This disclosure generally relates to the use of solid fuel rockets with drone aircraft. Solid fuel tanks can be mounted to a Drone, for example, the underside of the drone. They may be built similar to guided missiles and once they complete their task they may detach from the drone and, in embodiments, equipped with all components found on guided missiles, i.e., guidance Section, control section, wings and fins, they may return to point of origin. In other embodiments, they may be deployed as missiles or remain attached to the drone.
