Covert cyno? 
Warp disrupter field generator.
Wonderfull: warp disrupter and webber and target painter all in one.
Oh, pirate suffer so much and CCP hate them. 
Well, Vaga pilots can retire the ship.
Perhaps the effects of this bubble are projected on the ship which deploys the bubble, instead of the ships inside it.
It makes sense for heavy interdictors, they will be deployed to catch capital ships, so you dont have to move fast. Obviously the effects are a massive downside, but the bubble cant be destroyed because its generated by a module instead of a probe, so doomsday devices or smartbombs cant destroy it.
It has range and not radius so that would seem it's a targetted module.
Much speculation so far...
Imo they should add covert ops 5 or recons 4-5 to the reqs for black ops instead of cloaking5, while also add command ships 4 as prereq for the marauders.
Sure it is a targetedd module, only oniplE think differently.
But indipendently if it can block a Jump, it will block a warp and slow to 10% the speed of a MWD ships and add 50% target size.
Energy cost is high, but I dubt you will need that module for much time, especially is you have multiple ship with it and it is not nerf stacked between different ships.
Actually, the name says "warp disruption field generator". Fields have dimensions, therefor its logical to assume its a bubble. It could be a cube or pyramid aswell, but i think im gonna stick with bubble for now.
As for "range" instead of "radius", dictor probes have a "range" aswell, so do mobile warp disruptors, none of them say "warp scramble radius"...
I strongly suspect that the sig radius and speed handicaps are applied to the ship using the module and not the ships caught within the radius of the disruption. In other words, while you are using it you are a big fat slow target.
