I read about a drone that is launched out of a tube. It's only 24" long and is used as a battlefield soldiers weapon. Contact fused with a couple pounds of C4 or whatever they use nowadays. It's called a switchblade as the wings fold up for launching from a pretty small tube. It has a camera in the nose that an individual soldier can pick out what target they want to engage, 2-3 mile range IIRC. This stuff is amazing for an old sci fi fan. Except the killing part of course.
