===Aerial Mine===
The '''DX-13 Aerial Mine''' is an [[Air Caste]] drone that uses advanced [[AI]] technology. Given limited self-initiative, the drone hovers in the air, scanning the sky and receiving tracking information from Tau commanders on the ground. It has limited maneuverability and can change its altitude to meet incoming aircraft. Used as an area denial weapon, when an enemy aircraft is detected the drone will move towards the target and detonate. These mines are most often deployed from [[Tiger Shark]] aircraft.{{Fn|2424a}}[[Image:DX13.jpg|thumb|center|120px|Aerial Mine DX-13{{Fn|2424a}}]]

====CL-31 Technical Drone====
The CL-31 Technical Drone is unarmed and unarmored and lacks many higher brain function of combat models. It is used by [[Air Caste]] pilots as part of the ground crew, providing both technical support in pre-mission aircraft preparation and post-mission data analysis.{{Fn|24b}}
====DX-4 Technical Drone====
The '''DX-4 Technical Drone''' is used by Tau commanders and Fire Warrior teams on the battlefield as a mobile engineering unit. In place of weaponry each Technical Drone carries repair and sensor equipment, and can be used to fix damaged or destroyed equipment in the field.{{Fn|7a}}
