The '''MQ-96 Support Drone''' is an unmanned support drone operated by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=139}}
The '''MQ-96 Support Drone''' is a drone known to be used by the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Equipped with light defensive measures, the drone is ideal for providing both cover and reconnaissance. The MQ-96 boasts impressive compatibility with a wide range of complementary systems and equipment, such as the MC5 ID/NT tacpad with hardened battlenet uplink, which allows for a user to track and operate their drone, or with the [[H-165 Forward Observer Module]]. Additionally, the drone is able to identify targets via a user's remote sensor package.<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref>


==Overview==
==Usage==
===Design details===
*[[Corporal]] [[Turpin]] of [[Sunray 1-1]] employed an MQ-96 nicknamed "[[Hank]]".
The MQ-96 is a small support UAV designed to operate in support of infantry units on the ground. This is achieved by way of the drone's numerous sensor and camera feeds, alongside a high-energy [[laser]] weapon designed by [[Isabel]],{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Corporal Turpin}} which allow the drone to provide both cover and reconnaissance for its operator. The MQ-96 boasts impressive compatibility with a wide range of complementary systems and equipment: these include [[TACPAD]]s such as the [[MC5 Individual Data/Net Terminal]] with hardened [[UNSC battle network]] uplink, which allows for a user to track and operate their drone. They may also be used with [[Target designator]]s such as the [[H-165 Forward Observer Module|H-165 FOM]], or the [[PZY-955SSA WILLOW]] remote sensor package, which can be used to identify targets for the drone.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}}
*An upgrade available for the [[M121 Jackrabbit|Jackrabbit]] employs an MQ-96 drone to detect cloaked enemies. In [[Blitz]], the Veteran Jackrabbit employs an MQ-96 drone.  
 
*[[John Forge's Warthog]] employs an MQ-96 following the second upgrade available for the vehicle.
==Operational history==
MQ-96 drones are widely used by the operational forces of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. They were used by [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] in conjunction with his [[John Forge's Warthog|personal Warthog]],{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[John Forge's Warthog]] in-game unit}} with another used by [[Corporal]] [[Chloe Turpin]] of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] team [[Sunray 1-1]] to support the team.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}} They are commonly paired alongside [[M121 Jackrabbit]]s, in particular their "[[Veteran Jackrabbit|Veteran]]" loadouts, for support and reconnaissance even when removed from the wider UNSC support network.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
