AFAIK, military UAVs are designed primarily for military
surveillance. *Hopefully there won't be much call for that within U.S.
airspace. *That leaves training, which can be done in RAs or MOAs with
appropriate cautions issued. *I would expect the military to be pretty
careful about this. *The last thing they want is the kind of publicity
they would get from a UAV causing the crash of a civilian aircraft
with civilian deaths.

While I agree with your publicity comment, it appears this UAV will be a
civilian operation. The article implies the UAV in question will be used by
the Miami/Dade County police department in an experiment with the FAA.

Oops. I missed that sentence. Well I suppose one option would be to
put some really bright strobes on it, and keep it under 500 feet AGL.
