-COFFIN Circut-Path-
-the black spheres located on the arm rests of the seat are Standardized ENSI components-
Standardized ENSI
"Standardized ENSI" is the standard COFFIN component which allows a person to control their vehicle without having to use a manual input system. In the case of military aviation, this would be the throttle and flight stick (the HOTAS System). Standardized ENSI increased a pilot's reaction time because of the lack of extra systems needed to calculate pilot inputs. All inputs in Standardized ENSI are made through two sphere-shaped devices which the pilot places their hands upon during flight. This allowed pilots to control their aircraft through neural signals which were transmitted into an aircraft flight computer, which then allowed the aircraft to perform the operations the pilot inputed. In the 2040s, Standardized ENSI circut-paths allowed COFFIN Systems to be applied to more vehicles, rather than just aircraft, by simplying switching out device drivers.
It was also discovered that Standardized ENSI within a COFFIN System could allow a vehicle to be controlled through the Inter-Satellite-Network (In-Sa-Net), anywhere around the globe, from where its operator was. This remote piloting was used before the year 2040, but was not made a standard practice because it was susceptible to hacking and had a time lag associated with the system that lowered response times as compared to a pilot in the aircraft.
Opto-Neuron ENSI
Besides "Standardized ENSI", a second form of ENSI was created. Standardized ENSI, though linked directly to the pilot, still had to process the pilot's neural reactions though a flight system that would send that data to aircraft controls (Flight Surfaces, Engine Output, etc.).
This second form of ENSI known as "Opto-Neuron" was capable of connecting the pilot directly to the aircraft and allowing the pilot's brain to act as the COFFIN processing unit. This would make the aircraft's controls a part of the pilot's neural network, rather than another level of input. Special Surgery is needed in order use the Opto-Neuron connection. This surgery was extremely dangerous, because it required a connection point to be implanted at the base of the neck, which would then be connected to the human body's neural systems. Beyond that, a pilot with this specialized ENSI connection would experiance great brain work loads because of reorientation with flight and possibly suffer brain damage or lose control of aircraft flight systems in cases of flight system hacking.
In one of the possible endings of Ace Combat 03: Electrosphere (JP), Rena Hirose had her X-49 Flight Systems hacked which resulted in temporary loss of aircraft control and brain damage (possibly death). Only the X-49 Night Raven, XR-900 Geopelia and Su-37R had Opto-Neuron ENSI installed for Rena Hirose. The only other pilot which could operate Opto-Neuron ENSI was GRDF Ace Abyssal Dision.
History
To further the development of the Connection for Flight Interface (COFFIN) System, a new circut-path, believed to be developed around 2020 through 2040, was created to further eliminate the need for a pilot to physically input commands into the aircraft flight surfaces, engine output and all other systems within the COFFIN system. This connection between pilot and aircraft was known as the Electro-Neuron-Synapse-Interface (ENSI) System. The prototype of this system is believed to have first appeared in the year 2020 as a part of the YR-99 Forneus Next-Generation Prototype Fighter's COFFIN system. This ENSI system was built upon after the Leasath-Aurelian War in 2020, until the ENSI's great break through in the 2040s. By the 2040s, Standardized ENSI became the primary operating system of all military and civilian vehicles deploying the COFFIN System.
During its development, the General Resource LTD. "Darkness of Enigma" (DOE) development team began work on the X-49 Night Raven in 2028. During the aircraft development, Opto-Neuron ENSI was also developed. The DOE selected aviation prodigy Rena Hirose and GRDF Ace Abyssal Dision to act as pilots in the Night Raven project. For a multitude of reasons, the X-49 project was eventually frozen. When Rena Hirose transfered from General Resource into the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization, her aircraft was modified to use the Opto-Neuron ENSI as well, making it the second aircraft to deploy the system. The final aircraft that would deploy Opto-Neuron ENSI was a sort of copy of the X-49 Night Raven, known as the XR-900 Geopelia, which was also created by the DOE.
The Corporate War of 2040 was the first conflict in which Standardized and Opto-Neuron ENSI were used in combat. Both systems saw great success in the conflict with all operators; this would cement the future of ENSI in all COFFIN designs. Opto-Neuron ENSI systems also saw combat during the conflict, but because of the limited number of operators, did not become a more commonly operated version of ENSI.
