French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation has initiated the development of a new uncrewed combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).
The UCAV are slated to augment the capabilities of the future Rafale F5 standard post-2030.
This advanced UCAV will be designed for collaborative combat, featuring stealth technologies, autonomous control with human oversight, internal payload options, and adaptability to counter emerging threats.
The UCAV programme will draw on the technological advancements and experiences gained from the nEUROn initiative, Europe’s stealth UCAV demonstrator.
Commenced in 2003 under the management of Dassault Aviation, the nEUROn programme united the aerospace expertise of six European nations.
It successfully completed its first flight in December 2012, and since then, has undertaken more than 170 test flights, fulfilling its performance, schedule, and budgetary objectives.
