What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?

Naval Group has selected the Netherlands’ Atmos UAV for the testing of its fixed-wing vertical take off and landing UAS solution for evaluation purposes, the company announced on 15 November.
Under a comprehensive UAS testing and integration programme, the two partners will work to further detail and finalise the development plan to integrate Atmos UAVs capabilities in the operational environment of Naval Group’s systems.
Sander Hulsman, CEO, Atmos UAV, said: ‘The design philosophy behind our technology is to create a platform that can be deployed from practically any location without compromising the high performance of a fixed wing.
‘As this capability has key benefits for deployment in marine environments we are looking forward to a fruitful collaboration with Naval Group. The environmental commitments of the group towards 2018-2020, make this partnership even more meaningful to us.’
