Dassault Aviation and Harmattan AI today announced the successful execution of a collaborative in-flight engagement between a Rafale F4 and an unmanned aerial system equipped with the NAMIB payload, a new electronic warfare device jointly developed by both companies.
One of the Air Force’s developmental Collaborative Combat Aircraft fired a live missile in a recent test, marking a critical step forward in the development of the service’s fleet of semi-autonomous drone fighters.
MOD has awarded £3.16 million to three companies to counter drone threats, becoming the first European partner to act under a joint defence programme.
This is the remarkable story of the Vickers Valiant, the pioneering aircraft that carried Britain into the nuclear age, proved the Royal Air Force could deliver atomic weapons anywhere in the world, and was ultimately overtaken by the very technological revolution it helped create.
“This designation validates that JUMP 20 meets the standards of a modern European military and underscores the system’s ability to deliver actionable intelligence and persistent overwatch in highly contested environments”
