PILGRIM Report 1: Norfolk coast field test
[Text received via Inter_Time web application - kruse]
Preliminary Field Test: New Norfolk coast 26/04/2129 - 04/05/2129
AuTCRONE conducted a short recon mission to test essential items of kit before undertaking later 2129 mission: PILGRIM
The Norfolk coast was chosen for this mission due to -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a suitable venue for a base camp in the nearby Enclave of Norwich.
The kit is allocated into 4 units:
SHELTER / ENERGY PRODUCTION / WEATHER PROTECTION / DATA CAPTURE
AuTCRONE is a highly skilled observational unit, however, it's biological parts are of poor quality. Most of AuTCRONE's computing abilities are housed in a-----------------------------, which needs the biological unit it is attached to to function. Therefore it is imperative that the biological unit is maintained and if possible improved during the mission to enable ------------ to perform at optimal levels.
SHELTER:
Shelter and environmental protection are necessary to support the biological unit. Energy production is used for the biological unit and digital devices used to capture and record data.
WEATHER PROTECTION kit list:
AuTCRONE will design itself a suitskin on completion of the PILGRIM mission. During PILGRIM it will use ------------------ ---------------- to cover and protect the biological unit.
ENERGY PRODUCTION:
In the field, digital equipment is powered by -------------- Solar charger. Devices may also be charged from the Norwich Enclave's grid, when available.
The biological unit itself is fueled with primarily plant-based fuel. In the field protein is sourced via -------------------
Due to the biological unit's physical frailty, energy rations need to be lightweight, therefore, dried foodstuffs are commonly consumed.
Hot rations are produced using a --------------------------- One small canister lasted the entire 7 day recon with fuel to spare.
DATA CAPTURE:
For PILGRIM AuTCRONE is using a -----------------------
Apps used:
Most of the equipment performed well with the exception of the --------------------------------
The --------- proved to be unsuitable for conditions likely to be experienced by the AuTCRONE during PILGRIM.
It has severe issues with ----------------- --------------- --------- leading to other equipment -------------- If ---------- impacted on the biological unit.
On the fourth day the unit sustained a small injury to its right intercostal muscles which was made worse by ---------------. This injury is being managed with NSAIDs and is improving.
The tarp was abandoned on return to base camp and a ---- but is yet to be tested.
The biological unit is, as expected, the item of equipment most likely to under perform or become damaged. It is carrying extra weight with the new -------- so mileages have been shortened to not more than --- per day for the first 5 days of the PILGRIM mission. The unit has had three days without walking more than --- per day in order to facilitate repair to the damaged intercostal muscles. This appears to be a successful strategy so far.
Energy production is occasionally problematic. Biological rations are more difficult to procure than anticipated and ---------------- . Solar charging for digital units is generally performing well but grid charging is ------------------------------------
IN CONCLUSION
AuTCRONE is performing as expected, with slight adjustments to kit and one small injury to the biological unit, which was anticipated.
