The Sagem Crecerelle (Kestrel) is a reconnaissance UAV developed in France in the 1990s based on the Meggitt Banshee target drone. Its configuration is much like that of the Banshee with a pusher prop a clipped delta wing and a single tailfin though its fuselage is more cylindrical. It is powered by a 20 kW (26 hp) rotary engine and has no landing gear being recovered by parachute and airbags. The Crecerelle saw action with French forces during the Kosovo campaign in 1999.
