nEUROn UCAV Project Rolling Down the Runway
Posted on: Feb. 15th, 2006 || www.defenseindustrydaily.com

In November 2005, DID noted a Forecast International report on the future UAV market that forecast trouble for the proposed six-nation nEUROn Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) project. In the end, however, Sweden signed on. The project is now rolling down the runway with a EUR 405 million budget, with the French DGA procurement agency acting as program executive.

The Neuron project joins Britain's CORAX UCAV, and the USA's J-UCAS program that includes the Boeing X-45C and Northrop-Grumman's X-47B Pegasus. The Neuron program's goals are threefold, and DID also offers details concerning the envisioned platform, the program structure, and its schedule.
