TBH I am a bit far from the front line now (Gott sei dank!) and not sure how practical it would be to get a visual on a small target early enough to set up a high-speed, v close pass. There might also be the possibility of exposing a very valuable asset to grunt fire, which is never good! Any upset might only be transitory depending on the sophistication of the device, unlike a helicopter!

I would have thought that the Israeli computer-controlled small arms system might have merit.
