In March 2883, the Shutoral National Defence Force ordered the Weapon Development Service to produce a high power driver-less reconnaissance weapon. Development and production fell behind due to a change for the worse of the war situation, and a shortage of antigravity equipment. It was not until the end of September 2884, that the Shutoral forces actually began to produce the driver-less weapon with fine computer, seeker, and reconnaissance gear, as well as being highly mobile. This new driver-less weapon, Neuspotter, was rated high on reconnaissance capability and stealth, and was soon in wide demand. Unfortunately, the number produced was always lacking because of the production of the PKA, which took precedence over the Neuspotter. This limited the Neuspotters to a few, superior forces. The Neuspotter was built on an anti-gravity module, and could achieve speeds of up to 230 kph. In addition, it had a rocket booster in case it needed to make an urgent get-away. The lower part of the fuselage contained an armoured sphere which was where the main analysis memory unit was stored. This was armoured to such a degree that it could remain intact even when the rest of the unit was destroyed. It would then be picked up by plane. While their number was always lower than that required, with the amount of electronic warfare that they contained, most seemed to come back from battle in one piece. However, the Neuspotter did have one major set back. Because Shutoral anti-gravity technology had some side effects, the Neuspotter gave off harmful pulses to the human body, which caused more than a few problems for the maintenance and repair crews that had to service the machines.
