As you know, the advances in drone technology have been driven by the amazing advances in sensor technology, especially in capability to sense directed mission sets with a huge decrease in space, weight and power requirements.
Two of our/my drones are on top of the Fukushima reactor because it was the safe, effective method to get the radiation measurements needed without putting people in harms way.
That is the real advantage...in sensing, sniffing, jamming, targeting, etc.
Getting them there is the key.
