| - The mechanism of a standard Slipspace radar set is to open a rift into Slipspace using stationary particle accelerators, in a similar manner to the Slipspace COM Launcher, to create a micro-black hole, which under normal circumstances, should evaporate in a fraction of a second because of Hawking Radiation. However, microscopic amounts of negative mass projected by the scanning ship are used to hold the black hole open, and so tunnel into Slipspace in the same manner as starship Shaw-Fujikawa engines. Next, an intense radar ping is sent through the rift, which the Slipspace gravity silhouette of an object distorts somewhat, which can be detected by the sending ship's gravimetric sensors nearly instantaneously at any range below twenty million kilometres. Unlike conventional radars, slipspace radar can only scan in one direction at a time, and so most UNSC ships carry at least six sets for scanning every possible approach vector.
