Right. Lots less energy to keep one light scout drone flying and keep the heavy ordinance on the ground not expending fuel as long as possible.

But I figure that by the time such an array is ever deployed that armored column would have its own armada of combat and scouting drones flying out ahead and protecting their flanks.

That array would work well against rebels and civilians as an area denial system though.
