Thanks for the Aerodynamics lesson, Talon, but you completely sidestepped my original reply to your comment.

You said that eliminating the pilot eliminated the drag of a bubble canopy, and I showed you a UAV with a bubble 'canopy' for a different purpose, negating any drag savings.

The rest of your hyperbole is irrelevant.

No, it does not negate the drag savings because the spot for that antenna, if removed, could not hold a pilot (and cockpit controls) larger than a 2 year old. A seated adult is taller than the whole front end of that UAV.
