France initially participated with the US in examining flight control systems for UCAVs in the late 1990s. Before the turn of the century, France began to study UCAV requirements, and Dassault built and flew a sub-scale demonstrator, the Petit Due (Little Horned Owl) AVE (aeronef de validation experimental: experimental demonstration air-vehicle) starting in July 2000. At Paris 2003, models of both the Petit Due and Petit Due C demonstrators were displayed. The European aerospace consortium EADS undertook preliminary studies of a UCAV called the URAV which could be used for either reconnaissance or tactical strike. In April 2002, Dassault and SAGEM announced plans to team on UAV ventures including a UCAV dubbed the "Moyen Due" (Medium Horned Owl) based on the earlier "Petit Due" demonstrator. The long erm plan is to build a full scale dem-onstrator, or "Grand Due".
