They are likely named after [[Wikipedia:Argus Panoptes|Argus Panoptes]] of Greek Mythology, a giant with a hundred eyes and servant of Hera. It killed the bull that ravaged [[Wikipedia:Arcadia|Arcadia]], which is also the name of a [[UNSC]] colony world, [[Arcadia]].
'''ARGUS drones''' are small, disc-shaped, one-meter wide unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with [[ARGUS]] detection systems, which stay aloft by a single shrouded rotor.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', Prologue, ''page 14''</ref> They are also equipped with targeting computers and one or more [[Lancet micro-missile]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', Prologue, ''page 16''</ref> Their function was to detect and, if possible, destroy explosives on motorways and in buildings. ARGUS drones are not infallible despite their widespread use, having wrongly identified explosives on an innocent [[civilian]] on at least one occasion.
