Except that recon drones have such a short lifespan, with hunter/killer
drones and/or anti-recon lasers about, that they have to transmit
immediately.  There's some thought of putting sensors in artillery
shells,
since the drones aren't going to last much longer than the flight time
for
a shell anyway.

(That is...it's all PSB.  Pick your flavor and run with it).
