The Dassault nEUROn is an experimental unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) being developed with international cooperation, led by the French company Dassault Aviation.
Countries involved in this project include France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The design goal is to create a stealthy, autonomous UAV that can function in medium-to-high threat combat zones.
This flying wing stealth UCAV project is the final phase of the French Dassault LOGIDUC 3-step stealth "combat drone" program. Until June 2005 it had the form of the original Dassault developed Grand Duc vehicle: a supersonic two-engined long-range unmanned bomber, capable of performing attacks with nuclear weapons.
Under the pressure from international cooperation, especially from Sweden and Saab, it was transformed into a demonstrator of smaller single-engine technology.
