China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has released images of an in-service BZK-005 MALE that has been specifically configured for wide-area ISR missions... for firefighting
...the air vehicle's ISR payloads, comprising a ventral EO/IR turret and an undernose synthetic aperture radar (SAR) pod, enabled army planners to pinpoint hotspots obscured by the blanket of thick smoke in the afflicted area...
...IECAS has been engaged in domestic SAR technology research and development since the early 2000s and has successfully commercialised the D3000 family of multifunction UAV SAR payloads. According to the institute, D3000-series payloads have volumetric weights of between 5-100 kg and are designed to cover the Ka-, Ku-, X-, C-, and L-bands, enabling fixed-wing or rotary UAVs to perform a broad range of air-to-surface search and detect tasks including inverse SAR (InSAR) imaging, ground moving target indication (GMTI), spotlight-mode radar imaging, strip-mapping, as well as wide area search.

· 5 Expand RPAs mission sets to include close air support. MQ-9 capabilities and tactics have reached a stage where planners need to rethink allocation for key missions, especially close air support. RPAs have transformed both the amount of firepower they bring to bear on the battlefield and the speed at which this ordnance can be delivered. Despite this, the MQ-9 is still predominantly regarded across the Air Force as an ISR asset, and rarely incorporated into CAS scenarios. According to one Air and Space Power Journal article, a mission ISR plan “is completed on a different timeline by different people in a different division in the [Air and Space Operations Center] and published in a different document. If CAS and ISR integrate, they do so by luck.” While not all CAS scenarios are appropriate for MQ-9s, military planners should embrace an effects-based perspective and try to minimize platform-centric bias.
...
Today, fighters and bombers are no longer the only option for mass strike, and RPAs are no longer just airborne sniper rifles. RPAs can effectively conduct CAS, particularly with small ground team elements like SOF units. These two considerations alone should cause US military leaders to rethink American force posture for the fight against violent extremist organizations.
