Well, who wouldn’t want one of these?
The RQ-11 is a pretty handy little tool for grunts on the ground. It’s just the thing for letting them see over the next ridge. Frankly, I’m a little surprised that every company in Afghanistan doesn’t have a couple.
But what do you do if your Raven finds a high value target? Why not strap some explosives to it? I’m not at all certain a 40mm grenade sized warhead is going to be enough. But a 60mm mortar warhead, or even better, and 81mm warhead would be just the ticket.

This is straight out of various first person shooter video game titles. The Western Coalition scout/suicide drone from Frontlines: Fuel of War comes to mind.
