A Munitions Payload Delivery System (MPDS) is provided. One embodiment of the MPDS comprises a multi-rotor drone configured to carry a munition in the form of a HEDP linear-shaped charge or Armor Piercing munition or other-shaped munition. The drone, in one embodiment, includes a camera that provides a remote operator with a real-time video feed so the operator can pilot the drone to a specific target on a battlefield. Once a target is selected, the operator ignites the munition by flying the drone into the target, landing the drone on the target, or activating a radio fire button. In one embodiment, each of these mechanisms closes a switch on board the drone connecting a voltage to a blasting cap inside the payload.
