The Neuron successfully complete the flight test campaign in Italy
(Defensa.com) The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Combat (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle, UCAV) Neuron has taken a significant step with the completion of the phase of flight testing, a breakthrough for this important multinational European defense system. The Neuron is basically a full-scale demonstrator system with which reliably subsequently develop an operational European UCAV, a project jointly involved major aeronautical industries of the Continent, led by France's Dassault Aviation and with the collaboration of the Italian Finmeccanica-Alenia Aermacchi, the Swedish Saab, the multinational Airbus Defence and Space (ADS), the RUAG Swiss and Greek HAI.
To conduct test flights, the aircraft was deployed at the base of the Italian Aaérea Force Decimomannu, in Sardinia, which has in its vicinity with a bounded air traffic areas for flight testing and training .During the campaign training flights the Neuron has fulfilled a number of test runs twelve flights very sensitive in that there has been combat capability of the apparatus, being able to check its low radar signature (technically radar cross-section) and infrared. The tests were done flying at different altitudes and with different flight profiles, and the threat of locating both ground radar stations and interceptor high-performance devices, such as a Eurofighter who participated in the trial test of the "ghosts" capabilities that incorporates technologies Neuron. During deployment of the system in Sardinia it has confirmed its superb performance and operational reliability to these threats.
Last summer, for the next phase of testing, the unit will move to Sweden, more exactly Vidsel Air Base, where, in Annex Proving Ground Defence Ministry of Sweden, held a new series of flight tests . Thus, in a scenario so radically different, you can check flight capacity in low visibility conditions, and additionally its performance when carrying the hold open arms, when it is easier to detect these technology devices "ghost".
These phases of Neuron tests are a key step in the maturation of the technology system, especially helping to reduce risk levels and very important future investment must provide European countries in the field of technologies for UAS "ghosts ", as a prelude to later acquire fully operational systems UCAS.

This is just posturing is all. The truth is it doesn't matter if the fox 3 comes from a raptor, an eagle or shot out the assend of a cargo. I am pretty sure any intentional downing of Russian fighters by NATO or vice versa would quickly escalate down a path of unintended and dangerous consequences.
I am however a big fan or overseas deployment especially for fast movers because it gives the pilot familiarity with the terrain and local environments in case they have to do it for real one day.
A smart politician would say they deploy to deter but in reality it's more intense training for the driver and the crew. Also intra-operability and acquiring local knowledge of local allies. A dumb politician would actually believe he's trying to deter something.
Bell and TAI are getting ready to supply attack helicopters to Poland once they finally establish their formal tender.
TAI has already singed MoUs with polish companies, should the T129 be selected. They seem to be willing to even offer local production.

Airbus Enlarges Facilities in Spain
MADRID — Airbus Defence and Space has increased its facilities for the military transport plane in Seville after renting a new hangar to update and maintain aircraft in service. A French Air Force is already being modernized there.
The new hangar, owned by Greenmark S.L., is located next to the A400M final assembly line in Seville and has 6,000 square meters of . Airbus DS will have an extra 11,000 square meters handed over by the Spanish Air Force. The agreement is valid until 2022, the European manufacturer reported.
This announcement comes four months after the crash of an Airbus A400M during a test flight in Seville, killing four of the six people on board and seriously injuring the other two.
The production plan for this year is under review following that accident. However, Airbus DS is still targeting at least 13 aircraft in 2015. The UK Royal Air Force will be the next client to receive an .
Five national air forces include the aircraft in their fleets: France (6), United Kingdom (2), Turkey (2), Germany (1) and Malaysia (1).
The first was delivered in 2013. A total of 174 have been ordered, but the company has been having difficulties meeting its delivery schedule, prompting Airbus to shake up its management program in January.
Airbus DS is moving the headquarters of the A400M program from Toulouse, France, to Seville, a change that will involve the arrival of 100 extra engineers in Seville.

Elbit Systems supplies a system based intelligence UAV to a European customer for $ 78 million
(Defensa.com) Elbit Systems has been awarded a contract of $ 78 million to provide an intelligence system based on long-range unmanned aerial vehicle for a European client. As usual among Israeli manufacturers, the country is not identified and only system electro-reaching intelligence AMPS (Advanced Multi-Sensor Payload System) is cited. Neither the aerial platform or the number of aircraft mentioned and cited only the contract will take place over the next two years. It is the responsibility of the new business unit ISTAR Elbit Systems Division, resulting from the merger of the division of UAVs and the subsidiary Elop dedicated to electro-optical systems.
It is a system for acquiring long-range intelligence employing several electro-optical sensors for night visual information, day or in difficult weather conditions. The AMPS is a system of detection, recognition and designation of long-range goals TV equipped with sensors of high performance third generation FLIR and CCD sensor type, equipment installed on a swiveling turret is installed under the fuselage. The system allows accurate geolocation targets detected by the sensors.
Elbit Systems markets the AMPS for installation in both manned and unmanned platforms, being the Hermes 900 unmanned platform that offers usually given its great capacity for loading systems (350 kilos) compared to the weight of AMPS (85 kilos). Right now the only European customer Hermes 900 is Switzerland, which selected in June last year this UAV MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) to replace the Ranger IAI Precisely it was then announced that the date of entry into service of Hermes 900 in the Ministry of Defence and Civil Protection of the country is 2,017, which would coincide within two years of delivery mentioned by the company.
The Hermes 900 UAS evaluated for the Swiss program 15 were equipped with different electro-optical systems, namely turret COMPASS electro and electro-optical system LASSO long-range surveillance, and a synthetic aperture radar. The Large Area Scanning Operation (LASSO) Hermes 900 allows the automated operation of the multispectral information obtained and the mapping of large surfaces. It is therefore likely that this contract relates to the supply of electro-intelligence systems reaching for the Swiss program, replacing the LASSO system that was introduced Hermes 900 chosen by this country.
