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。以色列軍隊正在逐漸地對戰(zhàn)場無人機（UAV）感興趣，并且在響應IAI公司時同樣明確他們也對概念感興趣。Tadiran公司和IAI公司為軍用戰(zhàn)場無人機（UAV）合同發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處在激烈的競爭中。

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. 

以色列軍隊開始去購買更多的“猛犬”（Mastiffs）無人機，而IAI公司提出一個競爭者，采用一個恰當?shù)?ldquo;偵察兵”命名和銷售它到軍隊。“偵察兵”，也即是“Zahavan（金鶯）”，具有和“猛犬”（Mastiffs）相似的配置，采用一個螺旋漿推進裝置和一個雙-桁梁尾部。

A small UAV (unmanned air vehicle) for intelligence reconnaissance. The UAV's flight and activities are directed from the ground by a mission control center that serves, in effect, as its pilot.

一種用于情報偵察的小型無人機（UAV）。無人機（UAV）的飛行和活動被地面上的一個任務控制中心管理，它的效力，實際上如同無人機的駕駛員。

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，習慣于去依靠一種小型無人機（UAV）思想，并且存在許多新的挑戰(zhàn)，同樣，就工程學來說。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（UAV），一個地基任務控制中心中心和發(fā)射/回收系統(tǒng)。綜合進入“偵察兵”系統(tǒng)之內是各種遙控接收裝置，包括一個視頻接收部件-一部輕型微波接收單元，能夠從一個機載監(jiān)視平臺和一個移動戰(zhàn)術情報微波數(shù)據(jù)鏈接收視頻、遙測和數(shù)據(jù)廣播。無人機（UAV)的機體采用復合材料制造，若干電子和機械子系統(tǒng)，包括專用的搜索/監(jiān)視光電負載和機載數(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”的主要任務去攜帶一套固定的視頻攝像機用于實時傳輸，還有各種不同的紅-外系統(tǒng)。隨著時間過去，不同的子型號被發(fā)展，采用改動翼展和獨特的負載設計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（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（UAV）在位于哈則瑞姆（Hatzerim）的以色列空軍（IAF）博物館內展示。
