Thales showcases autonomous air system for Project NYX at DVD2026
As the procurement process for Project NYX, the UK’s Apache wingman drone programme, continues to unfold, the Thales team are showcasing their offering at the DVD event this year. Combining Thales autonomy and mission capability with Schiebel’s CAMCOPTER S-301 UAS, the capability is a joint offering that would support Apache helicopters with a variety of tasks, such as reconnaissance and surveillance. The system is being displayed alongside Thales’ sensor payloads.
Thales and Schiebel are proud to be competing as part of the final four contenders for Project NYX. With a strong focus on the growing importance of sovereign autonomy and crewed/uncrewed teaming in modern defence operations, and integrating advanced autonomous technologies, Thales and Schiebel aim to enhance effectiveness, adaptability, and mission success. They remain committed to delivering innovative solutions and look forward to the next phase.
