- Machine Meld: The RTS-11 provides an unparalleled integration of pilot and ship, allowing for faster and smoother target acquisition and combat.
- Headseeker: The Draugr is designed to analyze and identify structural weak points in a target and can strike them with pin-point accuracy. The system is also able to self-identify the best type of weaponry to be used in a situation.
- Sensor Dependent: The effectiveness of the RTS-11 is limited by sensor systems if it’s ship. Ships with inadequate or short range sensors will not be able to benefit fully from all the features of the Draugr.
- EWAR/Ion Countermeasures: Effective electronic and sensor countermeasures can reduce the effectiveness of the system, particularly target lock on.
Starfighter pilots have long been the subject of holodramas and legends, from the days of the ancient Galactic Civil War up to the modern era. Their dashing exploits are romanticized, but the experience of a pilot in the hectic fray of battle are often not properly conveyed.
The truth is being an effective starfighter pilot for so long has required lightning fast reflexes and a great deal of luck. But the RTS-11 Draugr Integrated Targeting System is designed to revolutionize a pilot’s capabilities at the cockpit. It is designed to usher in a newer and more advanced generation of starfighter combat, putting its users well-above the competition.
The Draugr is a full-integration system, meaning that it conforms to existing flight gear and helmet HUD. This is assisted by light-guided optical elements and sensors that can track a pilots head and ocular movements. The system’s display can also be customized by the pilot to conform effectively to their existing HUD. The Draugr features a helmet-targeting cue system that allows a pilot to lock on and engage a target simply by locking at them; their eye and helmet position identifies a target, and the targeting system does the rest, identifying weak points and appropriate munitions as well as considering mission parameters before engaging the indicated target. All of this is done in nanoseconds, much faster than any organic being can comprehend, making the effectiveness of a pilot with the targeting system almost unnatural.
Of course the Draugr is limited by its design, and although it’s full sensor integration allows for easier installation and overall ship design, inadequate sensor suites can limit the effectiveness of the targeting system. However if proper sensors are installed, and the system is well insulated from ion and EWAR sabotage, a pilot can remain confident in their targeting system’s capabilities.
The Draugr is not merely a new toy, but a revolution of the current starpilot’s abilities, and a gigantic leap ahead in naval and starfighter combat.
