Airbus Secures French Order for Vertical Takeoff Aliaca Drone After Trials

By Public Technologies
  • Airbus secured an initial French defense procurement agency order for the vertical takeoff and landing version of its U010 Aliaca drone.
  • Trials in 2024 and 2025 validated the variant, which features redesigned wings and a modified fuselage while retaining core components.
  • The upgrade enables deployment from smaller vessels, reducing preparation time and expanding operations in sea conditions unsuitable for net recovery.
  • The agency requested all seven remaining systems from its original 34-system order in the new configuration, with delivery scheduled before year-end.
  • French Navy deployment will begin on metropolitan support and assistance vessels in late 2026, followed by overseas counterparts during 2027.
