In R2, drones are considered vehicles just as cars are. So in the wording
there's nothing that keeps a rigger from using a smartlink in a drone (or
even a remote piloted car). In fact, considering the way remote decks work
(transmitting such vast amounts of data through the air) I don't think it'd
be a concern to wonder if Smartlinks work on drones. So, yes.
