D7 Hummingbird
The "Hummingbird" is a modified grenade printer that fires explosive smart-drones effective against enemy aircraft. The visor will lock onto enemy vehicles within range, and throwing a drone will place it on an interceptor course with the target. Drones may also be dumbfired without a lock-on.

The D7 Hummingbird is a weapon available to the Defector. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash

The D7 Hummingbird is a variant of the Grenade Printer. In exchange for a slight loss in direct damage against ground targets, the Hummingbird can be locked onto any targets (ground or air), tracking them precisely until they hit their target.

Unlike most ground-based lock-on weaponry, the Hummingbird does not require the use of an optic to lock onto a target. Simply looking at a valid target at any time will begin a lock-on.

It is worth noting that: The lock-on time of this weapon is about half of the infantry rocket launcher.(need more test)
