    its a pair of handheld jobs, due to be operated by forward ground troops.

    from what i recall they have a modular payload, so you could pick a magic mix of sensors to suit your needs. i'm not absolutely sure, but given their size i don't see them having a targetting capability - GPS or Laser - but i wouldn't be surprised to see that in an upgrade.

    short version is realtime imaging, day or night with 90 minute flight duration, great for Close Target Reece without the 'close' bit and correction of indirect fire - Mortar or Artillery.

    excellent idea.
