Sagem was one of the first companies to equip the Armed Forces with tactical UAV systems, starting with the delivery of CRÉCERELLE to the French Army in 1995 and later with the SPERWER UAS. SPERWER has been produced in more than 120 units and sold to six countries in NATO and the EU. Today, it is commercialised under its latest Mk.II version, and has been operated in Afghanistan for the last seven years in support of NATO forces. As a result, Sagem has acquired a considerable experience with this system, which has been engaged in combat operations and has provided an efficient support to its customers deployed in external operations.

The avionics systems, the datalink and the Ground Control Station (GCS) are based on the existing and combat proven tactical SPERWER Mk.II UAV sub systems. Thanks to the uncompromising quality of their optronic sensors and datalink, Sagem UAVs provide high-resolution images and high target localisation accuracy. PATROLLER open and modular architecture combined with its 250kg payload capacity allow to easily integrate a wide variety of other sensors as well as a wide-band Satcom datalink. (Photo: Sagem) |
Sagem has developed a multi-platform approach based on a unique set of mature and combat-proven sensors, avionics, data links, and GCS equipment implemented in different types of platforms dedicated to different customer requirements. Thanks to the uncompromising quality of their optronic sensors and datalink, Sagem UAVs provide high-resolution images and high target localisation accuracy. The images and data acquired in the air vehicle are transmitted to the GCSs or directly to the ground troops on their Remote Video Terminal (Sagem RVT).
