I'm sure I wasn't the first one to want to arm and RC vehicle.

I worked on the Aquila, (an early Remote Piloted Vehicle for the Army). It had a camera, and we all wanted to give it a 50 cal with a few shells. Boresight with the camera and give the operator a trigger. (Not enought payload capacity for a missile, but we were working on this in '84.

Aren't the AF and Navy working on a ground-up armed UAV?

I've also heard that the Israelis have a cruise missle that drops short ranged anti-radiation missles along a pre-set path.
