The FDC-2 is meant to be an electronic warfare interdictor unit. One ton of armor was dropped compared to the FDC-1, for 13.5 tons total. The left arm features an LB 10-X autocannon within the claw, while two tons of ammo sit in the left torso. The 4 ER medium lasers from the -1 are retained in the left torso. The right torso houses an angel ecm suite, bloodhound active probe, and a MASC system. A compact gyro is used to free up enough space in the design for a supercharger in the center torso. Alternating between the two systems allows for consistent, low-risk ability to run 64.8 kph despite the weight of the shield, while activating both simultaneously boosts the max speed to 86.4 kph for short periods.
