Optical Scope - These come in a variety of flavors, including laser-guided green. Increases the range of a pistol or rifle by one category (such as from MEDIUM to LONG or from LONG to EXTREME), but can only be used for aimed shots. Tiny item.

Binoculars - Gives a +2 modification to OBSERVATION at LONG range or more when scouting actively (not passive awareness).

M314 Motion Tracker - A motion-scanning device, the M314 uses high-powered ultrasonic waves to detect movement within its sensor range (EXTREME range in open terrain, LONG range in close quarters). Originally designed for rescue teams searching for civilians trapped in cave-ins and collapsed buildings, the tracker soon found use by the military fighting guerilla forces in extrasolar environments that made infrared impractical. You need to make a Power Supply roll after every use. Its battery has a Power Supply level of 5 when fully charged.

M316 Motion Tracker - The drawback to the M314 is its size and weight—you can't fire your weapon and operate the tracker at the same time. An experimental pulse rifle mounted upgrade— the M316—is currently being field tested. The good news? It is compact, lightweight and easy to glance at in a firefight. Of course, with good news always comes bad. While the M316 operates about the same as the M314, it has a much more limited range—LONG outdoors and MEDIUM indoors. Your results may vary, but that’s what you grunts are for—cannon fodder to help the big corporations figure out how to perfect their new toys. Power Supply level 3 when fully charged.

Head-Mounted Sight - Syncs with smart gun or robot sentry technology to help an operator focus on and choose targets.

Neuro Visor - A neuro visor is a helmet with a HUD visor that allows an operator to monitor and interface with the subconscious and dreams of a subject in stasis. A skilled user (requires a COMTECH roll) can also use a neurovisor to communicate with the hyper sleeping subject, and an advanced user can use one to manipulate one’s dreams—so the next time you go into hypersleep, keep those dreams clean—your supervisor could be watching.

W-Y Parameter Uplink Spectrograph Mapping Device - Sometimes called “Pups,” these cost-prohibitive mapping devices have been in use for a good hundred years. Pups employ limited anti-gravity propulsion to float through, across, and over otherwise difficult to navigate terrain. As these orbs scout about, they constantly scan a 360-degree area around the device with mapping lasers. The Pups then send the spectrograph information back to a synced device, usually a starship or groundbased HoloTab or a monitoring station in a mobile command vehicle. They can also detect lifeforms, atmospheric conditions, toxins, and more. Pups were given their nickname because they emit a haunting, hound-like howling sound as they seek and scan. They can scan one zone per Round, and detect any enemies in zones they pass. Range EXTREME.

Seegson Microview-2000SE - A navigational map system used on space stations, the Microview 2000SE uses the device’s coordinates aboard the station to determine that “You are Here” at all times—wherever here is at the time.
