EADS and Vertivision are working on definition studies for a future Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) UAV programme to meet joint requirements for the French Army and Navy. The current studies cover the feasibility of the UAV system and a demonstration phase including automatic ship deck landing prior to programme launch. The contract was awarded by the French armamant procurement agency DGA in November 2006.
