وهذا خبر جديد عن هذا المشروع
EADS Defence & Security (DS) was awarded by the German Ministry of
Defence (MoD) some weeks ago the prime contractor role for the research
and technology programme "Agile UAV within Network-Centric
Environments" (Agile UAV-NCE). This programme of Military Air Systems,
an integrated Business Unit of DS, is aiming at the analysis and
refinement of enabling technologies and operational concepts of
unmanned agile reconnaissance operations of an unmanned air vehicle
(UAV).

EADS Defence & Security is the partner for the tri-national
"Advanced UAV" study in France, Germany and Spain. It is expanding its
capabilities in the important field of unmanned systems. The company's
prime objectives are system-of-systems approaches and the
network-centric operations context for their UAV portfolio.

As the Finnish Defence Forces see similar technological and operational
requirements, they are contributing to the Agile UAV-NCE programme via
their established national 'Finnish Unmanned Vehicle Systems (FinUVS)'
project and its recently launched follow-up "UAV Data Link" technology
programmes. The cooperation is based on a Government-to-Government
agreement between the Finnish and the German side. The German MoD also
welcomes other European nations, such as Switzerland, to participate in
the Agile UAV-NCE programme.

The Agile UAV-NCE programme is intended to be executed in subsequent
phases and to run until 2013, covering both, demonstrations by
simulation as well as by real flight tests. Main features will be
risk-reduction processes, the evaluation of key technologies, and the
generation of operational concepts for future UAV systems. As a
consequence, the most prominent tasks are the definition and simulation
of missions, of communication links and of platform control under NCE
conditions. Flight trials are going to focus on verification and
validation of the Agile UAV-NCE concept by performing reconnaissance
and sensor-to-shooter missions.

EADS Defence & Security is responsible for the complete system
design and will contribute to the programme with the technology
demonstrator Barracuda. This vehicle is seen as a decisive development
asset towards the next generation of interoperable modular Advanced UAV
systems. The Finnish industrial participants are Patria as national
prime contractor and Insta as co-contractor, both funded by the Finnish
Defence Forces. The contribution of the nordic partners centres around
secure networking data links. The Swiss partner is going to be RUAG
