[edit] Overview

The RCV-028 Mk1 Lacerator is a light-armoured, agile and flexible drone, introduced to the UNSC in 2559. The Lacerator's serves as a defensive sentry robot as well as an assault support drone. The Lacerator provides real-time direct situational awareness and force protection information for affiliated security forces expeditionary teams.

[edit] Appearances

Consisting of a titanium armour and four jointed legs, Lacerators are the autonomous drones of the UNSC. Nose-mounted is a powerful M247 turret. On the belly is a Type-3 Pulse Cannon that causes scenic destruction and inflicts massive electromagnetic splash damage vaporizing anything in close proximity. Prior to the cannon's discharge, a thin blue laser indicates where the cannon is aimed with the surrounding space around the cannon's barrel distorting enveloped by a blue aura.

[edit] Features

The RCV-028 Mk1 Lacerator is a system, not just a sentry drone. A fully operational system consists of four sensors, a ground control station, a Stealth Tactical Aerial Reconnaissance Satellite Link, or STARSL, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour operations.

The drone is equipped with two photodetectors, a day variable-aperture TV camera, a variable-aperture infrared camera (for low light/night), and other sensors as the mission requires. The cameras produce full-motion video. Powered by an electromagnetic propulsion system operates on all terrains, the Lacerator is recommended for use on flat, smooth surfaces for maximum output; battle control functional for up to 1000 miles.

The system is composed of four major components which can be deployed for worldwide operations. The Lacerator drone can be disassembled and loaded into a "coffin". The ground control system is transportable in a Transport Hog (or larger) transport aircraft or installed in a fixed facility. The ground data terminal antenna provides line-of-sight communications for takeoff and landing. The STARL provides over-the-horizon communications for the aircraft.

An alternate method of employment, Remote Split Operations, employs a smaller version of the ground control system called the Launch and Recovery GCS, or LRGCS. This sytsem conducts deployment and movement operations at the forward deployed location while the CONUS based ground control system conducts the mission via extended communication links.

[edit] Deployment

Lacerators are deployed to scout areas too dangerous for reconnaissance teams, and to force enemies out of inaccessible spaces. Lacerators are never seen to travel alone, and are usually deployed in groups of at least four or more.
