INTRODUCTION

Sperwer B (Sparrow Hawk B) is a long-
endurance tactical unmanned air vehicle
and a variant of the Sperwer A (formerly
called Sperwer). Sperwer B can be used for
long-endurance missions such as battlefield
surveillance, as a communications relay or be
armed for combat missions.
DEVELOPMENT

A prototype interim design version first flew at the Mourmelon range
in 2001 and the first flight of the Sperwer B was in 2004.

Compared to the current Sperwer A, the B version has twice the
payload capacity, 100kg for Sperwer B and 50kg for Sperwer A, and
twice the endurance, 12 hours for Sperwer B compared to six hours
for Sperwer A.

A series of endurance test flights were successfully completed at
the Robonic Arctic test UAV flight centre in Kemijarvi in Finland
during 2006.
VEHICLE

The Sperwer B is of similar construction to the Sperwer A and uses a
similar fuselage design.

The air vehicle has distinctive double delta wings with clipped tips.

Swept canards are installed on the fuselage nose.

Take-off and landing of the air vehicle is fully automated with
catapult launch from the Sperwer pneumatic launcher and a
conventional automated landing with parachute and airbags.

The MC2555LLR launcher is supplied by Robonic Ltd of Tampere,
Finland.
CONTROL

Sperwer B has an advanced digital avionics suite with digital Ku
band (15GHz) datalink with a range of 200km, transponder / IFF
mode 3C and a VHF relay with air traffic control (ATC).

Sperwer B is fully compatible with the Sperwer A mobile ground
control station.

Two air vehicles can be controlled simultaneously from a single
ground station.

The ground station is provided with advanced technologies
including 3D mission planning, geographical information system
and connection and interoperability with C4I networks.
PAYIOADS

The system has embedded sensor to shooter capability. The double
delta wings can be fitted with under-wing pylons that can carry a
payload of 60kg (30kg each).

The lightweight pylons can carry rockets or air-launched missiles.

Weapon payloads could include the Rafael Spike-LR anti-tank
missile and the Bonus munition from Nexter / BAE Systems Bofors.

Spike-LR has a range of 4,000m and fibre-optic / imaging infrared
guidance.

Bonus is a 155mm munition with two sensor-fused submunitions and
a range up to 35km.
