Konbanwa, High Command members,
My unmanned drone initiative has had its first two test runs.
First test run proved very informative as the camera's were working very efficiently and managed to record footage which included one hostile, and also an operative from an organisation that we have been monitoring for some time. Propulsion system was superb and manouveurability was also very accurate and clean. Negotiating the trade lanes was also quite good once the contolling officer got the hang of the controls. With the drone being very small it has limited scanner range to identify any possible targets or individuals, but its speed soon makes up for those flaws.
The second outing was more impressive, but the drone was alone the whole time and we managed to add enough communication protocols to its data banks, which will also be linked to the control system, so we can retrieve the information recorded.
So for now the drone seems ready for some serious missions around Kusari and its border regions. The drone has been fitted with emergency evasive protocols so if it is attacked it will do everything in its power to escape and also it can use autopliot mode if activated by the control pilot.
Over the coming weeks we will be programming more autopilot sequences to make the drone more self sufficient if the need arises. recordings are held within the drone in a secure Black Box Data sim, and can be retrieved directly by the operator to the State Police server or can be left alone until the drone returns safely. If the drone is attacked it will initiate protocols to evade, unless of course the operator uses manual controls.
If the drone is attacked and destroyed, its Black box has all of its protocols and identification stored within, so that this can be transferred to a new drone casing and everything concerning data is transferred. Once transferred the drone is basically itself again with all of the protocols from the last mission and all communication protocols added and it will continue its missions as if nothing happened.
This initiative will hopefully help us to track hostiles and work out their behaviour, and also to work out who we can trust and who we need to watch within our borders.
I hope High Command are pleased with this outcome, and I will keep you all informed about our missions.
