SYRANO (Système Robotisé d'Acquisition pour la Neutralisation d'Objectifs, "Robotic acquisition system for neutralization of targets") is the first operational battlefield robot of the French military.
SYRANO was designed by a consortium of CGEY, THALES, GIAT Industries and SAGEM to collect information in combat zones, especially in urban combat conditions. It is based on the Wiesel AWC of the German Army.
The SYRANO program started in December 1994 at the initiative of the DGA. An economic interest group of the same name, SYRANO, was created between Giat Industries, Itmi Aptor of Cap Gemini Sogeti, SAGEM and Dassault Electronique. A battlefield observation robot operational demonstrator was created in 1997 and delivered to the French army in July 1999. Project was stopped around 2005.
