  • Joint Press Release
    Joint Press Release Demonstrator phase launched: Future Combat Air System takes major step forward @AirbusDefence @dassault_onair @MTUaeroeng @Safran @ThalesGroup Paris/ Munich, 12 February 2020 – The governments of France and Germany have awarded Dassault Aviation, Airbus, together with their partners MTU Aero Engines, Safran, MBDA and Thales, the initial framework contract (Phase 1A), which launches the demonstrator phase for the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). This framework contract covers a first period of 18 months and initiates work on developing the demonstrators and maturing cutting-edge technologies, with the ambition to begin flight tests as soon as 2026. Since early 2019, the industrial partners have been working on the future architecture as part of the programme’s so called Joint Concept Study. Now, the FCAS programme enters into another decisive phase with the launch of the demonstrator phase. This phase will, in a first step, focus on the main technological challenges per domains: Next Generation Fighter (NGF), with Dassault Aviation as prime contractor and Airbus as main partner, to be the core element of Future Combat Air System, Unmanned systems Remote Carrier (RC) with Airbus as prime contractor and MBDA as main partner, Combat Cloud (CC) with Airbus as prime contractor and Thales as main partner, Engine with Safran and MTU as main partner. A Simulation Environment will be jointly developed between the involved companies to ensure the consistency between demonstrators. The launch of the Demonstrator Phase underlines the political confidence and determination of the FCAS partner nations and the associated industry to move forward and cooperate in a fair and balanced manner.

  • Introduction of Unmanned Airborne Combat Systems Into Future Threat Scenarios: Opportunities and Challenges
    Introduction of Unmanned Airborne Combat Systems into Future Threat Scenarios: Opportunities and Challenges Marco Weiß, Johannes Haindl, Florian Gräßel Airbus Defence & Space GmbH Military Aircraft Future Projects Rechliner Straße, 85077 Manching GERMANY {marco.m.weiss, johannes.haindl, florian.graessel} @airbus.com ABSTRACT In future air combat, the integration of unmanned cooperative systems will be a potentially huge force multiplicator. Key factors for its success will be teaming intelligence, coordinated mission planning and cross-platform mission management. Therefore, the task of conceptualizing the next generation airborne weapon system requires a holistic system-of-systems approach that considers the different air vehicles itself, their avionics mission systems and the overall concept of operation against future threats. For early validation of possible solution concepts and assessment of their operational performance, a dynamic multi- agent combat simulation has been developed over the last years within Airbus Defence & Space Future Projects. In addition to its faster-than-real-time engineering functionality, the simulation allows real-time human-in-the-loop experiments to foster collaboration between engineers, operators and customers. This paper presents our approach to dynamic mission simulation and insights from the application of our tool during the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) studies, during which it became clear what will be a key challenge for future applications: Implementing a robust high-level planning algorithm that generates ad- hoc mission plans for complex air operations while considering reactive low-level agent behaviour, human operators and online user input. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Every new fighter generation can be defined over one or multiple technological leaps that significantly discriminate the design of its members from the ones of the previous generation.
