The lack of activity was deceptive. The Israeli military were becoming increasingly interested in battlefield uavs, and in response IAI decided they were interested in the concept as well. Tadiran and IAI found themselves in bitter competition for military battlefield UAV contracts. 

缺少積極性是靠不住的。以色列軍隊(duì)正在逐漸地對(duì)戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)無人機(jī)（UAV）感興趣，并且在響應(yīng)IAI公司時(shí)同樣明確他們也對(duì)概念感興趣。Tadiran公司和IAI公司為軍用戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)無人機(jī)（UAV）合同發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處在激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中。

The Israeli military began to buy more Mastiffs, while IAI came up with a competitor with the appropriate name of "Scout" and sold it to the military as well. The Scout, which was also known as "Zahavan (Oriole)", had a similar configuration to the Mastiff, with a pusher propeller and a twin-boom tail. 

以色列軍隊(duì)開始去購(gòu)買更多的“猛犬”（Mastiffs）無人機(jī)，而IAI公司提出一個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者，采用一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)?ldquo;偵察兵”命名和銷售它到軍隊(duì)。“偵察兵”，也即是“Zahavan（金鶯）”，具有和“猛犬”（Mastiffs）相似的配置，采用一個(gè)螺旋漿推進(jìn)裝置和一個(gè)雙-桁梁尾部。

一種用于情報(bào)偵察的小型無人機(jī)（UAV）。無人機(jī)（UAV）的飛行和活動(dòng)被地面上的一個(gè)任務(wù)控制中心管理，它的效力，實(shí)際上如同無人機(jī)的駕駛員。

The Scout's development was a concerted effort by all of the departments that comprise the IAI. There were many hardships to overcome: it was difficult, at first, to get used to the idea of relying on a small UAV, and there were many new challenges, also, as far as engineering was concerned. There were no ready-made components and subsystems, and everything had to be developed from scratch.

“偵察兵”的發(fā)展是一個(gè)包括IAI公司所有部門的一致努力。有許多困難去克服：它是困難的，最初，習(xí)慣于去依靠一種小型無人機(jī)（UAV）思想，并且存在許多新的挑戰(zhàn)，同樣，就工程學(xué)來說。沒有現(xiàn)成的零件和子系統(tǒng)，而且每件事物必須從頭被發(fā)展。

The Scout system includes several UAV's, a ground based mission control center, and launch/retrieving systems. Also integrated into the Scout system are different kinds of remote receiving systems, including a Video Receiving Assembly - a lightweight transportable microwave receiving unit capable of receiving video, telemetry and data broadcasted from an airborne surveillance platform, and a mobile Tactical Intelligence Microwave Data Link. The UAV itself is made of composite materials, and has several electronic and mechanical subsystems, including special reconnaissance/surveillance electro-optical payloads and airborne data relays.

“偵察兵”系統(tǒng)包括若干架無人機(jī)（UAV），一個(gè)地基任務(wù)控制中心中心和發(fā)射/回收系統(tǒng)。綜合進(jìn)入“偵察兵”系統(tǒng)之內(nèi)是各種遙控接收裝置，包括一個(gè)視頻接收部件-一部輕型微波接收單元，能夠從一個(gè)機(jī)載監(jiān)視平臺(tái)和一個(gè)移動(dòng)戰(zhàn)術(shù)情報(bào)微波數(shù)據(jù)鏈接收視頻、遙測(cè)和數(shù)據(jù)廣播。無人機(jī)（UAV)的機(jī)體采用復(fù)合材料制造，若干電子和機(jī)械子系統(tǒng)，包括專用的搜索/監(jiān)視光電負(fù)載和機(jī)載數(shù)據(jù)中繼。

The Scout's main missions were to carry a stabilized video camera for real time transmission, and various infra-red systems. Over time, different submodels were developed, with variations in wingspan, and unique payloads designed for jamming enemy communications, and electronic warfare.

“偵察兵”的主要任務(wù)去攜帶一套固定的視頻攝像機(jī)用于實(shí)時(shí)傳輸，還有各種不同的紅-外系統(tǒng)。隨著時(shí)間過去，不同的子型號(hào)被發(fā)展，采用改動(dòng)翼展和獨(dú)特的負(fù)載設(shè)計(jì)用于干擾敵人通信和電子戰(zhàn)。

The Scout was first presented publicly at the Paris Air Show in 1979, and was used over Syria and Lebanon during Operation Peace for Galilee (1982) and afterwards.

“偵察兵”在1979年巴黎航空展上首次公開展示，而且在“加里利和平”（Peace for Galilee）軍事行動(dòng)（1982）和戰(zhàn)后期間，被用在敘利亞和黎巴嫩上空。

The Scout has excellent performance and maneuverability specs. A Scout UAV is on display at the IAF Museum at Hatzerim.

“偵察兵”具有優(yōu)異的性能和可操作規(guī)范。一架“偵察兵”無人機(jī)（UAV）在位于哈則瑞姆（Hatzerim）的以色列空軍（IAF）博物館內(nèi)展示。
