Program Status: Under Development
Also Known As: VTOL
Origin: France and Germany
Contractor/s: EADS
Description: The VTOL is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to complement maritime aircraft and helicopters. It will operate from frigates and corvettes equipped with electro-optical (IR/CCD-TV and optional laser designator) and radar sensors. It will provide sea surveillance and over-the-horizon targeting, identification and battle damage assessment capability.
The VTOL UAV will takeoff and land vertically even under rough sea conditions. This aircraft will be controlled through a shipboard multifunction console.
