The nEUROn is Europe’s first large-scale stealth combat drone demonstrator.
Capitalizing on experience gained on recent projects, the nEUROn was the world’s first military aircraft to be designed and developed entirely on a “virtual platform”, in a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) environment, enabling partner teams to work simultaneously on the same IT database, regardless of where the work was carried out.
All the teams involved from the outset of the program knew each other very well, thanks to the joint development work carried out within the same “physical platform” of the design office set up at Dassault Aviation in St-Cloud, as well as the daily implementation of remote collaborative tools using the “virtual platform”.
These same teams worked at the aircraft or on the integration bench.
This specific and innovative organization has enabled us to achieve the responsiveness required to rapidly resolve technical problems identified during program development.
