In keeping with SiCLOPS's ethos of executing a mission that would be impossible by a single rover, the company has chosen to employ extensive use of consumer, off the shelf devices, so as to maximize physical coverage area. SiCLOPS has chosen Kinemetric's EpiSensor ES-T as a rugged, low power, low cost, and highly integrated sensor. Each VIRGIL unit will have a ES-T sensor integrated in it.
