    Anglo-French defence co-operation contract to develop unmanned combat air systems

    “The technological excellence of our defense aerospace industry must be maintained. It is a matter of sovereignty and operational superiority”, said Collet-Billon

    A set of defence co-operation contracts, worth £120 million, for the early phase of a joint development of Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) between the UK and French governments have been awarded in Paris. A UCAS capability would, by the 2030’s, be able to undertake sustained surveillance, mark targets, gather intelligence, deter adversaries and carry out strikes in hostile territory.
