BAE and Dassault will use Farnborough to strengthen their relationship.
European aerospace conglomerate EADS will not take part in the French-British Telemos UAS programme, which it is competing against with its own Talarion, a spokesman told Reuters on Thursday.
BAE Systems and Dassault Aviation have announced Telemos as the name of the programme that will deliver their joint response to meet the United Kingdom and French Governments requirement for a next generation Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aircraft System.
France and Germany are set to renew efforts to work on a joint unmanned aircraft system, supporting European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. (EADS) in its attempt to compete in a market now dominated by Israeli and U.S. companies.
BAE Systems is assessing software for unmanned aircraft that will operate with an unprecedented level of independence.
The Board of Directors of Dassault, chaired by Mr. Charles EDELSTENNE, last week closed the financial statements for the year 2011.
EADS appears to be rethinking its push of the Talarion unmannned aircraft, after a prolonged period of unsuccessfully trying to get Germany and other European countries to back its development.
Paris is open to offers from Germany and Italy to join an Anglo-French project to develop a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned air system, according to the head of France’s DGA Defence Procurement Agency.
