The contract also includes delivery of Sagem Remote Video Terminals (RVTs), along with the modernisation of existing RVTs.

The RVT is used by front-line troops and consists of a touch-screen and portable transmitter-receiver to receive geo-referenced images sent by the drone.

The French Army Sperwer drones are used to perform missions for French and Nato forces, including intelligence, route reconnaissance and artillery guidance in Afghanistan.

The latest order brings the number of Sperwer drones produced by Sagem in France to 130.
