Modular Exploratory Drone Fleet
The Modular Exploratory Drone Fleet is a drone arsenal designed for deep cave exploration and operations. The arsenal consists of two main components, the Mothership and the distributive drones.
The Mothership is the central communication hub of the fleet, and can carry two distributive drones on board. When the Mothership reaches a location in the cave where it cannot explore further, the distributed drones are deployed to continue collecting data.
This fleet system works to relay captured data back to the user to provide real time information that enables scientists to analyze the areas being researched.
