“The unmanned aircraft is believed to be around the same size as Boeing’s X-45, which has a span of 10.3m (33ft 10in) and length of 8m”
This is supposed to be a full tech demonstrator, this would mean the Barracuda project is years ahead of the French Neuron of wich a technological demonstrator is estimated for 2011!
Don’t forget that EADS had a lot of technological transfer with the USA, they are currently updating the German Global Hawks and they work on a European version of Predator aswell!
I hope the Luftwaffe will invest in this project, its just amazing how this project was kept secret all over the years while the French President is showing off in front of a wodden model of the Neuron wich doesnt even have wheels to impress the worldpress.
btw, Spain seems to have left Neuron Programm
:dev2:
Go Luftwaffe Go !
Germany also Pulls Ahead in army uav/ucav technology
The army ordered:
120 Luna UAV’s
60 KZO UAV’s
936 Taifun UCAV’s
+ Hundrets of Aladin Infantry Drones
P.S. he put that small Barracuda pictures online for internet Forums
