Program Briefing

摘要

Several European countries have begun first steps to examine UCAV designs. Some of these are consolidating under the French-led Neuron UCAV program, but several nations have been conducting independent demonstrations such as Sweden's FILUR, Italy's Sky-X, Germany's Barrakuda, and Britain's Taranis. The joint Neuron demonstrator was scheduled to first fly in 2011 but funding shortfalls have delayed this to 2012. The British Taranis demonstrator was scheduled to begin flying in 2010 but a test flight was delayed.
