I think that the Predator is far too big and far too fast. Next generation RPVs need to be tiny - very difficult to detect. And to fly low and slow, performing recon in support of the infantry at the squad level.

They have the Eagle Eye RPV out now - looks like an itty-bitty V-22 Osprey. It can go fast, or it can go low and slow, or even hover. It's not all that large, either.
