UAVs in real life are often controlled similarly to a video game, with a pilot operating the craft from a remote location. They are mostly used for reconnaissance and observation, though some UAVs, like the Predator model, come equipped with air-to-ground missiles.
In most video games, UAVs serve their observational role by revealing enemy positions on a radar. It's important to kill them for this reason, and you might find you're shooting down more enemy UAVs than helicopters.
