Just curious what the QP's here, past and present, think of something like this TAC-UAV.

Would something like this be beneficial for an ODA/LRRP/LRSU team?
Could you see this helping or hurting the team. Would something like this work in the jungles or a heavily forested area, or the hills and mountains of A-stan?
I think it'd be helpful. It could save a lot of shoe leather from having to look over the next rise/hill/mountain. It's small and light enough to be carried by one man, and has a fairly good range, with some excellent optics/cameras on board.
What would be the best application of this, if it was picked up by the teams?
Personally, I can't wait for something like this to hit the civvie market, to be used in a SAR type job. Looking for a lost hiker or looking down into a ravine.
Here's a pic of what one looks like in comparison to a person.
