Representing next-generation update to the Phase I “Spyglass” Sensor and Countermeasure Module, the FAE/S-16 “Spyglass” Aerospace Combat Sensor System Mk. II pushes First United Astral Engineering’s small craft sensor systems into the next era with the inclusion of a host of new systems. Most notable among these are low-probability-of-intercept (Ghost Sight) sensors, an electrotelescope target acquisition module, and upgraded environmental sensors.
Low-probability-of-intercept technologies in the new Spyglass allow for scanning with minimal risk of revealing the host craft’s position. While these systems do not hide the location of the craft itself, they make the use of scanners less risky and the emitted waves considerably more difficult to trace.
Next, the electrotelescope target acquisition module is designed for passive observation of space, terrain, and environments. However, it is also capable of being linked with the host platform’s weapon systems for passive targeting. Given the magnification, the system is ideal for sniping purposes. Provided the host platform has weapon systems with long range, the electrotelescope could be used to engage targets at standoff distances.
Finally, the upgraded environment sensor systems offer a boost in utility, making the Spyglass suitable for exploration missions as well.
All in all, the FAE/S-16 “Spyglass” Aerospace Combat Sensor System Mk. II is anticipated to see use as First United Astral Engineering continues updating its line of small craft for its various clients. The Spyglass is hoped to offer a decisive advantage over adversary systems, potentially pushing the company further in the galactic arms market.

- Ghost Sight - The Spyglass enhances virtually all of its sensors with ghostwaves, low feedback technologies, and low-probability-of-intercept measures. These systems make the emitted waves harder to trace and detect. While this does not conceal the host platform by itself, it makes it considerably more difficult for sensor warning receivers, EM sensors, counterdetectives, and similar systems to register when sensor or scanning pulses are being used.
- Clear Air - The FAE/S-16 can use its EM-sensitive sensors to home in on sources of jamming with more than enough precision to generate target locks provided the host craft comes is equipped with a similarly high-grade targeting system.
- High Definition - The Spyglass is a decidedly long-range, intelligent, high-resolution sensor suite, giving the platform a significant edge in detection capability over adversary sensor systems. It can deliver precise sensor solutions even in severely inclement conditions such as fog, blizzards, storms, and yet more, in addition to areas with extreme amounts of environmental clutter.
- Versatility - Possessing a number of sensors, the Spyglass is capable of instantaneously cross-referencing data from other sensor types, allowing it to filter out false-positive readings and to quickly analyze information from the environment which warrants further examination.
- Surface Damage - In the event that the host platform sustains damage to its exterior surface, the effectiveness of the passive reception array will be diminished due to the destruction of a number of micro-photoreceptors, potentially causing blind spots to arise.
- Excess Magnetism - If left unprotected, the Spyglass may be rendered vulnerable to EMP and Ion-based assaults, which can disrupt its functioning by overloading systems.
