DASSAULT AVIATION
nEUROn
under development
The Dassault nEUROn is an experimental Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) being developed with international cooperation, led by the French company Dassault Aviation.
This delta wing stealth UCAV project is the final phase of the French Dassault LOGIDUC 3-step stealth "combat drone" programme. As a "technology demonstrator", the vehicle will be produced to explore new operational concepts for a future generation of autonomous stealth fighter aircraft that will be produced in the near future. This is advocated by the statement that the industrial partners want to invest more in technology development. Dassault plans to primarily use the data collected by the demonstrator to produce derived UCAVs.

Dassault Rafale
When the RAFALE programme was launched, the French
Air Force and French Navy published a joint requirement for an omnirole
aircraft that would have to replace the seven types of combat aircraft then in
operation.
The new aircraft would have to be able to carry out a very wide range of missions: Air-defence / air-superiority, Reconnaissance, Close air support, Air-to-ground precision strike / interdiction, Anti-ship attacks, Nuclear deterrence, buddy-buddy refuelling.
These requirements were taken into account from the start of the RAFALE’s development, leading engineers to invent an aircraft which goes beyond the needs of each type of mission.
Versatile and best in all categories of missions, the RAFALE is a true “Force Multiplier”.
The RAFALE has exhibited a remarkable survivability rate during the latest French Air Force and Navy operations, thanks to an optimized airframe and to a wide range of smart and discrete sensors. It is slated to be the French armed forces prime combat aircraft until 2040 at least.

Mirage 2000-9
Upgrade only
The Mirage
2000-9, advanced multi-role combat aircraft, is the last version ever produced
of the Mirage 2000 family.
Operated in a wide variety of environment ranging from deserts to humid tropical countries, including polar and high-elevation area, deployed in many international training exercises and engaged in various fields of operation, the Mirage 2000 is a world reference in terms of availability and maintenance. Its interoperability and its performance have been well proven in combat.
The Mirage 2000-9 design has taken advantage of this huge feed-back experience from the onset of the program to improve the aircraft, the navigation and weapon system, and to implement new functionalities.
As an example, operational experience especially within multinational forces, has shown the need for an increased fuel capacity and firing power.

Falcon F900 MPA
The Falcon
900 MPA, derived from the Falcon 900 business jet, is perfectly sized for
maritime patrol missions. It is persistent, capable and safe. From the onset of
the project, the state-of-the-art mission system and the sensors suite, as well
as the platform have been developed with the necessary growth potential
provisions, in order to meet new requirements that could arise during the long
life of the aircraft.
The Falcon 900 MPA “Maritime Patrol Aircraft”, fitted with a fully-fledged advanced mission suite, is able to detect all kinds of threats and to react with the appropriate response. As the Falcon 2000 MRA, it offers an outstanding operational flexibility, as well as excellent performance.

Falcon ECR
The Falcon 2000 ECR is equipped with dedicated systems fulfilling the needs of air forces. This Falcon version is developed for missions such as: surveillance, reconnaissance, anti-surface, electronic warfare or training of fleet.
It demonstrates remarkable performance, during all the flight phases and allows a highly operational flexibility. The Falcon 2000 ECR relies on a very light logistical footprint. It can be easily deployed for overseas missions or on remote and isolated airfields.

Dassault Falcon
The Dassault Falcon has evolved significantly over the years and has become a mainstay among the bussines aircraft. The modern aircraft features an extended range to 4,800 nautical
miles. While a lot of emphasis is placed on wing aerodynamics, resulting in reduced drag and improved climb performance.The newest Falcon
jet will be provided with the EASy flight deck as standard equipment.
