It was designed to land on its own if lost.

We delivered it by air.

The technical term is glide :)

On loss of power the drone glided to earth

What we don’t know is the glide ratio

So, if lost, it was designed to wind up in enemy hands in pristine condition?

Might call that a minor design flaw.
