Ghost
A quiet, helicopter-style drone that small units carry for reconnaissance.
What does it actually do?
Ghost is a small autonomous helicopter drone that breaks down to fit in a backpack. Troops use it to look over the next hill, watch a base perimeter, or find targets, with little training. Ghost-X is the newer, more rugged version.
