Hello Ethan McKinney,
 
Thank you for the strong recommendation that I drop the idea of increasing the power requirement with the installation of additional systems.

True and I’m making the corrections in my spreadsheet.
 
I can see having a back-up sensor which takes up volume, add mass, and cost. I really don’t see why additional crew or automatically adding an antenna array is required with the installation of a back-up system. During my time on the boats, a.k.a. submarines, the radio shack had back-up radio sets that would be switched on and then linked to an antenna.

Thank you for your offer about editing my spreadsheet, unfortunately past experience has shown my work runs the range from overly simple to over engineered all in one spreadsheet.

Thank-you again for the reply and stay tuned for an updated on the TL-9 Medium Sensor package.

Okay active sensors with back-ups double everything, except crew and USD.
