The BattleTac IVIS system is described on R3 p43.

Am I correct to think that one rigger could have multiple IVIS pools active
at a time? For example, I order drones 1, 2, and 3 to attack an enemy and
generate an IVIS pool for those three drones. I then order drones 4 and 5
to guard a mage and generate a second IVIS pool. Finally, I order drone 6
to carry a box to safety and generate a third IVIS pool. As long as all
three drone groups continue to perform their tasks, all three IVIS pools
continue to exist. Right?


Also, will an IVIS pool continue to exist if I disaffiliate a drone? Say I
order a drone to fly back to my home, then as it is leaving I disaffiliate
it. Does it continue to benefit from the IVIS pool?

No.You can only have one IVIS pool and then you
distribute it as you like among the drones.

So if I issue a command to a group of three drones, only those drones can
benefit from the IVIS pool and my other three drones get no benefit?
