Many of the aforementioned standard features were first tested on the {{Class|Chiroptera|subprowler}}s in the 25th century, and would later go on to become standard features in successive ONI designs.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} However, Prowler designs deployed prior to the [[Human-Covenant War]] did not employ particularly effective [[active camouflage]] systems, and instead relied on the aforementioned passive methods to remain undetected. Future enhancements during the war and the successive reverse-engineering of [[Covenant]] and limited integration of [[Forerunner]] technology such as [[baffler]]s did allow for more active technologies to become standard by the late-war era and as of [[2558]], all prowlers employed some form of active hull camouflage technology.{{Ref/Reuse|HUProwler}}{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=190}}

These more active forms of hull stealth technology encompass a variety of methods; a common form of programmable optical hull camouflage is the [[texture buffer]], which serves to line the ship with the aforementioned photoreactive coating and allow the surface to take on similar colouration as objects behind it such as [[planet]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO32|GoO|Chapter=32}}{{Ref/Reuse|WF46}} However, even these texture buffer systems were crude in comparison to Covenant active camouflage, operating on a seemingly similar principle as the [[SPI armor]]'s [[photoreactive panel]]s. For example, the {{UNSCShip|Wink of an Eye}}'s stealth coating was fairly unstable, making the ship waver to and from visibility uncontrollably especially when exposed to rapidly changing backgrounds, such as the clouds of a gas giant.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Cole|Evo|The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
