Military reconnaissance/overwatch drones

[ResslynHalvik]

Does anyone here know of a canon(ish) source of designs for semi-autonomous reconnaissance drones? Something you give a station and a pattern to and it will pootle up and down sending observations back to an operator.

Happy to design my own but if something already exists in a Core book, or FFW, it JTAS that would be better.

Secrets of the Ancients has armed security drones on page 21

Check out pages 44-48 of Armies of the Fifth Frontier War, for instance. The Robot Handbook has others.

The Field Catalogue also features drones (some shared with the above sources): page 153 inparticular for recon drones.

Also:
JTAS 1, page 42-43: "Remotely Piloted Reconnaissance Unit" (also has optional autonomy)
JTAS 17, pages 100-101: "P1GEON Drone"
JTAS 18, pages 80-91: "Small Robots: Size 0 robots and drones"
