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.
