Default owl with no eyes?

Have you ever been in the battle field and get shot at..?
this is not a "glider", but a test design of a powered Unmanned Arial
Vehicle (UAV) based on a glider design with an engine attached.. the "test
pilot" was there as a safety pilot..

There are dozen's of UAV designs and sizes, each with their own "combat
mission" and used every day to collect information on the battle field.. and
to keep the ground based operator with remote controlled sensors out of
harms way.

Thankfully the pilot is OK, but for me, another ship in the skies to
avoid is one thing, a glider without a pilot is technology without
need. Can someone explain to me the benefit of this weapon?
