I've had to re-call from the Liner diplomatic meetings in Alpha and have it brought back to Schatten, current modifications are in line for the next batch of experimental equipment. I've had the Rector lined up for every installation date but the Director keeps holding it back saying that the design needs to be "perfected." I honestly think that as head of Scientific departments, we can't perfect the design without prototypes, we can try, but like he said, Praxis is different to paper.
OPTRA (Omni-Purpose Transceiver and Radar Array)
Thanks to the Lane Hackers. A prototype Multi-purpose Radar system was installed, albeit a little bit scary, I've had to take a crash course into the software they've hooked into the server, and recently with the improvements of Zeal's condition, shes insisted she take over the programming and familiarity of the software. We've had to also design and install a fully functional array of compatible hardware within the Metastability, this separate unit communicates with the rest of the Supercomputer structure when it comes to environment, combat and data simulations; When it comes to the amount of powered required to use this system, its not what i expected. The Hackers do seem to know what it comes to with energy efficiency, although it still does seem to hit an absolutely enormous amount when it comes to using it but its still within the reactors limits, it just seems to get hotter than usual.
Thankfully there are multiple frequency bands this can operate on for its multi role purpose, ranging from ultra long range detection on a Ultra High Frequency band used for system wide mapping and scanning of large solars and strong energy sources, its not so good on objects smaller than a planetoid or emit low energy readings; reasons due to this is the multi-band frequencies emitted from solars within the systems that cause anything small to either be missed or completely undetected within its scanning band at long range. L and S Band is also supported as standard when it comes to object detection in closer ranges, communication and data transmitting, although they have some nice features. Once certain frequencies and bands are detected, the communication system then sends those to Laser arrays mounted separate to the RF system. The RF system is also subtle and obvious jamming systems from white noise generators and modulated carrier transmissions that clog up the entire frequencies that its transmitted across to all receivers. The only possible way this can be traced is through triangulation, which would require 3 or more transceivers or receivers; at this point either another intervention action should be taken.
Thanks to the high powered and multi-purpose array and frequency generators and just the sheer strength of the amount of data that can be transmitting can be overwhelming. Its like having then entirety of a city provinces neural net access speed combined. This thing can transmit up to 2.4 Peta-bits of information and/or data to accessed networks and frequencies. Fortunately the only ones who can receive and manage that amount of data are the arrays on Shattens networking center. I don't think I'll be attacking that anytime soon though.
With an high powered, modular frequency transmitter using laser arrays (250 separate VLC laser transmission diodes), we can focus this data transmission on varying strength by setting the system to determine how many lasers are used within VLC systems on other when transmitting information to ensure we're not trying to force the receivers such as small ships to obtain 2.4 petabytes while the average fighter can only receive about 22~ Gigabits/second while your average transport or commercial stations and large vessel can receive around 260 Gigabits/second while large military vessels can receive up to around 1.2 petabits/second at peak. Changing the amount from the transmission diodes used greatly affects the receiver, too much and the data (if not already) would become garbled and messed up due to sections not picked up by the receiver making it completely useless. Although I have found use in this method, by detecting what channel is used by a target vessel, the transmitter then sends a recurring handshake loop at such an astonishing rate, the packets almost total up to 270 Terrabytes of packets every second, virtually jamming the transceiver channel completely, stopping any data going to and from the target except for OPTRA (Which we still have room for other transmissions if all our channels aren't taken up by the operation.
Quote: With the equipment that was provided, it seems that this is something of another level. I'll be quite honest, all we can get off this thing is that its Lane hacker tech. As much as I'd love to poke at every transistor and circuit board I'd fear that I might damage it. Best I can do is actually getting it to work at full efficiency when the cloaking system and electronic systems are activated. We're going to desperately need the Reactor sooner than I wanted if we're going to need to run more things at once because I'm pushing the boundaries on what I'm able to run at once, if we hit peak load on the Metastablility with everything else, we'll probably stall the entire vessel. Now if I could find a way to transmit Drum and Bass onto every secure communications network in a region with this thing, then that would be great.
