	Denel Aerospace Systems Bateleur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bateleur (named for an African eagle) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) prototype designed and built by Denel Aerospace Systems (formerly Kentron).
		The entire aircraft is constructed using a modular construction system, making adapting the airframe in future to increase the range or fit larger payloads much easier than with a rigid airframe.
		Initially, proposed payloads include the Denel Optronics Argos-410 electro-optical (E/O) and infrared (IR) system (with optional laser rangefinder), the Denel Optronics Goshawk-350 E/O and IR system (also with optional laser rangefinder), a laser designator, an Avitronics Emitter Locating System, electronic intelligence equipment, and/or a synthetic aperture radar.

		The programme was undertaken at Denel's OTB test range, near Bredasdorp, on the Cape south coast, in the Western Cape province.
		(Denel Aerospace Systems, formerly known as Kentron, is the division of Denel that has developed the Umkhonto and the Skua.) And so a live Umkhonto was fired against a Skua and scored a direct hit, destroying the drone, the success being confirmed by high-speed cameras observing the test.
		Denel points out that these features mean that the Umkhonto could be deployed in land-based versions, such as a ground-based air defence system (GBADS).

	Idex News - Denel MALE UAV on First Overseas Visit
		According to Mr Jan Wessels, Denel Aerospace Systems General Manager, the initial development rationale with the `Bateleur` was to meet the anticipated South African Navy and South African Air Force`s Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) requirement.
		Denel sees the identified roles and missions of the design as: -- Real-time day and night surveillance -- Maritime, coastal and border patrol -- Battlefield surveillance -- Search and rescue operations -- Military and paramilitary multi-sensor reconnaissance The UAV was designed to cover South Africa`s vast search and rescue area of approximately 5-million square miles.
		For long-range operations, Denel`s existing ground control station (used for the Seeker 2 UAV, which is operational in several countries) plus a tactical ground station provides line-of-sight deployment of the `Bateleur` MALE UAV with an action radius of 750 kilometres and 12 to 18 hours over the target area.

		BAE Systems is not in the helicopter business; indeed, the UK group teamed up with Denel to market the Rooivalk in Australia, in a competition that was won by the Eurocopter Tiger.
		Like Denel, AgustaWestland has so far failed to win any export orders for its attack helicopter but, while only 12 production Rooivalks have been built, the total number of Mangustas manufactured or on order for the Italian army is 60.
		To sum up: the least-likely partner would seem to be Finmeccanica; BAE Systems cannot be ruled out, but EU/Turkish relations and consequent domestic Turkish political pressures suggest that the Tiger will not stand a chance in the competition which, in turn, makes EADS/Eurocopter the most likely candidate for Denelâs partner.
