Das Transportflugzeug Airbus A400M soll defenseworld.net zufolge upgegradet werden, sodass es auch Drohnen transportieren und absetzen kann: „Airbus has developed a launcher to release unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) from the belly of an Airbus A400M military transport aircraft. […] ‚We have developed a UAV launching mechanism to launch drones from a flying A400M plane. Imagine a combat scenario where multiple remote carriers are required. If you have an A400M, you could launch them and later on multiple UAVs,‘ Andreas Heckman, Project Leader UAV Launcher, said in an official video.” (jw)
