Pulse Drone
Pulse Drones are utility drones which can appear in all types of mission at mission difficulty 2 and higher. They have no vision, but can detect agents with their Pulse Scanner, which they use at the start of their movement on every enemy turn.
Pulse Drones are found in the Contingency Plan DLC.

Despite having no vision under enemy control, hacked Pulse Drones still provide full 360° vision to the agency.
Pulse Drones can still “see” an agent on exactly the same tile as themselves, and become alerted if they do. Due to a bug in the game, Pulse Drones also “see” the two adjacent tiles in “front” of them when they are moving diagonally, or when they are “facing” diagonally after their movement:

Pulse Scanner
At the beginning of their movement during each enemy turn, a Pulse Drone performs a scan to detect nearby agents.
The Pulse Scanner also detects a rescued Courier or Prisoner, but not agency-controlled drones. The scan detects a unit even if they are knocked-out or lethally-wounded. Pulse Drones do not scan while controlled by the agency.
