The recent manned-unmanned mission by Airbus and Europe to overthrow a fake warlord was successful, and its demonstration mission demonstrated that it is efficient in removing enormous dangers.
The "
Future Combat Air System" (FCAS), a strategic defence programme for future endeavours of the European government, was born from this featured defence system.
The emphasis is on using both manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, to neutralise potential threats in the future.
A new manned-unmanned flight demonstration will be the focus of
Airbus' most recent project with Europe, the company said in a news statement, ushering in a new era of aerial defence on the continent.

The Multi-Domain Flight Demonstration (MDFD), as the corporation calls it, involved nearly 10 vehicles in a simulation to destroy a "rogue warlord" and its defence systems.
In addition to five (5) unmanned aircraft for support, the demonstration used two fighter jets, one helicopter, and five (5) piloted aircraft.
According to Airbus, its most recent MDFD demonstrated how 10 assets working together in a single network and equipped with both autonomous and human-controlled defence systems are capable of eliminating a large target.
