I-Army Patrolman

Umbono weciko we-Patrol endizeni nemishini emisiwe.

Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yokusetshenziswa ibutho laseFrance le-SDTI (Système de drone tactiques intérimaire) uhlelo lokuhlola olungenamuntu, olwaqala ukusebenza ngo-2005, kwanqunywa ukuthi kuthengwe uhlelo olusha lwalolu hlobo - i-SDT (Système de drone tactique) . Izinkampani ezimbili zibambe iqhaza emncintiswaneni, owamenyezelwa ekwindla ka-2014 yi-Directorate General of Armaments (Direction Générale de l'Armement - DGA): inkampani yaseFrance iSagem (kusukela ngoMeyi 2016 - iSafran Electronics & Defense) kanye nokukhathazeka kwaseYurophu iThales. . I-Patroller yokuqala enikeziwe, eyethulwa okokuqala ngo-2009, eyesibili - ikhamera ye-Watchkeeper, eyaziwa kakade futhi yenzelwe i-UK. Idizayini yesiFulentshi ngaphambilini isike yahlolwa izindiza ezimbalwa, okuhlanganisa nezivivinyo endaweni yezindiza yomphakathi ngoNovemba 2014. Umlindi - nakuba abesevele ebhabhadiswe ngomlilo e-Afghanistan - wenza izivivinyo zalolu hlobo ngoSepthemba 30, 2015.

NgoSepthemba 4, 2015, zombili izinhlangano zahambisa iziphakamiso zazo zokugcina. Isinqumo mayelana nokukhethwa komphakeli bekufanele senziwe i-CMI (Comité Ministériel d'Investissement, Investment Committee of the Ministry of Defense) ngaphambi kokuphela kukaDisemba 2015. NgoJanuwari 1, 2016, isinqumo samenyezelwa mayelana nomnikezeli wempahla. uhlelo lwe-SDT lwe-Armée de terre - ngemva kokuhlola zombili izimoto , Ngesinqumo se-DGA kanye ne-STAT (Indlela yeSigaba de l'armée de terre, umphathi wezinsizakalo zobuchwepheshe zamabutho aphansi), uhlelo lwe-Patroller Sagema lukhethiwe. Umlindi oqhudelanayo wase-Thales (empeleni igatsha laseBrithani lase-Thales UK), eyintandokazi ngokungangabazeki kulokhu kuqhuba, walahleka kungazelelwe. I-Safran ekugcineni izoletha ama-SDT amabili ngo-2019, ngalinye linamakhamera andizayo amahlanu kanye nesiteshi esisodwa sokulawula phansi. Ezinye izimoto ezine neziteshi ezimbili zizosetshenziselwa ukuqeqeshwa kwabaqhubi nanjengendawo yokugcina impahla (ngaleyo ndlela, kuzokwakhiwa ama-UAV angu-14 kanye neziteshi ezine). Inkampani ewinile iphinde igcine imishini esesimweni sokusebenza (MCO - Maintien en condition opérationnelle) iminyaka eyi-10. Kuqinisekisiwe ukuthi isinqumo semiphumela yethenda sathunyelwa kwababeyithenda ngoJanuwari 20 nonyaka, kwathi kusenjalo kwamenyezelwa ukuthi izoqinisekiswa ngokusemthethweni yiMMK ngoFebhuwari. Isici esinqumayo, ngokungangabazeki, kwakuyiqiniso lokuthi ngisho ne-85% ye-Patroller izokwakhiwa eFrance, kanti esimweni soMlindi lesi sabelo sizoba ngu-30-40 kuphela%. Inkontileka kulindeleke ukuthi inikeze imisebenzi emisha engaphezu kuka-300. Yiqiniso, lesi sinqumo saphinde sathonywa ukwehluleka kohlelo lwe-Anglo-French lokuqinisa ukubambisana kwezempi nezobuchwepheshe. Ukube abaseBrithani babeyale i-RVI/Nexter VBCI yesiFulentshi (manje eyi-KNDS), ababebonise isithakazelo kuyo ngaphambili, cishe amaFulentshi ayeyokhetha Abalindi.

Inqola yasemoyeni engenamuntu enguPatroller, eyisisekelo sohlelo lwe-SDT, isekelwe ekwakhiweni okulula, okuthembekile futhi okutholakalayo kwezentengiso - i-Stemme Ecarys S15 eshintshwayo yemoto. Izokwazi ukuhlala emoyeni amahora angaba ngu-20, futhi ukuphakama kwayo okuphezulu kokundiza kungamamitha angu-6000. Idivayisi enesisindo esingu-1000 kg ingathwala umthwalo okhokhelwayo ofika ku-250 kg futhi ihamba ngesivinini esingu-100÷200 km/h. . . Ifakwe i-Euroflir 410 electro-optical head ethuthukisiwe, izokwazi ukwenza imisebenzi yokuhlola kokubili imini nobusuku. Abaqaphi bokuqala bazolethwa ngo-2018. Kwabaningi ababukele, ukukhetha kwesiphakamiso sikaSagem kwaba isimanga esikhulu. Inkampani ewinile, i-Thales, inikeze amapulatifomu ayo angaphezu kuka-50 kuze kube manje njengengxenye yohlelo oluqaliswe izidingo zeButho LaseBrithani, futhi uMlindi naye waba nobhapathizo oluphumelelayo lomlilo ngesikhathi sokusebenza e-Afghanistan ku-2014.

Ngomhla zi-5 kuMbasa wezi-2016, e-Montluçon, embonini ye-Safran Electronics & Defense, kwabanjwa umcimbi wokusayina inkontileka yokuthengwa kohlelo lwe-SDT lwe-Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of the French Republic. Inkontileka yasayinwa ngasohlangothini lwabaphakeli nguPhilippe Peticolin, umongameli we-Safran, futhi ngasohlangothini lwe-DGA yi-CEO yayo uVincent Imbert. Inani lenkontileka lingama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-350.
