Aviation News – Airbus consolidates its small and medium tactical uncrewed aerial systems into one unified portfolio under its Helicopters division, aiming to enhance efficiency and market focus for defence and security customers. Airbus has merged its Survey Copter, Aliaca, and Capa-X drone systems into a single portfolio managed by Airbus Helicopters. The move, announced in Pierrelatte, France, marks a strategic effort to streamline operations across Airbus’ Helicopters and Defence and Space divisions while strengthening its position in the fast-growing tactical drone market.

Aviation News – The French Aeronautical Maintenance Directorate (DMAé) has placed an additional order with Airbus Helicopters for four U050 Capa-X uncrewed aerial systems, following a successful initial evaluation phase. The contract covers eight total aircraft split between the French Navy and French Army to strengthen the military's Light Tactical Drone System (SDTL) evaluation program. The latest acquisition builds directly on DMAé's evaluation of a single U050 Capa-X system purchased at the end of 2025.

Airbus Helicopters secured a €1.1M contract with the European Defence Agency to develop the modular Capa-X tactical drone over 48 months.
