The nEUROn unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) demonstrator made several low altitude vertical passes above French Navy (Marine Nationale) aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. These tests which took place July 6, 2016 were conducted by the French Procurement Agency (DGA) in conjunction with the French Navy and Dassault Aviation. They are part of a test campaign which objective is to study the use of a UCAV in a naval environment involving several vessels of the French Navy.

The test campaign includes interactions at sea with the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to assess the nEUROn's stealthiness relative to the naval platforms sensors. The DGA provides the project management while Dassault Aviation acts as prime contractor.

reports that the Navy established the Advanced Arresting Gear program in 2003 but it has been plagued by years of technological problems, delays and cost overruns.

A report Friday from the Defense Department Inspector General says that as of October 2015, the program had recorded a 332 percent cost increase associated with research, development, testing and evaluation. The report says that's an overrun of $571.5 million from 2005 baseline numbers.

Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, says the Navy is studying whether the system is affordable before going forward with it on future aircraft carriers. Navy officials will make a decision by December.
