Yes, but then they couldn't be remote-controlled. They would have to be
autonomous and able to navigate, spy, hide and evade without human
intervention. This should be doable with AI, but greatly increased the
complexity of the little drone. Smart dust or the relaying of messages from
multiple drones to one outside might work around this.
