Evil Bear Combat Support Drone

Evil Bear brought out their Combat Support Drones a while back, I bought a wheeled version I think at Salute.

The kit comprised a hull, two sets of wheels and a remote controlled GPMG. The weapon mount is identical to the resin GPMG supplied with the Panther kit (together with an HMG) which will allow weapon swaps.

The hull has four front mounted sensors plus four sensors on the four corners.

Shown here providing fire support for advancing SAS operators.

Equipped with extensive day and night vision system, the drone can advance with troops or proceed in advance of troops. The stabilisation system allows it to fire while moving.
The four scanning sensors allow a degree of autonomy in movement.
 There is a winch on the rear of the hull, though I might consider it control cables as an alternative.



 This particular variant uses wheeled locomotion, Evil Bear have a tracked version armed with a heavy machine gun in the remote mount. There is space in the turret space to add magnets without having to make any changes to the model.
