IIRC the PSB is some kind of 'holographic distortion field' that breaks
up the ships shape - making it harder to lock on to (one assumes that
the Holofield affects a wide range of EM wavelengths and possibly some
other sensor systems as well).
I think its from a Warhammer 40k space battle derivative - Battle Fleet
Gothic or the other one.
