Sourcebook Description
- With the advent of powered armor as a viable battlefield weapon, a problem has appeared: no AV or helicopter is really powerful enough to haul a full squad of PA suits! Even the monster S-M Dragon only carries 4 tons, barely enough for five Arasaka Standard-B suits (or three Boris suits), and the AV-9 can only fit two Militech Commandos! Since the normal U.S. Army PA squad is four 800kg suits and a 1500kg "Pigman," the Army commissioned Bell to build the UH-10 Powered Armor Personnel Carrier. Mitsubishi/Arasaka is also selling this carrier under commercial license.
In tight spots where the helicopter cannot land to deploy the suits, the PAs either jump (using jump jets or parafoils to slow them), or are lowered by winch.[1] - Special Equipment: Auto-pilot and Nav systems, Ejection seats x2, Chaff and Flare dispensers, IR baffling, Military radio, Optics w/Image-enhancement Telescopics and Low-light, Thermograph, Laser/Radar detectors, Military radar.
- Weapons: None[1]
