The Point Defense Drone is a small, immobile aerial drone that is deployed by the Raven. The drone will shoot down any nearby projectiles using a red laser at a cost of 10 energy per shot. This means the drone can intercept 20 projectiles immediately. The drone regenerates 1 energy per second, meaning at best it can shoot down 37 projectiles over its 180 second life, or 43 with the Durable Materials upgrade.

Weapons such as the Marine's rifle will not be destroyed by the Point Defense Drone, but missiles and other large projectiles will. This is a list of all units and buildings that the Point Defense Drone is effective against:

• Terran
  • Marauders
  • Vikings (Lanzer Torpedoes but not Twin Gatling Cannon)
  • Banshees
  • Battlecruisers (ATS Laser Battery and ATA Laser Battery but not Yamato Cannon)
  • Thors (Javelin Missile Launchers but not Thor's Hammer or 250mm Strike Cannons)
  • Missile Turrets
  • Reapers (D-8 Charges but not P38 Scythe Gauss Pistol)
• Protoss
  • Stalkers
  • Phoenix
  • Photon Cannons
• Zerg
  • Queens (Acid Spines but not Claws)
  • Mutalisks
  • Corruptors
  • Hydralisks
  • Spore Crawlers
