A Drone is a computerized machine that destroys or neutralizes its target. They are a form of UAV/UCAV and are used in areas too dense for larger aircraft to traverse into.
Specifications[]
Their small size, cheap production cost and unmanned nature makes them a popular scouting machine for exploration, surveillance or air support without the added risk of putting humans in harms way. They resemble miniature Scorpion Gunships with their dual rotorblades and are able to hover as long as it has fuel. There are four different kinds of drones in Avatar: The Game.
Types of Drones[]
- The Unmanned Targeting Drone (U-T Drone) is a computer-operated attack drone that scans a predefined region for irregular motion. If it detects any targets, the computer conducts a rapid scan. The presence of any unauthorized targets will initiate an attack sequence. The drone will seek out the target and detonate itself within proximity.
- Roughly the size of a human, Patrol Drones provide excellent security with no risk to the soldiers. Each drone is equipped with an accurate gun.
- The Electric Drone is a modified patrol drone that emits a powerful electrical charge to neutralize any intruder it finds.
- The Alarm Drone is designed to sound an alarm when it finds an intruder. When the alarm sounds, reinforcements will soon arrive to investigate. It is also equipped with a gun to keep the target occupied.
