Submission URL: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=lazarus:sensors:ua109

Faction: Public
FM Approved Yet? N/A

For Reviewers:
Contains Unapproved Sub-Articles? Yes (https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=lazarus:sensors:grid)
Contains New art? No
Previously Submitted? No

Notes:
A cheap simple gravity sensor anyone and their dog could make use of without having to write a new one from scratch. Less capable than the inverse gravitic centrifuge but the cost savings might be more important in many cases and the inverse might be overkill for a lot of people, especially in civilian sectors.

Lacking Details

The article does not provide information on the specifics of the sensor.

What is the effective range of this sensor? What level of discrimination does it have.
 
What degree of resolution, for example how close can two objects be and still identified as two objects.

What is the smallest object the system can detect. Since it is dependent upon the gravity of an object obviously there has to be a lower limit.
 
Updated. And no: The lower limit is how much interference there is: How much moving mass there is between it and the target. It has a better time seeing through the nosecone of a missile or through the shield of a power-armour out at enemies than it does say, at the eye of a tornado or the heart of a nebulae which would confuse the crap out of it. To this end, extensive chaff, fragmenting an asteroid into lots of moving pieces or swirly storms would be a good way to hide from it since its overwhelmed quite easily.
