I saw this on CNN todayon CNN today.

For months, US intelligence and military personnel in Iraq have been raising alarms about the risk to American forces from these newer, more sophisticated Iranian-made drones. Rather than being guided by a pilot from a remote location, some of these small, fixed-wing drones use GPS navigation, making them far less visible to US surveillance systems and impervious to jamming.

I understand how an independent guidance system is probably jam-proof, but how does using GPS make the drones less visible? Don't all military drones rely on GPS?
