This Vindicator II was the 440th made by Meggitt Training Systems Canada in 2009. In fact, the Vindicator II was the first mass produced target drone in Canada. Over twenty small and medium sized businesses helped create various elements of this drone and greatly contributed to both the regional and provincial economy. The Vindicator II was used to help train the Canadian Armed Forces in defense against anti-aircraft weapons for the Royal Marines division as well as the Canadian army. This Vindicator II was made for the Royal Marines of Canada (RMC) specifically and had its first flight in Paris. It flew for the first time in 2010 during a multinational naval training exercise under the name Halcyon RV (Rendezvous). The exercise was run by the MRC and took place between June 14 and 25th between Virgina and the maritimes. Complété en mai 2009, ce Vindicator II est le 440e fabriqué par Meggitt Training Systems Canada. De fait, le Vindicator II est le premier drone cible canadien produit en grande quantité. Plus de vingt petites et moyennes entreprises fabriquent divers éléments – une contribution importante à l’économie régionale et provinciale. Les forces armées canadiennes font appel au Vindicator II pour entraîner le personnel de défense antiaérienne de la Marine royale du Canada et de l’Armée canadienne. Ce Vindicator II fabriqué pour la Marine royale du Canada (MRC) semble par ailleurs avoir été baptisé Paris. Il vole pour la première fois en 2010 au cours d’un exercice naval multinational connu sous le nom d’Halcyon RV (Rendezvous). Cet exercice dirigé par la MRC se tient du 14 au 25 juin entre la Virginie et les provinces maritimes.
Function
This artifact was fixed to the bottom of the fuselage of the Vindicator II target drone in order to absorb impact while protecting the underside of the drone when it landed on either land or in water. Cet artefact était fixé au-dessous du fuselage du drone-cible pour qu'il puisse absorber impact ainsi que pour protéger sa carène quand il atterrissait soit sur terre ou à l'eau.
Technical
The Vindicator II makes its way into the skies with the help of a catapult that is easily transportable and can be used on both land and sea. The drone returns to the earth by way of a parachute. The drone is controlled with a (UTCS) or Universal Target Control System which enables the operator to control the drone to a distance of roughly one hundred kilometers. It is the first system in the world that can control target drones, land vehicles without drivers, or surface targets. The Vindicator II was the first in the world to be operated by the UTCS and can be uses as target practice for both antinaval combat at sea or as antiair combat training over forested areas. Il est à noter que le Vindicator II prend l’air grâce à une catapulte à air comprimé facilement transportable et utilisable tant à terre qu’à bord d’un navire. Un drone cible redescend au sol à l’aide d’un parachute. Un drone est contrôlé avec l’aide du Universal Target Control System (UTCS). Un opérateur peut maintenir le contrôle sur une distance atteignant les cent kilomètres. De fait, l’UTCS est le premier système au monde capable de contrôler simultanément des drones cibles, des véhicules terrestres sans pilote ou des cibles de surface. Il est à noter que le Vindicator II est le premier drone cible commandé par l’entremise d’une UTCS. Un drone cible moderne comme le Vindicator II peut être utilisé pour simuler des cibles aussi variées qu’un missile antinavire volant au ras des vagues ou un avion de combat volant au ras des arbres.
