Tactical Visors

The technological acceeration has encouraged many new sub-features of heavy armaments and defensive military research. One recent result of such research has led Pharacorp to design a new Heads Up Display system within the electronic windshield of their various Airship designs. Stemming from the idea has also led to development of an advanced tactical helmet fitting the modified metal body armor for all Terracom soldiers. This helmet features a Tactical Visor, a unit which can be separated from the device, or installed as a direct internal attatchment.

The Tactical Visor uses intelligent computerized scanning software to light up any distant movement in the field, adding optical zoom functionality to the soldiers, and yeilding three different viewing modes for mutiple terrain situations, including high-contrast sight, night-vision, or thermal-vision. The integrated software can scan and tag a specific sign of life, and keep its last known location or sighted position availible at all times, so that Terracom soldiers do not have to rely on only basic eye-sight.

Utility

The Tactical Visor provides two major benefits. The first is optical zooming. The units offer zooming technologies that vastly improve distance viewing with clear line-of-sight far beyond an ordinary pair of binoculars. However, the optical zoom function requires some training to shift rapidly, which may happen frequently in scouting missions.

The night vision mode is especially useful to Terracom, given their enemies do not have similar capabilities or military resources. This may however lead to unintentional blinding of any soldier who recieves a blast of strong light when this mode is activated. Additionally, the thermal vision mode cannot stay active beyond an optical zoom level of X5.

Access & Availability

These units are only availible to Terracom soldiers. The visors are not always attatched to helmets. They can come separatley, to view through an advanced shade of spectacles.

Complexity

Digital processing and power routing are an important piece of the gear. Terracom however has access to the supplies needed to manufacture them.

Discovery

The Tactical Visor was inspired first by the advancements in machine tracking software used on the HUDs of Terracom's R1-VT6 Airship models. From there, the idea of powering a digital protective helmet using Nrixus Magic would give Terracom the edge in combat, especially during nightfall.
