The technologies associated with UAS (they are not "drones", which are targets:
History Tuesday: The Origin of the term Drone | Intercepts | Defense News) are leaping ahead faster than Moore's Law.
A friend of mine and soon to be partner in UAS demonstrated an 11 miles plus range with a small quad rotor last week to Office of Naval Research.
