The advanced drone will pull from experience with the nEUROn stealth demonstrator and is seen as essential to executing high-end future missions. France is the latest country to launch a program to field a stealthy UCAV designed to work closely with crewed fighters from the 2030s.

France has unveiled plans to develop a new uncrewed combat air vehicle (UCAV) that will complement the forthcoming Rafale F5 crewed fighter, as part of a new-look French Air and Space Force. The industrial side of the drone program will be headed up by Dassault Aviation, drawing upon its previous nEUROn UCAV demonstrator, which has already been used in trials with crewed combat aircraft.
