Manta UCAV

A UCAV flying over a mountain range.

"A small, disposable, ship-launched combat drone. These are designed to be sent into dangerous zones where they are not expected to survive."

― Mission Editor Description

The Manta UCAV is a hostile Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle. It is launched from the enemy's own Drone Carrier. This unit is a viable unit option for easy defense or even being sent into hazardous areas where they would not be expected to survive. As such, it is commonly utilized in offensive contexts for combat support, or even just as a simple diversion. It is identifiable on the Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) as DF.

Despite being designed to be launched from Drone Carriers, Manta UCAVs can be spawned individually in the Mission Editor, though they cannot be spawned on the ground like other fighters. Additionally, individually-spawned UCAVs are able to be equipped with up to four Air-to-Ground Missiles.

Armament

• 1x Gun Slot:
  • EUCAV GUN - "EUCAV GUN" Seems to be a generic machine gun.
• 4x External pylons:
  • UCAV GMA-14 Launcher - "Single air-to-ground missile [for the] UCAV." These will never appear on the Drone Carrier's UCAV subunits.
