Not really. What would you roll as a defence die for a -1 or 0 signature
vehicle? I'm afraid that d12/Sig 1 is the best that can be got under
vanilla DS2.
(You could House Rule some sort of supertech d20 uber-stealth, I
suppose,
but that strikes me as a bit silly.)

I gather your Drones are actually combat vehicles? Interesting...the
only
drones we've used are little Size 1 VTOL Artillery Spotters. Very, very
effective force multipliers. No guns, though. (to ref back to another
thread, team an Ogre up w/ a drone or two. Deadly!)
