'''ARGUS | '''ARGUS Drones''' are small, disc-like, one meter wide aerial Drones equipped with [[ARGUS]] detection systems, which stay aloft by a single shrouded rotor.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 14''</ref> They are also equipped with targeting computers and one or more [[Lancet Micro-missile]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 16''</ref> Their function was to detect and occasionally destroy explosives on motorways and in buildings. Despite their widespread use, ARGUS Drones are not infallible, having wrongly identified explosives on an innocent civilian on at least one occasion. | ||
