Description: Based off the venerable BARC, this one-man reconnaissance craft with a saddle-like seat open cockpit design made the driver especially vulnerable to sniper fire, a notable flaw that was not corrected in the newer model due to the low costs and good visibility of the battlefield which were seen to made up for these shortcoming.
Each unit is equipped with (4) Blaster cannons it make the craft a formidable anti-infantry unit. It's battlefield prowess is also not limited to infantry as a group of five ARS's could easily overpower a single light tank if needed.
This unit is now used heavily by recon companies and artillery companies to scout targets.
