Future Combat Air System
The Future Combat Air System (FCAS), (; ; ) is a European combat system of systems under development by Dassault Aviation, Airbus and Indra Sistemas. The FCAS will consist of a Next-Generation Weapon System (NGWS) as well as other air assets in the future operational battlespace. The NGWS's components will be remote carrier vehicles (swarming drones) as well as a New Generation Fighter (NGF)—a planned sixth-generation jet fighter—that will possibly supersede France's Rafale and Germany and Spain's Typhoons. A test flight of a demonstrator is expected around 2027 and entry into service around 2040. According to Airbus, the first test flight of an FCAS fighter jet together with swarming drones, with all vehicles connected to each other via an information technology "combat cloud", is planned for 2028 or 2029. Contractors Dassault will serve as prime contractor for the NGF (fighter aircraft), while Airbus will lead the development of accompanying remote carrier vehicles ...

Future French Aircraft Carrier
The ''Porte-avions de nouvelle génération'' (PANG; "new generation aircraft carrier") is planned aircraft carrier for French Navy. Construction of the PANG is expected to begin around 2031 and it is projected to enter service in about 2038; the year the aircraft carrier is due to be retired. The ship will be nuclear-powered and will feature the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG). History Context The current French aircraft carrier, the nuclear-powered ''Charles de Gaulle'', entered service on 18 May 2001. As the only aircraft carrier of the French Navy, the ship's maintenance periods leave France without an available aircraft carrier. As a result the PA2 project (French: Porte-Avions 2, "Aircraft Carrier 2") started in 2003 to study the feasibility of another carrier based on the design of the British ''Queen Elizabeth''-class. The PA2 project was suspended in 2009 and ultimately cancelled in 2013. In October 2018, French ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

UCAV
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), also known as a combat drone, fighter drone or battlefield UAV, is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance and carries aircraft ordnance such as missiles, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), and/or bombs in hardpoints for drone strikes. These drones are usually under real-time human control, with varying levels of autonomy. UCAVs are used for reconnaissance, attacking targets and returning to base; unlike kamikaze drones which are only made to explode on impact, or surveillance drones which are only for gathering intelligence. Aircraft of this type have no onboard human pilot. As the operator runs the vehicle from a remote terminal, equipment necessary for a human pilot is not needed, resulting in a lower weight and a smaller size than a manned aircraft. Many countries have operational domestic UCAVs, and many more have imported fighter drones or are in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
