The Basset II is the product of the marriage between Barataria's sucessful Bushmaster weapons carrier and Yoyodyne's newest product--the GATOR ("Gravitational Anomaly Targeting Optimized Radar"). [Here is a photograph of a Basset rocket ready to launch.)

According to Dr. John "Gator" McKlusky, Program Manager for GATOR, this system will facilitate the accurate targeting of surface to air missiles which have been used by armies around the world for decades. The key to the system is the GATOR-AID ("GATOR Anomaly Interpretation Device") which utilizes a truly revolutionary technology to detect and analyze the minute changes in the earth's gravitational field created by all objects, including aircraft.

To ensure the full mobility of the entire system, the GATOR-AID is also mounted on a Bushmaster:

To ensure that the entire system will function properly in all of the varied locations it may be deployed, all components have been carefully "climatized". For example, here is a photograph of a Basset equipped with special gear to enable it to operate it the rain.
