The unidentified scanning device is a piece of equipment used to detect signal frequencies, specifically, weak signals with a short radius. In order for the scanning device to work, the operator must get close to be able to read any signals in the area.
Overview
The scanning device was utilized by the team of SPARTAN-IIs, consisting of John-117, Frederic-104, Solomon-069, Solomon-069, and Arthur-079 during the Raid on the Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence, using EVA Booster Frames. It was used to track the signal frequency of the package, but the Covenant commander of the fleet was able to fool the Booster Frame's sensors and make it appear as if there are multiple signals that lead to multiple traps, because the false signals are decoys, and that the Covenant knows what the SPARTANs had come for, and that the real signal is coming from the flagship.
Notes
Based upon the information available, the scanning device is probably deployed either aboard the Booster Frames, or deployed onto the hull of a target vessel, in this case, a CCS-class Battlecruiser. It can also inferred that the Covenant were able to fool these devices by possibly rigging an Antimatter Charge with a signal transmitter programmed to emulate the same frequency of Dr. Halsey, and the bomb itself programmed to detonate once the false signal is investigated.
