	'''Drones''' are unmanned reconnaissance and support platforms, representing experimental prototypes, if X-COM chooses to do so they can invest resources in acquiring and manufacturing this devices for field work. Their small size, decent armour and health make them surprisingly survivable, and their rapid speed allows them to excel in recon work. They lack any meaningful offensive weaponry. Drones can be upgraded to make usage of certain secondary items as research progresses.
