ARGUS Drones are small, disc-like, one meter wide aerial Drones equipped with ARGUS detection systems, which stay aloft by a single shrouded rotor.[1] They are also equipped targeting computers and one or more Lancet Micro-missiles.[2] Their function was to detect and occaisionally destroy explosives on motorways and in buildings.

They are likely named after the Argus Panoptes of Greek Mythology, a giant with a hundred eyes and servant of Hera. It killed the bull that ravaged Arcadia, which is also the name of a UNSC colony world, Arcadia.
