The following systems are, of course, vitally important for maintaining the suit's combat effectiveness and
coordination with its unit. All of the following systems must be placed in the head or torso of the power armor,
unless specifically excepted.
Up to 4 "1/4-space" items may be combined as a suite, taking one space on the Power Armor Data Form.
A suite uses the combined MDC of it's components. Some of these items are standard with the more advanced
Reality Interfaces. All visual options can be placed in sensory extentions, similar to the ones used in the Prowler
cyborg.
Commo Link: Standard Military radio. This is the same radio as is standard in the Glitterboy USA-G10, range
500mi. If the suits are bought in large numbers, (As to be used in a merc unit.), they will come with military
IFF transponders. 1/4-space Cellular Phone: A regular cell system, but with longer range (Can link into urban networks from a distance of
20mi) Does not work underground or through mountains without repeater stations. Scrambler: It is compatable with both previously mentioned systems, a scrambler allows coded communication
which can only be understood by another scrambler equipped suit that has the propper scrambler combination.
For an additional 5,000 credits, a scrambler can equiped with a processor that provides the correct combination
20% if the time, (or a +25% to the skill radio scramblers/cryptography),allowing listening in on intercepted
conversations. Laser Communication: This allows the PA suit to communicate within line of sight of other similarly equiped
PA units. It cannot be jammed but can be tapped, by stepping into the line of sight. Sonic Communications System: This is effectively a form of UW communications that utilizes short frequency
vibrations to communicate with other similarly equipped units. The only disadvantage to this system is that it
cannot be directional, and can be intercepted by anyone within the 50 mi range. Sensory Extentions: The equivalent power armor system to the system used in the prowler cyborg. These
antennae mount optics audio pickups which can poke around corners and transmit images to the pilot, without
exposing the entire suit. The suit must have at least wide band aperture interface to properly utilize these
extentions. Average length is 1 & 1/2' , External mount on arm, torso, or head space. Remote Targeting: This is a realtime link for use with a foreward observer. The observer must transmit his data
(Gathered by observation or electronic systems) via this link to the unit attempting indirect fire, or launching
indirect guided weapons. This provides a substantial bonus to accuracy. (+4 to strike) Anti Dazzle: Automated polarization. Low Light: Nightvision: 2,000' Infra Red: IRs: 2,000' Thermal Targeting: Thermograph: 2,000' Telescopic Optics: TOs: 6,000' Image Enhancement: IEs: 6,000' A/V Recorder: Like a multi media VCR, this recorder is fed through the primary senses of the troopers Power
Armor and can record up to six hours of data on a single 2 in Compact Disk Unit holds two disks. Radar: 10mi standard range. 50mi enhanced radar Sonar: Sonic Emitter/Detector systems gives the Power armor suit sonar, capable of detecting solid objects within
50mi. It can only be jammed through a huge amount of focused noise, such as an explosion. If sonar is not
actively searching, it can be used to listen in on specific noises via shotgun extention mike at 200mi! Magnetometer: Also known as a Magnetic Anomaly Detector, this unit detects large masses of metal within 300'
Not very usefull in urban situations, but a good way of detecting hidden vehicles or Power armor in rural terrain.
Magnetometers are excellent for detecting rail guns. The magnetic spike of a firing rail gun can be detected at 3x
the range of the weapon!! Laser Detector: This device is used to detect any and all targeting systems utilising a laser system. It can also be
used to identify the laser based weapon system striking the equiped vehicle, and the power level of the laser. Microwave Detector: This is basicly a radar detector, as most radar waves are microwaves. Most often this system
is used to detect guided missles, but can also pick up on vehicle based radar, and used as a tracking device has a
range of 20 miles. Unlike the Laser detector, the Microwave detector is vulnerable to microwave
based weapon systems, and will effectively be burned out if it is fired upon by such a weapon. Painting Laser Targetting System: This is basically as it sounds. A laser targeting system mounted upon a mini
turret that constantly keeps the prime target focased upon to allow the pilot a greater measure of accuracy.
