  The drone dropped the payload. That’s what makes it gravity operated.

    My point was just if the pilot was going to die you said use a drone. If the pilot were going to die it would imply whatever delivers the gravity falling weapon is destroyed from being to close. So it is a one time delivery sustem much like a missile cassing instead of a drone which flies away and is re-usable.

      That’s called a loitering munition.
