Electronic Warfare Equipment (EW Equipment) was a suite of basic electronic devices developed by the Capellan Confederation and included on the first model of their Raven BattleMech. The device mimiced the combined capabilities of the then-lostech Beagle Active Probe and Guardian ECM Suite, but without the range of those Star League era devices. It was a landmark development for the Confederation in its time, but became obsolete with the redevelopment of the Star League systems it copied.
The Clans, having never lost the original equipment, had no need to develop this substitute.
Game Notes
EW Equipment weighs 7.5 tons and takes up 4 critical spaces. It functions as an active probe and an ECM suite within a radius of three hexes. [1] The combined mass and bulk of the system make it strictly inferior to mounting both a Beagle and Guardian system instead, but the latter systems are of a higher technology level.
