Gathering information equals gathering ammunition on a modern battlefield, and while throughout most of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] scouting duties were performed by 'Mechs (such as the ''[[Locust]]'' or the ''[[Stinger]]''), fast vehicles or satellite-systems, the Hi-Scout provides an alternative that is less susceptible to enemy countermeasures.<ref name=TR26>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', p. 84</ref> The vehicle's sensor suite includes infrared, seismic, sound, motion, radio, radar and hyperpulse to detect any unit within sixty kilometers. It also comes with a 15-ton drone hangar capable of housing 3 NapFind hover [[Drones (Recon Combat Vehicle)|Drones]] and 3 PathTrack tracked drones. The StealthMat-Q Communications with MultiTrack Coordination system is able to transmit and monitor over 500 channels simultaneously, and allows each Hi-Scout to control its fleet of drones. The drones act in coordination with each other and their mother vehicle to create a "sensor chain", increasing the vehicle's detection range by over one hundred percent. The only downside to the system is that unusually-high amounts of background radiation can interfere with the MultiTrack system.<ref name=TR26/> The Hi-Scout serves as a ground-based early-warning network for less important planets and, if it came to an invasion, as a communications and reconnaissance asset for the planetary defenders. Slow and lightly armored, the Hi-Scout was not built for direct combat, instead proving to be one of the most specialized, and effective, scout vehicles in existence before the recovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] or the [[Clan Invasion]] and the subsequent development of newer [[C3 network]] technology. Its tracking and communication systems were superior to anything other than a specialized command 'Mech or dedicated C³-complex at its time.<ref name=TR26/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Armed with only a single [[SRM-2]] and one ton of ammo, the Hi-Scout needed to be protected against both detection and enemy fire. Five and a half tons of ArcShield armor offered token protection against enemy scouts, but everything beyond a light hovercraft was surely beyond its capabilities.<ref name=TR26/> ==Drones== *; PathTrack : The PathTrack was a tracked, three-ton drone common aboard Hi-Scouts. It packed a sensor load of 0.75 tons and reached speeds of up to 129 km/h. A half ton of armor mainly served to protect it from the environment, but the great mobility and high data output made it the backbone of the Hi-Scout's drone contingent. It had a sensor range of twenty kilometers, using infrared, seismic, sound and motion detectors, and was able to intercept enemy radio communications. *; NapFind : The NapFind was a hover-based, two-ton drone aboard the Hi-Scout. A sleek and incredibly fast hover drone, it lacked the sophisticated listening devices of its greater cousin and only had a sensor range of ten kilometers, but retained the same sensor package and used its incredible speed of up to 400 km/h to quickly reconnoiter the enemy.
