Artemis Tracking System

The Artemis Tracking System (ATS) is a prototype sensor and advanced tracking system still in development, for use by soldiers of the Spartan branch and operatives of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Manufactured by Ohana Prescient Systems, the Artemis Tracking System is an extension of the Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance—used by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and some Spartan-IVs—with a firmware revision of 0.7. Fireteam Osiris used ATS during their hunt for the AWOL Blue Team. Provisional access to the ATS has been granted to specific Spartan operatives, only with the permission of Spartan Commander Sarah Palmer, to aid in the search for missing UNSC assets and individuals. ONI technicians have approved it for field testing, however, various bugs and defects limit system functionality outside of a small range of approved Mjolnir [GEN2] integrations.

The ATS is capable of highlighting enemies, scanning the surrounding area for technological artifacts known to be of tactical significance, such as weapon storage crates, or of notable interest to intelligence analysts. Spartan-IVs can also use the ATS to heal their fellow Spartans. The ATS also has the ability to scan a weapon to see if it has ammunition in it or not. The system is able to remotely hack and operate a wide variety of technologies, from Meridian technologies on the level of humans to the Forerunner technologies on Genesis.

Trivia
