Familiar with the Battletech Universe? The system I'm fantasizing about is a
radar screen similar to the ones in the Mechs using a satellite uplink.
Bogeys are all in red, whether in the air or on the ground. All other
vehicles come up green. Toggling the targeting button cycles through all the
red blips giving a 3D diagram of the said bogey with its elevation and
approximate distance from my current position. The system works in
pitch-black (of course) and dense fog, but its effective max range (5 mi.
radius) is reduced in heavy rain and snow, which is fine since you'd be a
fool to be exceeding safe speeds in such conditions anyway. Theoretically,
you'd be able to drive in pitch-black relying solely on your HUD.
Anyone like my fantasy? Of course, jump jets are optional. Quite effective
in performing the often suicidal but awesome DFA move.
