Hi KBuss888,
OWL's SNARC was destroyed because it was approaching or on an intercept or collision course with the Rakurai.
I think the assault shuttle ought to have the volume to carry whatever is needed for the project, ans well as the range or fuel etc.
If a stealthed shuttle, which it identified as friendly like the recon skimmers, did not have an intercept vector the OBS might ignore it, unless all escape trajectories vehicles are to be destroyed.
We don't know whether the assault shuttle would be seen as friend or foe by the Rakurai, since it might have been told all of the 'good' ones had been destroyed, so any it sees are to be destroyed.
Since there's only one in the cave, losing it could be catastrophic for any future operations where it might come in handy, so if exposing it without knowing it's safe, the odds of any use becomes remote.
Granted the OBS seeing the shuttle as hostile is unlikely, given the recon skimmers are seen as friendly NTM the air bus, but such a twist from RFC is quite possible.

Guys
From OAR,
And it’s got six loaded cells, each capable of covering half a continent at need, by Owl’s best estimate.
