But you ambush them first. Pow! Good point Joe, but you could also use that against them by throwing it from the middle of a set-up ambush, they follow it back and get ready to ambush you.

Concealed observers can watch the vehicle's path and then get a fix on YOU! Perhaps a user variable pattern can be employed to have the UAV land nearby, but not exactly at the point of origin.

Although I would have thought it would be better to have 1 drone between 5 people and have it real-time loiter than 1 drone for 1 person. Still useful though.
