The OSKAR's history (from the Wave description):
It is October, 2885. Having triumphed in operation Super Hammer, the Strahl were moving rapidly forward with their conversion of the units assigned to the Earth conflict to a completely unmanned force. Despite having gained control of space, it was clear that the conflict would continue to expand. The development and deployment of further unmanned weapons was essential to boosting the power of their limited forces currently deployed.
Acknowledging the reconnaissance abilities of their principal bipedal tank the Kurote, the Weapons Division of the Strahl Defense Forces Headquarters sought to develop a new version which matched the current one's weaponry and defensive capabilities, while at the same times boosting its reconnaissance ability, effective range and maximum mission duration.
The answer created by their Engineering Division was an unmanned vehicle best described as a simplified version of the Neuspotter, employing the hover technology already in wide use among their armored vehicles, together with the same sensor array employed on the Neuspotter. Because of this, the Neuspotter's nearly silent propulsion technology was abandoned, but in trade the machine had a significantly greater payload capability, allowing the mounting of weaponry far heavier than the Neuspotter's light guns. Since the original concept was for a combat/reconnaissance unit, it's noise during movement was never really considered to be a problem. Rather the fact that it could be built for roughly 1/3 the cost of the Neuspotter while retaining the same reconnaissance ability was the focus of attention. As a result, 15 prototypes were built and tested, and following testing the type entered mass production in nearly record time. Protected by 100mm of hardened armor and 20mm of hybrid super ceramics, it was armed with a twin 40mm rocket tube with auto loader, and named "Oskar."
10 prototypes and 50 secondary prototypes went into service in North American and Australia in October of 2885, but the low dependability of the auto-loader mechanism led to the development and deployment of a heavier armed version mounting a linear gun
