This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2010-09-27
SAR Drone v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer The SAR Drone is an articulated robot for rescue operations in wrecked starships. The articulated machine can clear the way for humans in their bulky hardsuits, and explore sections with high radiation levels. Depending on the mission and the communications environment, the Drone operates under remote control from a base ship, often through relays, or in autonomous robotic mode. The Drone has half a dozen body segments and two telescoping arms, so it can worm through narrow air ducts or partly collapsed corridors. Subassemblies: Body-1, two Arms -3. Powertrain: 450-lb. vectored super reactionless thruster; 30-kW nuclear power unit. Armor F RL B T U All: 4/32 4/32 4/32 4/32 4/32 Equipment: Body: Medium-range radio; two medium-range laser communicators; medium-range neutrino communicator; two 10-mile AESAs; 10-mile PESA; 5-mile multiscanner; transponder; inertial navigation system; C5 hardened, robotic, small computer (DX 10, IQ 8).
