Aerial Recon Drone (SWPD Model)

The Southowilson Police Department fields compact VTOL recon drones, about the size of a kitchen trash can, used for surveillance, suspect tracking, and high-risk entry support. Fitted with advanced optics suites, they can scout alleys, rooftops, or interiors in conditions that would blind human officers. Their mounted autoshotgun is less about precision and more about flexibility: a wide spread offsets the drone’s stability limits, while interchangeable ammo loads (breaching rounds, gas, beanbags, buckshot) allow it to serve both utility and suppression roles. Although armored and surprisingly resilient, these drones are still vulnerable to EMPs and electrical fires, making them expendable yet highly valued tools for SIOD and Maxtac operations.
