		The Gauntlet also has a target analyzer computer, burst radio transmission systems, computers for analyzing detected communications, and seismic detection, which is an excellent, unjammable way of precisely pinpointing the movements of any kind of robot or walker without specialized seismic-shock reduction systems.
