None that I know of are capable of 'evasive' manuvers on their own as a result of hostile fire. That would require some sort of sensor to detect, classify and track incoming fire and then modify it's route accordingly. That may be available on the UCAVs but UAVs require pilot intervention for that sort of thing.

Upon googling this I have found that they are capable of some evasive manuvers (albiet simplisitc ones) and are capable of using a back up control system to divert their flight path (once damaged) to another one autonomously...Basically they have AI...
I also found this
"UAV conducting RSTA missions fly at altitudes safe from small arms fire."
