The defense ministers of France, Germany and Italy finally declared their intent to fund project definition of a European medium-altitude, long-endurance (Male) UAV today. Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Aviation and Finmeccanica will spend two years conducting the Euro-Male study. The industrial trio first combined to suggest such a project in 2013 and delivered its proposal to the three governments a year ago.
