- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: RSM-4 Mounted Scanner System
- Modularity: None
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material:
- Four-Sensor Sequence: The RSM-4 is equipped with four types of object detection and identification systems - radar, thermal imagers, ultrasonic scanners, and radiation sensors. Each can be activated separately from the others or all five can be activated at once for an extremely thorough scan.
- Dual Panels: The four-sensor sequence is emitted through a pair of titanium panels, each of which contain have nine reflective flaps that can be opened or closed to change the width and focus of the area being scanned by the five sensors. Additionally, the dual panels themselves can spin a full 360 degrees for larger, broader adjustments.
- Broad Scan: The reflective flaps on each panel are all opened to their fullest extent, allowing for a full 180 degree scan in a ten kilometer radius around the RSM-4: an increased scan radius at the cost of scan distance.
- Narrow Scan: The reflective flaps on each panel automatically shift to concentrate on a single object or closely gathered group of objects, allowing for a scan range of up to 1000 km at the cost of a significantly reduced scan radius.
- Console Link: When installed in a ship, the RSM-4 can be connected either via wires or wirelessly to a ship’s console, giving pilots and crew a live feed of scan results as well as access to the scanner’s index of ships and spacefaring organisms.
- Advanced Recon: The main and most obvious perk of the RSM-4 Mounter Scanner System is that it allows ships become effective reconnaissance craft that can report back threats with great detail from a safe distance.
- Pokédex: The RSM-4 has stored within its databank a physical profile of every publicly known starship in the galaxy as well as biological details of spaceborne creatures such as and mynocks and purrgils.
- Energy Hog: The RSM-4 consumes a large amount of energy, necessitating moderate sacrifices to weapons, shields, or engine power for any ship smaller than a frigate that equips it.
- Fine-Tuned: Long-distance scanning requires the utmost precision, and even slight damage to the RSM-5’s panels or reflective flaps can dramatically reduce its scanning range.
The AISI RSM-4 is a modern, military-grade scanner system consisting of four different sensor types.
Recognizing that their main institutional customers, the Imperial Confederation and the Diarchy, lacked significant investments in reconnaissance technology, the executives of Alge Imperial Shipyards decided to develop such technology in anticipation of future demand. AISI’s R&D department took only a few weeks to perfect existing sensor and radar technology by combining it in a single concentrated suite, greatly improving efficiency while minimizing excessive energy demand.
In its intended role, the RSM-4 functions as the primary sensor suite for small reconnaissance or patrol craft.
