Description
The Hades is a highly potent mobile landmine, intended to pursue, and kill it's target. When inactive, it is a flat disk, that can be lain on the ground, partially buried, or even thrown. It uses a passive IFF interrogator and heat sensor to detect approaching targets, and once they've failed an IFF check it deploys. The drone unfurls it's four legs that allow it to skitter quickly across the ground. The drones fragmentation charges are lain flat inside the unit, and the drone inflates the interior chamber with a compressed air capsule, deploying the charges. It will rapidly pursue it's target, and once in range it detonates, showing the area in shrapnel. The drone is extremely lethal, and easy enough to deploy, and comes with many of the safety measures of static anti-personnel mines.
