Description[]
A schematic of an Ubese raider helmet with a NiteSite infrared motion sensor attached.
The NiteSiteinfrared and motion sensor unit was manufactured byNeuro-Saav Corporation and was designed to be fitted into a battlehelmet. The data collected by thesensor was displayed on a readout screen displayed inside the helmet. The NiteSite's infrared scanners were capable of detecting heat sources up to a range of two hundredmeters. Theanalysis computer attached to the unit could track and highlight up to fifty individual targets on the internal screen and was capable of fifty times zoom magnification.[1]
A cluster oflow-illumination enhancers that could detect any physical objects within a range of ten meters of the user was fitted to the NiteSite, which allowed the wearer to see clearly and move unhindered while in complete darkness. Aflash guard visor protected the wearer from flashes of lights that could blind the wearer and overwhelm the enhancers. In the event of a burst of light from explosions, torches,flares, orflash grenades, the visor activated within one-thirtieth of asecond to negate the effects.[1]

The NiteSite could be synchronized with the wearer'sblaster, either through a wireless link or a hardwired connection cable. This enabled the weapon's fire vector to be displayed on the helmet's internal read-out screen. Additional sensors could also be connected to the NiteSite unit through input ports. Weighing half akilogram, the unit was constructed of sturdy compositeplastics that protected its miniaturized optics. At a cost of six hundredcredits, the Nitesite became a popular device due to its reliability and ease of use.[1]
