Like most prowlers, the ''Sahara''-class is equipped with stealth systems that mask the ship from both visual and sensor detection. These systems include an [[active camouflage]], leaving the prowler nearly invisible to the naked eye.<ref name="catherine">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> | Like most prowlers, the ''Sahara''-class is equipped with stealth systems that mask the ship from both visual and sensor detection.

Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a ''Sahara''-class prowler is limited. They are armed with several [[XEV9-Matos Nonlinear Pulse Cannon]]s, allowing the prowlers to protect themselves if they are attacked. ''Sahara''-class prowlers are usually equipped with at least one [[Shiva-class nuclear missile#M947 Shiva|M947 Shiva Nuclear Delivery System]]. The main armament of the prowler is its [[M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System]]. With the mines, the prowlers lay out minefields in space for enemy ships to unknowingly enter. | Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a ''Sahara''-class prowler is limited.
