In need of a recon variant of the standard SAFS the CMA developed the Racoon, a SAFS suit that replaced the periscope camera with a sensor pod and mounted a multi spectrum high yield camera on the front of the machine, though this required the removal of the left arm Laser, replacing it with another manipulator, which made the suit better suited to engineering duties, a role it was also soon pressed into. For additional protection, the armour was given a basic stealth suite, including a fully enclosed engine muffler and thermal shroud.
Pictured is SAFS Racoon 154 of the Northern Operations District, around Krakow, engaged in mine clearing duties a few months after the war ended. The SDR and CMA both made extensive use of mines and other such munitions, which then had to be cleared after the war was over.
