Period

This drone was used by Canadian Forces from 2003 to 2009.

Canada

As per acquisition proposal "The French-made Sagem Sperwer was the first UAV used in combat by the Canadian Forces, between 2003 and 2009. Indeed, it is the first UAV to go into service with the Canadian military. It should be noted that the Sperwer’s service in Afghanistan, the first combat operation launched by the Canadian Forces since the Korean War half a century earlier, was marred by some controversy. Acquired in a bit of a hurry, it proved to be something of a disappointment."

Function

Motive power for drone .1.

Technical

As per acquisition proposal "Used in ever increasing numbers by the armed forces of numerous western countries, including Canada, Unmanned / Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have already begun to change aerial warfare as we know it. They may very well all but revolutionize it before too long."
