Yesterday, at a ceremony held in Washington DC by the well-known
defence and aeronautics magazine Aviation Week, Dassault Aviation
and the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA - Direction générale
de l'armement ) were announced winner of the Laureate Awards, for
the nEUROn programme, Europe's unmanned combat air vehicle
(UCAV).
This price, that honors the values and visions
of the global aerospace and defence industry, salutes the
technological challenges performed and the innovative industrial
solutions designed to develop the first large size stealth platform
made in Europe, the nEUROn technological demonstrator.
Initiated by the French government in 2003
through the French Defence Procurement Agency with Dassault
Aviation as prime contractor, the aim of the programme was to
demonstrate the maturity and the effectiveness of technical
solutions to face the main challenges of the future combat aircraft
industry for the next twenty years.
The need to develop strategic technologies, the
necessity to uphold advanced skills in areas in which the French
industry has gained technical competences and fields of excellence,
and the goal to provide workload to the design offices have led the
nEUROn programme to be one of the most important for the defence
sector.
The success of the nEUROn maiden flight, the 1st
December 2012, validates the capability of the French industry to
prepare the future of manned or unmanned combat aircraft
systems.
It also illustrates the will of the French
Authorities to be a major actor to the build-up of the future of
defence, and the strategic commitment of Dassault Aviation to
design and develop the best technologies to propose the outmost
innovative operational solutions.
