<p>The MAKO Artificial Intelligence 
Computer System Originally developed by a design 
team from Memory Alpha in conjunction with the Bynar 
Institute, (Stardate 2376.07.09) for inclusion in 
the Mako Fighter v. I and v.II the Artificial Intelligence 
Computer System (known as the AI) assists the pilot 
in all areas of space flight / combat. The initial 
duotronics programming of the AI was two-fold - 
the constant status monitoring of both pilot and 
craft, and assistance with the holographic targeting 
heads-up display (HUD) via the Optical Data Network 
(ODN). This enables the pilot to track up to 16 
multiple targets at any time (one target for each 
missile). The AI / LCARS automatically lays out 
and prioritises all of the data to be presented 
in an easy to understand layout.. <br>
<br>
With the introduction of the Mako v.III (Stardate 
2401.03.17) the AI was given additional features 
with the Pilot Astro-Navigation Preferencing System 
(PANPS). This enables both AI and pilot to form 
a symbiotic relationship so that the AI will automatically 
use its knowledge of the pilot's preferences (display 
of specific data and systems - flight / weapons 
/ attack / maneuvers etc.) in order to help the 
pilot in executing a plan of action. This information 
is constantly transmitted to the Squadron's Flight 
AI and has proven to be of inestimable value to 
the FSCO and CONN officer's in mission planning 
and Squadron tactics. In addition, the AI's were 
made to be interchangeable - so that the pilot's 
information modules, system modules and operational 
modules could easily be transferred between Mako's 
and the Federation LCARS. A further feature of AI's 
symbiotic relationship is that if the pilot should 
be hurt during a mission, the AI will recognize 
this and navigate a course to the safest and nearest 
location, taking whatever means necessary to ensure 
the survival of the wounded pilot. Another feature 
of the v.III addition was that of an Adaptive Heuristic 
Database(AHD) - enabling the AI to develop a personality. 
This assists the pilot, AI / Mako to perform uniquely 
as a co-operative unit. <br>
<br>
By stardate 2404.03.01 the standard Iconic Display 
Console (IDC) was integrated into the AI. This highly 
sophisticated computer interface system permits 
the pilot to mind-link directly to the computer, 
so that on thinking / looking the respective flight 
/ weapon / comms system is used. The IDC in conjunction 
with the AHD personalizes the symbiotic relationship 
between the AI / Mako and the pilot to an even greater 
degree. The pilot's thoughts are translated into 
functions / actions for execution of any flight 
control / weapon / comms activation command - reducing 
the reaction time to any situation to an almost 
instantaneous response. The bioelectric signature 
of the pilot is constantly monitored by the AI / 
LCARS verifying each systems' authorized use by 
the pilot. <br>

<br>
Thus the Mako v. IV one of the most formidable pieces 
of technology in the Federation. <br>
<br>
<i>Note-1:</i> The AHD is designed so as to prevent 
any AI from functioning beyond pre-programmed specific 
parameters. Therefore the AI will never perform 
any action without authorization from the pilot 
- thus preventing the pilot from losing control 
due to AI interference. <br>
<br>
<i>Note-2:</i> In the event of total loss of life 
of the pilot and permanent malfunction of a Mako, 
the AI is pre-programmed to send an en-coded transmission 
of all data form the pilot's information modules, 
system modules and operational modules though the 
nearest sub-space transponder to Starfleet Fighter 
Command for record and archival purposes. <br>

<br>
<i>Note 3:</i> In the event of any pilot becoming 
renegade, the FSCO, FSXO and Base CO have the authority 
to revoke access to the Mako's systems' rendering 
the weapons systems inactive. </p>
