'''Scout UAV:''' A man portable UAV, the Aeryon Labs "Scout" is a small and light model that can be carried in a pack, making it perfect for providing reconassaince support forr small squads. The drone itself is unarmed, but its night vision and normal cameras can provide invaluable situational awareness to a squad leader. The Scout's normal operating ceiling is around 300 feet meaning that an operator has to be aware of the threat of small arms fire bringing it down.<br>
Weight: 6<br>
Notes: Night vision and visible spectrum cameras, [Pace 10; Toughness 4; Small -1; Agility d10; Notice d10+1] <br>

'''Toyota Type 107A Heavy Weapons Platform:''' The Type 107A is a semi-autonomous, unmanned ground vehicle designed to provide armor and fire support for infantry units. Resembling a small tank, the HWP is rated for almost all terrains, and packs a potent punch with either an onboard 20mm Autocannon or TOW missile launcher.<br>

The min-tank possess a rudimentary AI operating system that allows it to navigate hazardous terrain and acquire marked targets; but it's not complex enough to handle detailed combat tactics, and still requires an operator with a TUUVC to direct.<br>

Designed by Toyota for NATO militaries, the HWP exited prototype phase in late 2019. The earliest production models are already being slated for delivery to X-COM.<br>

'''Predator Drone:''' The General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is an American remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) built by General Atomics and used primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Initially conceived in the early 1990s for aerial reconnaissance and forward observation roles, the Predator carries cameras and other sensors but has been modified and upgraded to carry and fire two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles or other munitions. X-COM Predators have been modified to connect to TUUVC units, pass their information directly to troopers in the field, and allow them to designate targets.<br>
