AN/GSR-1001 SPHINX is a UNSC sensory system designed to provide troops in the field with a disposable and long endurance sensory network for gathering of target acquisition, early warning and perimeter defence. Each sensor system has a battery life of 3 months and requires no human input, aside from placement. They directly interface with the UNSC War Net, and are small and light enough to be carried by UNSC infantry men. The SPHINX is the general name for the system, which has many sub systems. The SPHINX is protected by its own advanced active attack barrier, with a thick layered defence and subordinate dummy barriers. It's final ability is, thanks to their small size and modular design, it is easier to move, deploy and camouflage the systems.
