I totally disagree with this concept. As BlackTail said, properly fighting your vehicle while directing a UAV (even with a dedicated crewmen) is a waste of an asset. Loitering UAVs of the type above have such great distance that they should live with artillery.(16/n) UVision Air Hero loitering munitions integrated with Boxer and Lynx.

Additionally a dedicated vehicle capable of launching at least 12 should be developed. As part of a combined arms team it would be a TERRIFIC asset.
Push it down to Tanks/IFVs, hell even infantry is a waste. Those units fight close (from my seat close in the modern era is about ... 5 miles and in?). Artillery is for the deep fight. 60km? That's getting deep....isn't that further than a standard 155mm round can fly?
