New Clone MAV said to work with SS-10

DDS sources are reporting a top-secret new Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is being fielded by the Clones as part of the SS-10 IRBM weapon system. The name of the MAV is unknown but is it highly advanced. It is said to be the size of a large insect and made mostly from transparent plastic. That plus a near silent duct fan propulsion means it is virtually undetectable.

The MAV operates after being launched near a future target of the SS-10 missile, such as a tank column or even an individual vehicle. The MAV is "tagged" with the target and then can stay within close proximity of the target (using a random flightpath to aid stealth) for up to 96 hours using a combination of a micro-plutonium powerpack and solar cells.

When a SS-10 missile approaches the target (within 100km) it emits a signal which the MAV detects, the MAV then begins transmitting course correcting data to the missile allowing the already highly accurate missile to hit even a fast moving target.

How the MAV is initially activated and delivered near the target is unknown but it could be done by special forces or even another larger drone which acts as a mothership.
