Sagem will target the UAV requirements of the Egyptian Ministry of Defence under a new exclusive commercial and industrial collaboration agreement signed with Egyptian manufacturer AOI-Aircraft Factory, the company announced on 24 September.

The agreement concerns Sagem’s Patroller UAS, and would see final assembly of the Patroller UAV handled in Egypt by AOI-Aircraft Factory if the system was selected by an Egyptian customer.

The agreement also covers system support and commissioning. AOI-Aircraft Factory will develop a dedicated training centre in Egypt to train staff for the operation and maintenance of Sagem's UAV systems.   

Patroller is a long-endurance tactical UAS designed for a broad range of military and security missions, with a multi-sensor payload of up to 250 kg - fuselage or podmounted. The Patroller offers endurance of more than 20 hours, and an operating ceiling of 20,000ft. 

Sagem has already conducted a flight demonstration on Patroller showing the simultaneous operation of different sensors: optronic (electro-optical) pod, radar, electronic warfare (EW) system, distress beacon detector and automatic identification system (AIS) receiver.
