Base jumping is viable from even a few hundred feet... A highly mobile aerial approach platform that could let troops parachute down at sub-radar heights before auto-piloting off wouldn't necessarily need much range to make sense as a special ops tool.
I'm thinking about mountain ranges in Afghanistan and military installations with too-obvious ground approaches. This unit looks like it could be smuggled in an SUV.
