Anvil
A small interceptor drone that knocks hostile drones out of the sky by ramming them.
What does it actually do?
Anvil is a fast quadcopter that flies into enemy drones to destroy them, rather than using explosives. Lattice spots the threat and cues Anvil, and a human authorizes the intercept. Anvil-M is a munition variant.
