Designer Notes
While the White Cat and its recent Silver Cat variant are designed primarily for offensive electronic warfare, with a secondary use in defensive electronic warfare, Northern Guard high command has become increasingly worried about the danger from Southern electronic warfare units such as the Chatterbox. A program is underway to develop a Gear dedicated to eliminating these enemy units, and the White Cat has formed the basis of this program, leading to the development of the White Cat Electronic Warfare Hunter or White Cat EWH. The new model uses an upgraded electronic counter-counter-measures pod able, in the hands of a skilled operator, to consistently defeat the ECM package employed by the Chatterbox. The mission profile of the EWH is not only to counter Southern ECM efforst, but to destroy the units responsible. To this end, the White Cat's usual light rocket pod has been replaced by a sealed launch bin containing three DiMaean Raptor-9 radiation-homing missiles. These missiles relentlessly home in on units employing emission-based electronics, including active sensor sweeps, communications, ECM jamming, and ECCM signal boosting. When ECM coverage begins, the White Cat EWH can launch a missile almost blind, confident that it will home in on the strongest signal on the battlefield: the jamming noise. The EWH also retains its own ECM capabilities and a target designator for guiding in other munitions.
