Description:
Intro:

Slay’s Expedited Drone System lets the player quickly and efficently launch a drone without the headache of having a soldier set up ready for the job, which becomes a task. This sidesteps all of that, lets the player toss the drone into the sky from their pocket, much like games like Ghost Recon Wildlands. And as a bonus, the player can revive their friendlies using the revive mechanics of the medical drones, fight off enemies with the "placeable" UCAV, defend your perimeter with a Darter armed Super Drone, or perhaps lay down some carpet bombing with the the De-mining Drone (Combat Drone in the menu).
This mod is super lightweight and will work on most missions, and works with vanilla & vanilla revive.

Backstory:

Slay’s Expedited Drone System formally known as Slay’s Ghost Recon Wildlands Inspired Drones (SGRWD), is a script I made heavily inspired by Ghost Recon Wildlands drones. Remembered for their ability to revive teammates and provide useful information, I recreated this for Arma 3. (No mods, models, or extra mods required)

I did this mod ages ago for a mission I created called "Slay’s Ravage". It’s been a key component since the start of the mission back in 2016. It felt like a crime to leave it stuck inside there –in a mission unseen by most– so I’m pulling parts of it out and putting them on workshop as stand-alone mods.

Features:

Player can spawn most drones, uavs, ucavs, and a few custom made ones.

Player can revive friendlies (Using vanilla Arma 3 Revive Mechanics[community.bistudio.com])

Players can use a few custom armed dones, as well as an armed UGV.

Custom Interface with multiple options.

Usage & Controls:

You must bind Custom User Action 16 to open the drone menu now!
Press 6 in game.

Player MUST have a UAV terminal to utilize the mod.

Drones can only be used for 3 minutes max.
