== Description ==<br />
<br />
Unlike more sophisticated autonomous robotic drones, a Remote Drone Operating System requires human control of the unit which equips it.<br />
This remote control system has a limited range on planetary surfaces of about 80km (unless supplemented by satellites), while aerospace-based<br />
control systems have a range of 3,000,000km. A unit mounting the Remote Drone Operating System must be paired with<br />
a controller console such as the [[Drone Carrier Control System (Remote)|CCS (Remote)]] which will provide the controlled unit with guidance.<br />
<br />
If the drone exceeds the control range, or if hostile ECM interferes with the signal, the controlled drone becomes immobile and inactive.<br />
<br />
The mass of the system is 10% of the equipped unit's mass, plus 0.5 tons for additional communications equipment.<br />
Remote Drones incur additional penalties on piloting checks and indirect fire, spotting, and fire while spotting.<br />
