Description[edit]
The Antares Series AS-17 C3ISR Satellite is a military surveillance satellite produced by Sorcerer Technologies of the Federated Suns. Part of a series of satellites built over time for AFFS and MIIO, the AS-17 C3ISR is designed for multiple roles: reconnaissance, command & control, communications, intelligence gathering, and surveillance. These satellites are designed to be quickly deployed and recovered. The AS-17 is meant to work with a constellation or group of same model satellite to give widespread coverage over a world.[2]
Much of the information on the AS-17 is classified, and many details regarding AS-17 operations remain objects of speculation and guesswork. It is believed that a select number of Antares are given to frontline RCTs; it is also considered likely that the MIIO and DMI can deploy a number of these satellites to support their operations.[2]
Equipment and Capabilities[edit]
The AS-17 features a satellite chassis protected by 2 tons of BAR 10 grade armor and a self-destruct mechanism intended to prevent its high-tech equipment from being captured. It is equipped with a powerful hyperspectral camera, which ignores the effects of mimetic armor, ECM, and standard camouflage. It also carries look-down radar, an infrared imager and high-res imager cameras. In addition the Antares mounts 10 tons of communication equipment, allowing the satellite to act as a powerful communications relay as well as providing some protection from exploitation by enemy units.[2]
Notes[edit]
- As of this writing, there is no published record sheet for the Antares Satellite.
