The demonstrator program includes flights from a frigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naval Group and Airbus Helicopters will work with H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Guimbal, a small to medium-sized company that builds the two-seat Cabri G2 light helicopter, the DGA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thales as well as Safran Electronics &amp; Defense will also work on the project, drawing on technology and capabilities on fixed-wing drones acquired through research requested by the procurement office since 2005, the DGA said. Other small and medium companies, mostly French, will be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe contract covers de-risking studies ahead of construction of a future tactical helicopter drone demonstrator aboard warships,\u201d Naval Group and Airbus Helicopters said in a joint statement. The project aims to conduct trials of the airborne vehicle, launch and mission systems, working on a French Navy vessel. Onera, the aerospace research office, is one of the main subcontractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a
