Description
The Spindrift is an Experimental undersea SecurityMech which was produced by Bowie Industries’ prototype fabrication line on Carlisle in beginning of the Jihad. The initial design uses the chassis of a heavily modified Iroquois Harvester AgroMech as a base.
By 3077, Bowie had deployed two lances of the Spindrift for evaluation. The 'Mech was designed to combat opponents underwater. On land, it is nearly defenseless.
Armament & Capacities
The Spindrift is principally armed with a right torso mounted Six-tubed Short Range Torpedo launcher with one ton of ammunition. In the left torso, the 'Mech has an Extended Range Small Laser. These weapons are tied into a Advance Fire Control system to allow military precision in targeting opponents.
Boeing employs a patchwork of different types of armor for protection and evaluation. While normal Heavy Commercial Armor is employed in the rest of the 'Mech. The side torsos are been fitted with a half-ton of Laser Reflective Armor each. A half ton of Reactive Armor has fitted in each arm, this is to test their use underwater. The pilot and the 'Mech's core systems are fitted with Environmental Sealing and BattleMech HarJel in its center torso.
The 'Mechs 120 rated Fusion engine powers the 'Mech and allows for its Experimental UMU propulsion units to drive the 'Mech to 43.2 kph underwater.
