Simply By Circumstance
- Autoblaster cannon
- 2x Avenger Launchers
- Deflector shield - Necessary to protect the craft from the elements and small-arms fire.
- AIL-02 ECM Suite | Overseer Suite - A military-grade ECM suite that serves to jam communications, and sensors, and protect friendly communications.
- AIL-97 CRD | Shroud Device - A cloaking and camouflage device that allows the walker to appear and act near invisible.
- Signal Interceptor - A device used to intercept and eavesdrop on encrypted communications.
- K64 Targeting System - Integrated for grenade launchers to lock onto vehicle signatures
- Climate control unit - To ensure the comfort of everyone in the walker, a climate control unit is installed to manage the HVAC system to set it to the desired temperature depending on the climate.
- De-icing system - If the walker freezes, a de-icing system is installed to thaw it.
- Encrypted communications system - Installed in the cockpit for the driver and technician to receive communication transmissions.
- Internal fire suppression system - In case a fire breaks in the cockpit, extinguishers can prevent small fires in the walker.
- Self-destruct sequence - In case the walker needs to be abandoned, a self-destruct sequence is onboard the walker to prevent hostiles from gaining access to the walker's technology.
- Two is better than one - With two seats, the GA-SRW requires the driver to also multitask as a gunner while the technician runs the stealth systems and ECM suite.
- Retractable legs - The walker can bend its legs down to ground level, allowing easy access in and out of the walker. It also makes them compact to fit in a gunship's cargo compartment.
- Consumables compartment - In case of long missions, the walker has a compartment in the cockpit for a week's worth of rations.
- Now you see me - With state of the art camouflage and cloaking technology, the GA-SRW can disguise itself to blend into its surroundings, dampen the sound of the internal systems, and appear invisible to sensors.
- All terrain - As an all terrain walker, the Raptor can climb up steep heights and walk across uneven terrain.
- Nimble and quick - The raptor can maneuver around enemy infantry to get the drop on them, or evade the enemy when overwhelmed.
- Lines tapped - The Raptor can decrypt hostile communications with ease and even block communications with jamming technology.
- EMP Weakness - An EMP blast could make the entire walker inoperable.
- Comm Blocked - The Raptor can't crack encrypted comms if the system as a countermeasure in place to block the decryption.
- Power requirements - With a combined cloaking and camouflage device as well as an electronic warfare suite, the power output for the Raptor is a lot higher than a standard light walker. The walker shouldn't be used for a certain duration or else it would lead to a power overload. This is only true when the shroud and the overseer are used simultaneously for an extended period of time.
- Why is this tree metal? - Nothing can stop someone from bumping into the walker itself while its camouflaged which could immediately raise suspicion amongst anyone who does so.
With the GADF expanding it's conventional military capabilities, AIL had been working with GA military research personnel on how to expand the GA's unconventional and asymmetric capabilities. With lessons from the prowler project, AIL designed the Raptor to be used on more covert missions instead of simply support for a main army. Raptors can be used to provide heavy firepower and support for infiltration, raids, and subterfuge deep into enemy territory.
The walker is meant to be driven by infantry as it is meant to navigate the field quicker as opposed to being on foot. It's meant to supplement a special forces soldier's capabilities. Thus, training to operate a Raptor requires prerequisite experience as a commando or equivalent to make full use of the Raptor's capabilities. Not just from a technical standpoint, but from a theoretical perspective and apply it to GA unconventional military doctrine.
