Submersible Weapons Systems

Overview

Submersible Weapon Systems (aka SWS), are amphibious HWPs. They can be employed in a variety of roles. From scouting, providing support fire to throwing themselves into the line of fire to protect Aquanauts.

The first three SWS are built on the half-track Coelacanth chassis. These heavy platforms stick to the sea bed. The last two SWS are the Displacers. These units are fitted with Ion Beam Accelerator technology that allow total mobility in and out of water. They are also the only X-Com controlled units that can fly on land.

The five different SWS units available are:

• Coelacanth/Gas Cannon
• Coelacanth/Aqua Jet
• Coelacanth/Gauss
• Displacer/Sonic
• Displacer/PWT
