The Sensor Probe or Mapping Probe[2] is a small unmanned ground vehicle used to sense the geological and geographical makeup of the terrain of Pandora. They were, in a sense, supposed to be used by the RDA for mapping out sites containing natural resources.[2] These diminutive drones are an important asset for the gigantic Mobile Drill Platform Alpha in the mission A Distant Storm. Two are found in the Upper Plains of the Western Frontier in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.[1] They were hacked and their information stolen by The Sarentu in the game.
Specifications/Overview[]
They are small drones roughly the size of a human and run on four wheels. Their main frame is large and bulky as it houses the computational software that will be wirelessly linked to the central command of Platform Alpha and to the landship itself.[1] It has two flaps on its side which is actually its advanced sensors used to graph the landscape and geological makeup of the surrounding regions.[1]
Once the probe has done its job, it is deactivated for the time being for security purposes due to the data collected.[1] Unfortunately for the RDA, these little probes are vulnerable to hacking, as The Sarentu used their SIDs to forcefully activate the machine and transmit its data to the central command computer terminal.[1]
