Germany's "Agile unmanned air vehicle in a networked environment" demonstration may evolve into a common European long-endurance UAV development project if enough nations join, says Wulf Hausen, head of UAV programmes in the German federal office of defence technology.

Talks are continuing with other European nations on options for development of a European medium-endurance UAV, he says, with this including the option for expansion of Agile into a wider programme.

The EADS-developed Barracuda high-speed reconnaissance UAV demonstrator could form part of the future programme, he says. Final decisions and commitments are still to be made by European governments interested in acquiring similar capabilities, he says.
