Can it re-dock with the parent drone after its mission?

This is essentially the drone version of the WWII Japanese bomber, where the bomb itself also had a human pilot.

For both the human piloted flying bomb and the drone release, its a one way trip.

The FPV will explode to knock out the recon drone, to my knowledge.
