==Overview:==
Intelligence-gathering is a major part of any war. In the early years
the Succession Wars, the only units that could accurately gather informatio
were scout 'Mechs such as Stingers or Wasps. Though orbital intelligence wa
the most effective means of gaining information, it was often defeated by e
jamming systems or the simpler method of attacking the scanning DropShip.
Many military vehicle manufacturers accurately predicted that the 'Mec
would soon become a costly war tool, and that scout 'Mechs would be the mos
expensive. This was because the scout 'Mechs would always be assigned the m
dangerous situations and thus would suffer the highest attrition rates.
ScolTeck decided early on to produce the most effective scout vehicle possi
Devoting all possible resources to developing sensor systems, Scol-Teck
released the Hi-Scout Drone Carriers in the year 3000.
In the year 3067 Dzerhezinsky revisited this idea and improved upon it
==Capabilities:==
The DH6 is the best detection unit available. With its QDCOM x7
Communications System, the DH6 can find and identify enemy units on almost
part of a planet without being detected itself. Its maximum detection range
60 kilometers, although the use of the vehicle's drone sensor units may
increase this range. The DH6 has infrared, seismic, sound, motion, radio,
radar, and hyperpulse detection systems.
The DH5 and DH6 Sensor Drones use some of the most complex communicati
equipment ever developed. The DH5's sensor range is 10 kilometers, and the
DH6's sensor range is 20 kilometers.
The DH Series drone uses an external rotor system, one of the most
simplistic lift systems available in the Inner Sphere. The DH5 is a light l
drone, similar in design to the DH6, except that it has a less powerful
detection systems. The DH Series also contains normal communications system
that enable it to transmit over 500 different channels, using all of them a
the same time.
Something unique to the DH Series is the addition of a limited weapons
payload capability. The DH5 can carry 1 ton of munitions, where the DH6 can
carry 1.5 tons of munitions. This payload is usually rocket pods, but recen
the NUSSR has begun testing an air deployed laser guided Arrow IV bomb drop
by the drones as Close Air Support. It seems the 1 ton payload is more then
capable of carrying this bomb without lose of speed or capability.
If this proves capable and cost effective we are sure that the Armed
Forces of the NUSSR will begin deploying DH Series Drones on a regular base
==Variants:==
The open payload design allows for mutiple configurations.
==Deployment==
Still in post development and field testing.

Sorry for any fluff text crops. HMPro seems to do that alot to me.
