MQ-96 Support Drone: Difference between revisions

The MQ-95 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}}
