Seeker
Notes: This South African RPV was designed with Israeli assistance in the mid 1980s, and went into service in 1987. It is a conventional-type UAV, similar in design to the Mastiff/Scout series. It is a relatively quick and agile UAV, with a good sensor suite, but requires a hardened runway for takeoffs and landings, though they often operate from improved roadways. This vehicle was also sold to Chile. The Seeker is equipped with an arrestor hook for landing on ships and runways equipped with arresting wires.
