Based upon the information available, the scanning device is probably deployed either aboard the Booster Frames, or deployed onto the hull of a target vessel, in this case, a [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] or [[Covenant assault carrier]].

The scanning device, activated.

This unidentified scanning device is a piece of equipment used to detect signal frequencies, specifically weak signals with a short radius. In order for the scanning device to function properly, the operator must get close enough to be able to read any signals in the area.[1]

Overview

Shortly after the Battle of Miridem in 2544, such a device was utilized by a team of Spartans during their mission to rescue Dr. Catherine Halsey from a Covenant fleet by using OF92/EVA Booster Frames. The fleet's Supreme Commander, Luro 'Taralumee, was able to fool the scanning device's sensors and make it appear that were multiple signals; these false signals were traps, as they led to antimatter charges. One of these decoys was successful, resulting in the death of Solomon-069. However, John-117 realized that the Covenant understood the Spartans' objectives; he thus deduced that the Halsey's signal originated from the Covenant flagship, Resplendent Fervor.[1]
