This is a drone which is conformal or integral to the shape of an artillery shell. It separates at a predetermined altitude and sends BDAs (Bomb Damage Assessments) back to the origin, allowing them to self-correct.
Similar to the kits that are added to dumb bombs, wings spring out of the released
PiggyBack Drone (PBD) and it uses the energy from the falling shell to glide while it does its reconnaissance. A small warhead could be integrated if further offensive capability is desired, or if it is prudent to destroy the unit before capture.
The PiggyBack Drone frees FPV drones to carry out offensive missions and recon drones to cover more ground after the initial target spotting is handed over to the barrel artillery unit, where their own staff runs the PBDs.

I'd have it shoot out the back with a small charge. Maybe have it rocket powered enough to get it to a dead stop while its propellers deploy. |

I think this is patentable. [+] |

//get it to a dead stop//
The props themselves will work fine for slowing. Could get away with a spring-deploy to get some quick initial distance from the "mothership". |

You'll do better attaching a parachute you can drop when at low speed, it will save the energy of slowing down. |
