| '''Hyperscanners''' are an advanced type of sensor system developed by the [[Forerunners]] and typically mounted on [[Covenant]] warships. They are capable of providing extremely-detailed information on any object in range, including internal scans and structural composition. Unfortunately, the sheer volume of data available overwhelm the Covenant crews, and as a result their workstations typically filter anything not of immediate tactical significance.{{Ref/Book|Id=WF18|HWF|Page=18}} Hyperscanner technology was employed by the [[Sangheili]] and equipped on their older [[Vestige]] warships such as the {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner}}; even these antiquated designs are considered superior to most [[human]]-developed sensor technologies, though more modern [[Covenant starship]]s are capable of easily avoiding their detection.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=78}} The {{Pattern|Mutan Et|storm cutter}} employs more modern hyperscanner technologies.{{Ref/Reuse|WF18}} The [[sensor vane]]s of various Covenant ship classes may serve as a part of their respective vessels' hyperscanner systems. | | '''Hyperscanners''' are an advanced type of sensor system typically mounted on [[Covenant]] warships.

| Close to the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Forerunner hyperscanner systems captured by the UNSC were moved to the [[Kelvin Research Station]] at [[Pluto]] for research and analysis.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=41}} The fruits of these labours would reveal themselves in the form of the {{Class|Winter|prowler}}, whose naval architects had access to the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s most cutting-edge technologies and were able to integrate a hyperscanner array into the class,{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=47}} which entered service in [[2549]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=129}} A long-ranged hyperscanner, alongside a [[Luminary]], was later integrated into the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}},{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=42}} launched in [[2553]],{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=125}} and the {{Class|Autumn|heavy cruiser}} in [[2554]].{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=26}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=118}}
| | After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the {{Class|Autumn|heavy cruiser}} featured a Hyperscanner detector as part of its standard sensor package.<ref name="Warfleet2">''Halo: Warfleet'', pg. 26</ref> |

| Within [[Firebase|ground installations]], hyperscanner technology has been incorporated into the UNSC's [[Watchtower]]s.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Watchtower}}
