==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Mantis''' light attack VTOL is produced by the most prolific creator of [[VTOL]]s, [[Michaelson Heavy Industries]]. Still a prototype in [[3060]], the Mantis is incredibly fast and capable of dealing great damage for its size. It also carries two and a half tons of armor, a significant amount for a fifteen-ton vehicle. It is also an incredibly capable scout as it carries a [[Beagle Active Probe]] and [[Guardian ECM Suite]].<ref name=TRO:3060/>

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
 
Capable of delivering a hail of lasers that cannot be ignored, the Mantis is armed with five [[Diverse Optics]] [[ER Small Laser]]s. The [[Federated Suns]] company decided to import the lasers after discovering how easy it was to import weapons from the [[Free Worlds League]] in the form of the [[Light Gauss Rifle]] that Michaelson armed the [[Hawk Moth]] with.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

*; ECCM : An [[Technology Rating|Advanced Technology]] variant of the Mantis was introduced during the [[Jihad]]. This Mantis was outfitted as an advanced scout and electronic warfare-type aircraft. All the craft's armaments and equipment were removed for a second [[Guardian ECM Suite]], a [[C3 slave unit|C3 slave computer]], and a [[Mast Mount]]. The vehicle's armor and speed were increased due to the inclusion of an [[XL fusion engine]]. BV (2.0) = 304<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 14</ref>
