The standard model is fitted with a powered exoskeleton (which doubles the effective strength of the wearer), environmental control systems, filters, and respirator fittings (to enable be wearer to function in thin or tainted atmospheres), a laser designator unit (6km range), an integral 3km radio, and an integral WSV suite displaying on the inside of the helmet visor. The laser designator can be fitted to either the left or right forearm, at the wearer's option, and can be used to "paint" any target the wearer can see within a range of up to 3,000 meters.

Some suits are manufactured with an integral "chameleon" camouflage feature which adjusts the suit's IR signature to match is surroundings. This feature must be incorporated during manufacture.

The suit's power supply is sufficient to enable it to operate for up to 10 hours before recharging is required. All suits are supplied with standard power and life support fittings, allowing users to plug into a ship or vehicle power/life support systems and conserve or recharge their resources. The laser designator is only supplied with a battery sufficient to last for a total of 6 minutes, however, so it's use must be carefully rationed.

Oxygen tanks can be added to the basic suit in order to enable the wearer to function under vacuum situations. Individual requiring additional radio communication range may substitute a 30-km radio for the standard 3km model.

When being used for meteoric assault in a drop capsule, the battle dress is fitted with a small air supply, sufficient for one hour, with negligible mass and price.

  • Chameleon feature: kCr1
  • Oxygen tanks: 10kg, kCr2
  • 30-km radio: 12kg, kCr2
