The Denel Dynamics Seeker is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufactured in South Africa by Denel Dynamics (formerly Kentron). It first saw use during Operation Modular in Angola during 1987. It has a 19 feet (5.8 m) wingspan, carries a 88 pounds (40 kg) payload, an endurance of 9 hours and a range of up to 200 kilometres (120 mi).[1]

The UAV was deployed to monitor the South African general election, 1994.[2] During the 2010 African Aerospace and Defence Exhibition the manufacturer unveiled a new light air to ground missile, the Denel Dynamics Impi that is being developed to arm the Seeker 400, the current production version. A mockup of the missile was displayed fitted to an example of the UAV.[3]

In December 2012, Denel Dynamics deployed a Seeker II against rhinoceros poachers in Kruger National Park.[4]
