations coensiding with small advancements in radar tech.

Great World War III
With the outbreak of the Third World War, America scrambled for any advantage they could get over the Soviet invaders, including assistance from the European nations. With Einstein once again providing his brilliant mind for the western half of the iron curtain, many of his older creations saw a modernized return in the new Allied military; among these inventions was the Gap generator. The device had changed remarkably little since it's WWII inception; other then it's ability to jam modern radar signals, it was virtually the same as it had always been. This was both a good and bad thing as the generator was just as potent as ever, but at the same time it still suffered from the same energy consumption needs of the previous conflict. It saw use in both the American and European theaters of the war.

Great World War III (Second Iteration)
After Allied time travel rebooted the Third World War, the Gap generator once again saw itself on the battlefield. This time, it appeared with several new modifications that allowed it to "bend" psychic radar around itself, making it just as effective against Yuri's unusual radar technology as it had always been against conventional radar. Unfortunately the modifications were not perfect; the overwhelming psychokinetic power of a "psychic reveal" was enough to temporarilly overwhelm the generators processors, revealing anything it hid for a few seconds.
