Key Takeaways:

  • Airbus unveiled two new significant uncrewed aircraft at ILA Berlin: the U145, an autonomous variant of its H145 helicopter, and the U760 Ravenstorm, a new uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft (UCCA).
  • Both the U145 and Ravenstorm are designed for crewed-uncrewed teaming, with the U145 aimed at diverse civil and military applications (cargo, surveillance, interception) and the Ravenstorm focused on combat roles (air-to-ground/air-to-air strikes, electronic warfare).
  • These platforms represent Airbus's expanding portfolio in autonomous aviation, with test flights for the U145 beginning this year and both the U145 and Ravenstorm projected to enter service in the early 2030s.

Two new uncrewed aircraft are on display at Airbus’ corner of the ILA Berlin Air Show in Germany this week.

Airbus earlier this week said its booth at the air show would introduce the U145—an autonomous, uncrewed variant of its H145 helicopter. Joining the full-scale U145 mockup at ILA Berlin is a 1:1 scale model of the manufacturer’s U760 Ravenstorm, revealed Tuesday as the “next evolution” in its family of uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft (UCCA).
