CB Towers detect incoming indirect-fire (mortars, artillery, etc) munitions and will direct your own indirect-fire weapons to return fire at their weapons.

-Targeting: Line-of-Sight Manual Lock
-Function: Designates targets for assigned VTOL aircraft

VTOL CB Turret
-Assigns: VTOL Units
-Range: 2048
-Targeting: Automatic Counter-Battery
-Function: Detects incoming artillery rounds, calculates position of enemy artillery unit/emplacement, and attacks this position with assigned VTOL aircraft.

Wide Spectrum Sensor
-Assigns: Artillery, VTOL Units
-Range: 2260
-Targeting: Non Line-of-Sight Manual Lock
-Function:

• Designates targets for assigned VTOL aircraft and artillery.
  Can establish an indirect non-Line-of-Sight lock on any target whose position is known.
  Detects incoming artillery rounds, calculates position of enemy artillery unit/emplacement, and locks on to this position.

Command Turret

-Range: 1536
-Targeting: Line-of-Sight Automatic Lock

Wide Spectrum Sensor
-Assigns: Artillery, VTOL Units
-Range: 2260
-Targeting: Non Line-of-Sight Manual Lock
-Function: Designates targets for assigned VTOL aircraft and artillery. Not affected by obstructions like terrain or structures.

It definitely is affected by obstructions like terrain. To be exact, it acts as a combined sensor/cb/vtol-strike/vtol-cb with a very long range.

I just tested it in a Skirmish.
The Wide Spectrum Sensor locks on to the location of any structure or unit you know of, regardless of the sensor unit's own location.
Whereas a regular Sensor Turret unit will drive all the way until it personally gets a direct lock on the said target.
That's what I mean by "Non Line-of-Sight". I could post a screenshot of a Wide Spectrum Sensor locking a target straight through a mountain while a regular Sensor Turret vehicle tries to drive around the mountain.

For things whose location is not present on the mini-map(i.e, not known), it is just a long-ranged combo sensor. For anything that is shown on your mini-map, like a known enemy structure or a unit being seen by one of your units/structures, it can lock on without moving.
