The equiptment could have originated from PF, (as Carolina went to look for some of it after all) though it doesn't mean they need to have an AI. Equiptment CAN still be run without an AI, just not as well. If you have an AI though, it can run indefinitely. For example, with an AI you could stay invisible as long as you wanted, but without one it wouldn't be able to run as long.

In essence, the equiptment would work like it does in the game. You can use it for a short period of time before it wears off. Afterwards it probably needs to recharge or something. But yeah that's just my theory on this.
