BAE Systems to work with French on Mantis Drone

Issue No. 4 | February 16-29, 2012

Britain and France are expected to sign a deal to develop a high-tech unmanned aircraft based on the top-secret Mantis project developed by BAE Systems in Lancashire.

The plane, capable of striking from high altitudes after travelling huge distances, will be designed by BAE and Dassault Aviation.

The long-awaited £1 billion Mantis deal is seen as being highly significant. Not only will it be the first fruits of the Franco-British Treaty on Defence Cooperation signed early last year, it also virtually confirms that manned fighter aircraft such as the Typhoon will be superseded within a few decades.
