The uncrewed platform combines a proven helicopter design with autonomous technology and has its first flight planned later this year.
The UK’s first piloted supersonic demonstrator in four decades is now two-thirds structurally complete with wings and tail fins in build.
The study will focus on high performance rotorcraft. The concepts will be modular and multi-mission, and fully interoperable with NATO standards, with a high degree of connectivity and resilient communication system.
The UK Tempest partners, working in close collaboration with the MoD, will now progress the maturity of more than 60 cutting-edge technology demonstrations, digital concepts and new technologies.
Engineers at BAE Systems in the north of England are leading the design, test, evaluation and build, bringing together digital engineering technologies such as synthetic modelling and model-based systems engineering.
Tempest will pioneer cutting-edge technologies, including those assisted by AI, machine learning and autonomous systems to meet the challenges of future conflicts, and be operational in the mid-2030s.
