Overview[]
The HSS-114D Hyper-Spectral Scanner (EO) is a combined electro-optical / active sensor array that detects target reflections across a continuous spectrum, and measures the spectral signature of targets against the expected spectral signature of the background area. Useful for detecting camouflaged or otherwise obscured targets, and suspected targets can be tested with the PAS-37Q System Search Sensor (Phased Array) in order to improve accuracy in high-threat environments.
It is used on various Systems Commonwealth ships, such as the Glorious Heritage Class vessel Andromeda Ascendant.
