Description
The size of a normal combat torpedo, the Neptune is intended for use with submarines that cannot go into shallow waters. Originally intended for deep-water nuclear submarines, which needed to avoid coastlines for fear of losing their stealth, the submersible drone would close in to either observe or drop off sensor packages to maintain surveillance. Several models have been used in minesweeper missions, but the level of control needed for those operations becomes a problem. While older models have ended up in private hands, the demand for them is simply not there because the ability to control a drone underwater is limited, for emanating a signal to control it, or any signal at all, is verboten in submarine operations. Some corporations use Neptunes as security for arquacologies and floating bases, where broadcasting a signal is not dangerous because the underwater facilities themselves are not hidden.
