I think we are getting mixed up and confused about the term "UAV".

The Mainstream folks are working "to develop an advanced heavy-fuel injection system for unmanned aircraft system (UAS) and unmanned ground system (UGS) applications."

I do not recall any liquids on the Argus unless it is H2 and O2 for fuel cells.

The confusion is the term "UAV". Presently in the Mil lingo the A stands for aircraft. Aircraft do not fly unless some power plant provides motion to move air across a "wing" (airfoil) of some sort. It takes a power plant to make it fly UP and Away.

In WSGI lingo, the A in UAV means airship like Argus One "airships". Huge differences. The airship will move UP and rise as high as it can based on the Bernoulli principle (I believe that is the correct physical principle). Let go of the roles and baby she is UP and Away. The need for a power plant (engine) is to make it move to stay "on station" or get to another location for what ever reason. "Engine power" technically not necessary to fly. No wings

I think the Germans are maybe using an engine of some sort to aid in lifting their airship to a higher altitude. Like shooting an arrow in the sky to get the right height so the Bernoulli can take over. The engine then probably is used to keep station when at altitude. No wings

Just my opinion.
