AES-111A Odin atmospheric sensor/C2
drones
The
Odin drone re-packages the Oracle system architecture
in a physical structure capable of atmospheric flight. It
is used during all phases of planetfall warfare, including
surveillance, reconnaissance and C2 applications. The Odin
can accept smart missile control hand-off from the originating
platform or another drone, and is also capable of leading
hunter-killer packs on search and destroy missions. Unlike
its spaceborne counterpart, Odin is not an effective
choice for attack operations because of its low speed. However,
the Lancer Corps records several instances where hostile
troops surrendered to an Odin � even when no smart
missiles or other attack assets were forthcoming. It is
a testament to the effectiveness of the system and the Corps
that their most reliable eye in the sky can produce victory
without bloodshed.
