[001] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ Small & Smart Sensor
Small & Smart Sensor :
~ harware is a small & smart sensor module.
~ Sensor4Xi has been designed to fit
~ military may use Sensor4Xi to surveillance and in missions requiring sensoring of remote and hostile targets

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[002] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ Location Transmitter
Sensors4Xi do NOT have location transmitter:
~ Xi knows a Sensor4Xi location and so does Base4Xi
~ power consumption is minimized by having small amount of hardware components
~ space is saved

[003] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ Droppable with Parachute
Sensor4Xi is NOT droppable with a parachute:
~ hardware of these kind of sensors was explored
~ parachute would reveal Sensor4Xi making it unsuitable for most military operations
~ therefore, idea was abondeded

[004] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ Droppable without Parachute
Sensor4Xi is droppable without Parachute:
~ Sensor4Xi has been designed to be droppable without parachute
~ goal and focus has been a rapid deployable sensor as part of similar system
~ Xi can be deployed rapidly by a figher and Base4Xi by a manned helicopter
~ Sensors4Xi are being dropped by Xi to get them to sensor target area as soon as possible

[005] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ 3D Circuits
3D Circuits are being explored for Sensor4Xi hardware.
~ Xi is a small unmanned helicopter designed to fit in smart pod,inside bomb,torpedo
~ and Xi has to carry a load of Sensors4Xi to be dropped.
~ Base4Xi is also a compact unit and can not take big extra sensors to be able to give shelter to Xis.

[006] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ Antenna
Antenna in sensors:
~ Antenna is being explored.
~ Sensor4Xi is defined to communicate only with Xi i.e not with other Sensors4Xi
~ Base4Xi may have sensors around which communicate with Base4Xi or with Xi.

[007] Sensor4Xi Hardware ~ Military Sensor: ~ Interface
Wireless Interface:
~ Sensor4Xi communicates with Xi using wireless communication
~ Base4Xi may also communicate with Sensors4Xi around it
~ there is nothing to plugin, this is to prevent terrorists and enemies to misuse sensors
~ test versions allow wireless trusteed interface between Sensor4Xi and mobile Freedom Devices
