Saint-Cloud -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Sep 12, 2006 -- Saint-Cloud, September 12th 2006 - The first intermediate synthesis review of the nEUROn programme (Europe's UCAV Demonstrator) took place on September 6th and 7th, 2006 at Dassault Aviation facilities - Saint-Cloud.

This review allowed the industrial partners - Dassault Aviation, Alenia Aeronautica, SAAB, EADS CASA, HAI and RUAG Aerospace - to present to the French Executive Agency (DGA), and to the government representatives participating to the programme - Segredifesa, FMV, DGAM, GDA and Armasuisse - the results obtained after 6 months of feasibility studies.

The synthesis addressed in particular the definition of the external shape of the vehicle and systems resulting from the necessary trade offs to fulfill the performance and low observability targets of the project, as well as to allow the flight of a large vehicle without pilot supervised from a ground station.

The results are satisfactory and allow to consider optimistically the next steps of the programme.
