The Dassault nEUROn is an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV)

technology demonstrator intended to provide participating

European powers with a viable, long-term UCAV weapons-capable

solution. While primarily headed by the French concern (Dassault), the nEUROn

program is a joint European venture that includes the likes of Saab AB of

Sweden, Alenia Aeronautica of Italy, EADS CASA of Spain, EAB of Greece, RUAG

of Switzerland, Thales of France, and EADS France. Dassault will be responsible

for final assembly of the aircraft as well as in-flight testing while the base
design, avionics and fuel system are being developed by Saab. The weapons

suite will be handled by Alenia Aeronautica while the communications system

will be provided for by EADS CASA and Thales.

The nEUROn was originally born out of a larger, stealth-minded, unmanned,

nuclear-capable, twin-engine bomber concept by Dassault until the product was

scaled down in size and scope to a single-engine technology demonstrator

design with more conventional weapons delivery in mind (following increased

European participation). The data garnered from program will be utilized to

produce a viable end-product solution for serial manufacture - be it a UCAV or

full-sized manned aircraft of the future. Due to the fact that many of the

participating nations do not expect to procure full-scale manned aircraft for the
