Joint development programme for a new generation
high-speed, deep penetration, low-altitude
reconnaissance UAV that would normally
operate at 1,000ft. UAV was proposed in 2003
as the basis of a combined Dassault-Sagem bid
for the French Army’s former multimission,
multi sensor (MCMM) requirement. However
MCMM programme was subsequently cancelled
late in 2004. Design evolved from
Dassault AVE subscale UCAV demonstrator.
Preliminary technical information points to
a 3h endurance air vehicle that would fl y at
216km/h in slow fl ight profi le and 720km/h
in fast profi le. Payload capacity is around 50kg.
Development continuing.
