Huh.

That's actually really interesting.

I have this vision of a large mother UAV with long loiter times that can laser target micro UAVs at much lower altitudes.

Definitely feasible if your mothership is a dirigible using gas turbines to power itself, using laser spotbeams to target drones below for providing remote power.
