That would be easy, but would require all sorts of ordnance safety procedures, yadda, yadda. You could make it a charge that you only load in a combat zone and arm just like the other ordnance, at the end of the runway.

Another issue is the propensity of these UAVs to crash on recovery. I hope this one is easier to land than the predator series.
