SAGEM Sperwer

SAGEM Sperwer

The Sperwer (Pronounced "Spehr-vehr", Dutch for Sparrowhawk) is a 3-meter-long unmanned aerial vehicle manufactured by the French firm SAGEM. The aircraft is piloted remotely and can cruise at altitudes of over 16,000 feet for as long as five hours. It can send back images of targets up to 150 kilometers from its operators on the ground.

It is currently in service with France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, and Canada. Denmark also bought Sperwer, but a series of problems forced the Ministry of Defence to cancel the programme and sell the remainder to Canada.
