gremlin drone

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used in the military that is launched from an airplane rather than from the ground. Gremlin drones are designed to provide advance intelligence that is immediately sent back to fighter planes en route. The objective is to target the enemy's initial land defenses more accurately and open a clear path to the destination target. See UAV and gremlin.
