Esteemed Mr. Bontrager,

The proposed idea has been discussed with the Board of Directors. If you were so kind as to provide us with the blueprints of said floaters in order to guarantee that we meet your standards and not that of some derivative, we could start concipating a weapon system that could be mounted thereon. Depending on its sturdiness and the situation of its employment, our engineers had already had several ideas on which weaponry might be suited to be mounted on these.

Of course, given that the weapon will be employed in urban environments, we discarded the idea of heavy artillery and bunker-busters rather quickly — after all, one does not need a bludgeon where a knife would be sufficient. The most popular idea seemed to have been a remote-controlled light recon and scout unit armed with rapidly-firing EM-Pulse weapons, similar to shockblasters employed by some police forces to subdue opponents rather than harm them. Additionally, several sensor and recording devices could be installed to further enhance this unit's ability to effectively support law enforcement units on the ground by giving valuable intel. Probably not a shield array, but that would depend on the floater's ability to lift a powersource that could sustain the output. I highly doubt this will be possible, however

This unit would probably not be able to win anything on its own, but as far as we have gathered, it is only supposed to compliment only existing ground units. The envisioned unit would be able to suppress an opponent long enough for police units to close in and ensnare the adversary. Of course, the EM-Pulse weaponry could just as easily be switched out with any one small-caliber ballistic or energy weapon, the latter might be a problem for the same reason as the shield array.
