First appearance |
The Picador is a small, fast and maneuverable jetboat.[2] Used by the RDA, they primarily carry out short-range water patrol missions on Pandora.[1] A variant is deployed from the SeaDragon as a pursuit boat for tulkun hunting.
Specifications[]
Smaller than any other maritime seacraft, the Picador is lightly armed, reliant on its speed and maneuverability to avoid danger. By itself, it is unarmed, however, Cet-Ops operatives are known to mount a Hydra Machine Gun[3] on its stern, as well as a Sound Cannon[1] on its starboard and a searchlight on its port side. Likewise, it can also mount one or two Chunkers in replacement of the Ultrasonic Cannon or Hydra.[1]
They can get on station quicker than Mako Submersibles. Explosives are used to drive the targeted animals back toward the mothership.[4]
It is also equipped with smokescreen launchers for defensive measures[1] alongside a sensor "basket handle" on the boat's roof that contains the radar, antennae, camera and more sensor equipment. Likewise, the boat's cockpit windscreen has a HUD that displays critical tactical and vehicle data.[1]
It only requires a small crew of a pilot, two gunners and a spotter.
