The Drillson is very heavy for a hover vehicle.  Much of this weight is invested in protection. The vehicle features six and half tons of ArcShield armor evenly spread across the tank, with somewhat stronger protection in the front and on the turret. This heavy protection, combined with the powerful armament, make the Drillson much more durable in combat than is usual with hover vehicles.  This survivabilty allows it to take part in the direct support of [[BattleMech]]s in combat.<ref name="TRO3026"/><ref name="TRO3026R"/><ref name="TRO3039"/>

The targeting systems available to Drillson crews almost equal BattleMech-standards, featuring a full 360° view of the battlefield and a direct connection with the turret-mounted Laser. <ref name="TRO3026"/><ref name="TRO3026R"/><ref name="TRO3039"/>
