V.
Sensory Systems:
Radar System:
- Hughes AN/APG-152 X-band pulse-Doppler radar, providing medium-range
detection and tracking of targets at all altitudes.
- Westinghouse AN/APX-16 IFF secondary surveillance transponder
Optical tracking:
- Phillips AN/DOS-3200 multi-band digital camera system, for medium range
traversable UV, infra-red imaging and optical band detection and tracking;
- Multiple spotlights for illumination.
Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS):
- Multiple VHF and UHF antennas
VI. Armament:
- None.
The pod is equipped with the following manipulators:
- 1
x rocket guided cable wench: Used for grappling objects of all sizes.
Total amount of cable, 1 km.
- 2 x high powered 180mm cannon: Used to fire grappling hooks,
explosive charges, or even occasionally live 180mm shells.
- 2 utility arms
VIII. Armor:
Full nuclear and chemical protection, immunity from hand fired solids and
energy beams, shrapnel and other fragments. This system is designed to enter
areas littered with debris that might be capable of piercing lesser armored
craft. Limited protection from heavier weaponry, adequate up to 20mm autocannon
shells or equivalent.
IX. Development:
