The Ranger is a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle system built by a Swiss and Israeli joint venture of RUAG Aviation and Israel Aerospace Industries. Its design and some of its technology come from the Scout, an IAI unmanned aircraft. It takes off from a compact hydraulic catapult, lands on a skid undercarriage on grass, concrete, snow or ice, and carries a modular payload so that it can serve both military and civilian missions. According to its makers it is the only tactical UAV system certified to fly in civilian airspace and over populated areas. The first system was delivered to the Swiss Air Force in June 1999, where it served as the ADS-95 after an earlier ADS-90 variant, and the Finnish Defence Forces also fly it. Swiss data give a length of 4.61 metres, a wingspan of 5.71 metres, a maximum take-off mass of 285 kilograms, a top speed of 220 km/h and an endurance of up to nine hours. The last Swiss Air Force flight took place on 27 November 2017.
