Description
The Ferret Light Scout VTOL was first introduced to House Davion troops in 2904. The vehicle serves as an advance scout with the ability to monitor enemy troop movements and even radio in artillery strikes.
The vehicle is lightly armored and a hit from nearly any kind of 'Mech weaponry will destroy the Ferret. However, the Ferret's job is to avoid combat and to aid in that role is the addition of a superior targeting and tracking system, the IsBM Lantim. This system provides a heads-up display (HUD) that allows integration of up to fifteen remote sensors. The Ferret can therefore monitor even somewhat distant areas via those remote sensors.
The Ferret can also provide infantry transport and deployment. The vehicle can carry up to one squad of infantry which allows it to forward-deploy small infantry units quickly.
Armament
The Ferret is armed with a MainFire MiniGun, intended for use only against the occasional infantry forces it may encounter. In its primary role as a scout and forward observer, the Ferret will rarely, if ever, encounter 'Mech forces directly.
Variants
- Armor - Many undocumented variants exist as crews modify their Ferrets for their individual needs. The most common type of variant involves removing the infantry transport abilities of the craft in favor of increased armor. BV (1.0) = 54
- Cargo - Another variant does the opposite, removing all of the armor and increasing the cargo carrying capacity to 2.75 tons without reducing performance at all and to 7.75 tons while reducing the performance to fifty percent. BV (1.0) = 1, BV (2.0) = 17
