Additional communications, sensors, scanners, targeting and tracking systems may be added on to the system. The system can also interface with a number of other vehicle systems such as active protection systems, electronic warfare suites and the like.

SPECIAL FEATURES​

• Data-sharing: Naturally the Jai'galaar Sur'haai can share all data via the 'Manda' battlenet or any other battlenet patched to function with the 'Manda' style data-sharing and processing, but it is also capable of establishing a local area network between other Jai'galaar Sur'haai or similar, compatible systems.
  
  • Feed Sharing: The composite fused sensor feed can be shared either via battlenet or local area network. Other data streams can also be shared.
  • Targeting: Targeting data is shared and overlaid on connected systems typically as 'lines' showing the approximated trajectory of the weapon system. The estimated damage on target and area of effect (if applicable) is also overlaid on the user's display.
  • Navigational Data: Navigational data including but not limited to multiple versions of planned routes, points of interest, targets, objectives and the like can be shared between users.
• Data Fusion: The system compares and correlates the data coming in from the myriad systems, showing the operator the combined picture from the various systems to reduce errors and outliers as much as is possible. This also allows accurate tracking, target identification and for clear vision through thick cloud cover, storms and heavy rain, fog, as well as other conditions that might otherwise impair targeting, tracking and vision to a severe degree. This also means the effect of ion storms, nebulae and similar phenomenon on the system is greatly reduced, though still notably present.
  
  • Sensors:
    
    • Retractable Tri-Electrotelescope Array(s): These arrays are typically set with one of the Electrotelescopes set in focused scan mode and the other two set to general scan mode. The arrays are mounted in gimbals or turrets depending on what there is space for but in general provide full coverage around the craft. These arrays have the resolution to pick out minute terrain details such as trees on a planetary body.
    • Full-spectrum transceiver Array(s)
    • Dedicated Energy Receptor Array(s): The array is capable of finding and computing targeting solutions for the "weak spots" in a target's shield by tracking down anomalies and fluctuations in the shield.
    • LIDAR
    • Long-range Mass-detector
    • Aural Sensor Array
    • Spy Ray (only fitted on ships larger than 20m at minimum)
    • Audio Sensor Array with Aural Amplifier and Sonic Dampener.
    • Magnaband Scope Array(s) (Combined Output)

  • AutoMapping: Planetary and space based maps are automatically generated and updated by the system as it processes sensor data from relevant systems. If there is existing data, the system checks it first and only stores any notable discrepancies.
  • Navigational Sensor
• Utility Systems:
  
  • Collision Avoidance System
  • Reprogrammable Signal Receiver
  • Sensors:
    • Atmosphere Sensor

• Power:
  
  • Backup Cryogenic Capacitor Array (provides approximately 12 hours of use on a full charge)

STRENGTHS​

• Comprehensive Sensor and Scanner Suite: The sheer number and variety of sensors available gives the craft the suite is mounted on excellent detection capabilities
• Jamming Resistant: The system's data fusion prevents interference generated by jamming or other electronic warfare suites from overwhelming the system, with only extremely heavy electronic warfare being able to cause any real issues to the system.
• Lock on Jam: The system has the capability to triangulate jamming signals and develop a firing solution for the source, enabling ships equipped with the system to deal with enemy electronic warfare ships rather than be largely defenseless against such capabilities.
• Advanced Targeting and Tracking Systems: The advanced targeting systems enable the suite to maintain a target lock and track a variety of targets under a variety of ordinarily problematic battlefield conditions.
• Compatibility: The Jai'galaar Sur'haai-M is compatible with both the Sragivagr and the Manda, allowing for better pilot awareness and further improved targeting respectively.
• EMP/Ion Resistance: With a combat de-ionizer, Agrinium mesh and reinforced Duraplast plating, the entire system is highly resistant against EMP/Ion weapons.
• Long Range: The sensor suite has long range detection and target acquisition capabilities, giving the platform it is mounted on a decided advantage in that regard.

WEAKNESSES​

• Manda Offline: When connected to a the Manda tactical battlenet module on a ship, should said module go offline, the system will take considerable time to switch to its default mode, which is to directly connect to the ship's displays. This sort of delay is usually a death sentence to the crew of any ship.
• EMP/Ion: Should the system actually sustain any EMP/Ion damage, it would likely shut down and have to undergo a lengthy restart process, leaving the ship it is mounted on entirely blind until it does so.
• Heavy Jamming/ECM: Powerful, focused jamming can take longer for the system to triangulate and develop a firing solution for, which is far from ideal under battlefield conditions.

DESCRIPTION​

​

"Situational awareness is the difference between life and death."​

- Fleet Admiral Nyles Kote to a batch of Strill Securities naval officer candidates.​

​

A second modernization that was conducted right about the time the company received a request for a modified version of the old Jai'galaar Surhaai. Taking advantage of new revolutionary data processing algorithms, the company decided to make the improvements to their version prior to using the new improved system as the basis for the customer's ( Tertius C. Nargath ) modified version. The new upgrades were mostly software upgrades and so were rolled out in two phases to company ships, the first consisting of a software patch uploaded to company servers and then downloaded by crews prior to arriving at company facilities for the hardware installation that was carried out in phase 2 at their own pace.​

​

The modernized system like the previous version uses data fusion of multiple sensor and scanner systems to create a composite sensor picture that is largely unaffected by enemy electronic countermeasures, jamming, environmental factors and the like. This has the side effect of being very resistant to Mechu Deru as the force user would have to affect a majority of the host platform's sensor and scanner systems before any real degradation in combined sensor picture is noticed. The system has a staggering array of long-range sensors and scanners which grant it a decided advantage in being able to potentially detect threats well before they're in weapons range so those operating its mounting platform are unlikely to be taken by surprise.​

​

The Jai'galaar Surhaai-M like its predecessor also boasts long-range targeting and tracking capabilities. These enable the host platform to engage targets out to the maximum range of even particularly long-ranged weapons. The modernized system also retains the ability to triangulate jamming sources and develop a targeting solution for the source of said jamming. This process could take long, however, if there were multiple sources of interference directed at the ship. Compatibility with the Manda module does mitigate this issue due to the 'fresh' data from other ships on the net but does not eliminate it. Additionally, the new system adds on the capability to find and compute targeting solutions for the "weak spots" in a target's shield by tracking down anomalies and fluctuations in the shield.​

​

Unfortunately system retains all the flaws of the previous iteration. For example, when connected to a the Manda tactical battlenet module on a ship, should said module go offline, the system will take considerable time to switch to using its probability projection computer and to directly output to the ship's displays. This sort of delay is usually a death sentence to the crew of any ship. Additionally, powerful, focused jamming can take longer for the system to triangulate and develop a firing solution for, which is far from ideal under battlefield conditions. Finally, should the system actually sustain any EMP/Ion damage, it would likely shut down and have to undergo a lengthy restart process, leaving the ship it is mounted on entirely blind until it does so.​
