RAVEN-2: Around-The-World UAV Project
Abstract
The Raven around-the-world UAV project is part of an on-going effort to build up a significant European capability in the design, construction and operation of large UAVs and manned reconnaissance aircraft. The goal of the project is to fly a large high-altitude jet UAV non-stop and un-refueled around the world using the trans-polar route. The project will demonstrate the technology of long-range reconnaissance UAVs. It will develop the procedures and capability of operating large UAVs from conventional air bases in the conventional air traffic environment. It will establish an industrial grouping of companies capable of becoming prime-contractors for future military UAV procurements.
