Dassault Aviation salutes a major step forward for the Future Combat Air System
January 31 2014 - 8:07AM
Dassault Aviation is delighted by the decision announced today by
the President of the French Republic, François Hollande, and the
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, concerning the future combat
air system. This decision led to the signing by the French Defense
Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, and his counterpart, of a letter of
intent which formalizes the launch of joint feasibility studies in
the field of unmanned combat air systems (UCAS). This is a major
step forward in Franco-British military aeronautical cooperation.
This decision, which follows on from the
Lancaster House Treaties (November 2010), gives a new dimension to
the joint studies already undertaken in this field: Dassault
Aviation and BAE Systems, as leaders of the project, have worked,
together with their partners Safran, Rolls-Royce, Thales and Selex,
to ensure the success of this ambitious R&T programme.
This decision also bolsters the national
investments made in recent years, notably in the nEUROn combat UAV
demonstrator.
As leader of the French team, Dassault Aviation
has always supported its Government's efforts to launch an
ambitious Franco-British programme, designed to lay the foundations
for the future European fighter aircraft.
For Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault
Aviation, "this launch by the French and British authorities is
contributing to the development of the combat air systems sector
and is paving the way for the future in this strategic field."
