Active Camouflage
T-3 Refraction Dissonance Modifier/Camouflage
Manufacturer: Merchants of Qikost
Usage: Armor Optimization
Length: 2.5in (6.3cm)
Width: 12.1in (30.6cm)
Height: 4.4in (11.3cm)
Summary
Active Camouflage is a refraction dissonance modifier that can bend light around the surface of an individual or structure. It was deemed an essential alien technology early on during the Human-Covenant War, and extensively researched by ONI. Over the course of the conflict, it was wielded impressively by many Sangheili—usually those found in Special Operations or Zealot classes. However, ONI’s breakthroughs here have led to ad hoc compatibility with particular armor and BDU types, the most prominent and notable being that of Mjolnir, as worn by Spartans. When Active Camouflage is equipped, a soldier can effectively pass through an area undetectable save for a slight refractive shimmer while mobile.
History
The Sangheili and the San’Shyuum experimented with various active camouflage systems even before the Writ of Union pooled their knowledge of sensor masking and optical camouflage techniques. While active camo devices eventually incorporated some reverse engineering of Forerunner technology, Covenant devices represent a distinct branch of “baffler” systems.
Artemis Tracking System
VISR Extension
Manufacturer: Ohana Prescient Systems
Usage: Situational Awareness
Firmware Revision: 0.7
Summary
The Artemis Tracking System, or ATS, is an advanced scanning system currently under development for use by Spartan soldiers and ONI operatives. In its current - and unfinished - version, the Artemis highlights enemies and scans the surrounding area for technological artifacts known to be of tactical utility (such as weapon storage crates) or of interest to intelligence analysts.
Provisional access to the ATS has been granted to specific operatives with the permission of Spartan Commander Palmer to aid in the search for missing UNSC assets. Though ONI technicians have approved it for field testing, various bugs and defects limit system functionality outside of a narrow range of approved Mjolnir integrations.
