Target Lock

A Target Lock is a sophisticated Tau target acquisition system. Infantry and Battlesuit versions of the Target Lock aid the user by identifying potential targets and plotting fire plans to counter them, thus allowing the bearer to target a different enemy unit from that engaged by the rest of his squad. Vehicle-mounted versions of a Target Lock perform a similar role, except allow different vehicle gunners within the same vehicle to more effectively engage multiple targets simultaneously. Target Locks are most commonly found as a form of Tau Battlesuit Support System, though certain Fire Caste infantry may also be found with hard-wired versions of the system; especially those who are equipped with Marker Lights so that they may designate priority targets whilst their squad provides covering fire. Tau skimmer vehicles can also be upgraded with Target Locks as additional support systems.
