SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Electronic Warfare - A comprehensive suite of electronic warfare systems, the ECM array can be harnessed to dazzling effect in virtually any given battlespace, confusing missile tracking systems, jamming enemy sensors, disrupting communications and targeting systems, and more. In effect, judicious application of these systems can make the host unit an extreme menace to enemy units.
  • Anti-Radiation - The energy bafflers can counter radiation homing and “home-on-jam” technologies by expanding and scattering the energy signature.
WEAKNESSES
  • Broadband Transmissions - While the 29L makes it extremely difficult to pinpoint the host unit’s exact location when its ECM systems are active, the mere presence of jamming is a telltale sign that an enemy unit is active in the area. In practice, while these systems work to obscure the host’s exact position, they simultaneously announce its presence to enemy forces, thereby setting them on high alert due to the false signatures and broadband transmissions created by the jamming systems.
  • Surge - While the the FAE/S-05’s robustness ultimately relies on the host unit’s defenses, EMP/Ion-based assaults can potentially disable or diminish the array to varying degrees, depending on the power quotient, proximity of the initial discharge to the host vehicle, along with a multitude of other factors.
  • My Friends Are Blind - While to a lesser degree, the jamming systems may also hamper communications and sensor performance among friendly units, more so in the event that they lack cooperative engagement capabilities or technologies capable of compensating for the interference.
DESCRIPTION
Another system designed by First United Astral Engineering to refit its fleet of vehicle, small craft, and larger starships, the FAE/S-05 ECM Array deals in electronic warfare and electronic countermeasures, designed to provide the operator with a plethora of electronic systems for a variety of situations, from jamming enemy communications, interfering with enemy targeting systems, and yet more. While capable in these functions, when used indiscriminately, the FAE/S-05 can set enemy units on alert when they might otherwise be unaware of the host vehicle’s presence. The jamming systems also hamper communications and sensor performance in friendly units, more so if they lack cooperative engagement technologies. Nevertheless, the FAE/S-05 ECM Array is hoped to represent a new-generation of technologies for First United Astral Engineering and the designers remain optimistic for its performance in the field.
