The Neuron – European combat drone – Maiden flight
A prototype of a European combat drone, the Neuron made by Dassault Aviation, made its maiden flight Saturday from a base in the south of France.
Facing such a situation, the French government took the initiative by launching in 2003 a project for a technological demonstrator of an “Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle” (UCAV), elaborated in the frame of a European cooperation scheme.
The aim of the nEUROn demonstrator is to provide the European design offices with a project allowing them to develop know-how and to maintain their technological capabilities in the coming years.
“European forces could use pilotless planes by 2030,” is the Terminator-style tagline.
