Controls
The armor is designed with a 'traditional' cybernetic command system with Heads Up Display (HUD) that allows armor control through brainwaves and mental commands. An emergency toggle in the lower front faceplate acts as a back up in case the cybernetic link is severed or disrupted. (The chin toggle is also used to deliver drinking water to the user's mouth.) The eye slits in the helmet can opaque automatically to protect the wearer and display information.
Remote control has been hooked into a simple 'wristwatch' design, allowing access to the armor, whether in modular mode or 'unpacked', should it be in a distant location of up to three city blocks away. The remote control works as a portion of the suit itself, all signals sent are part of the suit's internal components and could not be duplicated unless someone had a schematic of the suit itself and could replicate parts.
An auto pilot function allows for a “sleep mode” while in flight with the user. Without the user, a Remote Control System via the manual control armature linked through a laptop computer allows Ross to operate and test the armor without being in it. The R/C link is sluggish and very limited and meant only for testing, not for combat. The hook up sends back a myriad of data to the laptop including all sensor functions, but no visual or optics.
