Aliens USCM Combat Motion Tracker Movie Prop
1980's Movie Prop From "USCM Colonial Marines"
This is the most accurate motion tracker replica that you will find, unless you are lucky enough to own the original.
This is a detailed 1:1 scale collectors kit
Cleanly cast and highly detailed, this kit consists of 14 parts as shown in the photo below and includes: main body, viewer box, button bar, 3 x pipes, grille, bar, button pad transfer, resin button pad, viewer transfer, recharge nipple and D-rings.
This is an original reproduced film casting replica of the motion tracker as seen in the 1986 James Cameron classic Aliens movie.
ABOUT USCM MOTION TRACKERS:
The modern motion tracker is a simple surveillance device originally designed for use by rescue and police services. Essentially, it is a high-powered ultra-sound scanner that Uses Doppler-shift discrimination to filter out moving objects from the stationary background. A moving object is shown on the trackers display as a series of contours of probable loci, with the range and bearing given to the target.
Motion trackers are often employed for perimeter surveillance, able to monitor movements of small animal sized targets up to a range of 1000m in open country. The greatest advantage of the motion tracker is its ability to scan through objects; however, intervening terrain can cut this detection range quite drastically, and in built-up areas the presence of walls and partitions can reduce the range to less than 20 m.
Motion tracker operators must become Familiar with their limitations. First, they are active sensors, emitting thousands of high energy ultrasound bursts every second, and can be easily located by enemy listening stations to serve as a target for enemy fire.
Secondly, the tracker range gate function is calibrated to reject small or slight movements (such as bugs crawling, plants waving in the wind etc.), so that every slow-moving objects can infiltrate a trackers detection cone (as guerrillas did on many occasions during the Arcturna War). Thirdly, trackers are vulnerable to spoofing by ultrasound jamming, or jumping jack decoy devices.
