Yes, that's true. I had just read that they were comparable to Switchblades but with a longer flight time, but hadn't seen the 6 hour thing, which makes them totally different than the Switchblade. So your original point stands that these will likely be able to attack well behind the front.
It's probably some kind of vertical take-off and landing drone with weapons integrated. It would be an interesting middle ground in terms of capability, price, and logistical requirements between something like a Switchblade and a full-fledged military drone.
