Airbus Defence and Space and Mercury Systems Inc. said Tuesday
they agreed to a Framework Cooperation Agreement and will work
together on autonomous and flight control computer programs.
The companies said they have already cooperated on projects,
including the "development of a high-performance computing platform
by Mercury for the Airbus A3R automatic air-refueling system
onboard the A330 SMART MRTT Tanker aircraft" and "the contribution
in equipment and systems for Airbus platforms such as the
C295."
Dr. Bernhard Brenner, Airbus Defence and Space Executive VP
Marketing and Sales, said, "By this cooperation we will further
strengthen our activities in developing future solutions and
products for both piloted or autonomous flying. As Mercury is one
of our award-winning suppliers, I am particularly glad that we can
extend our successful cooperation with this agreement."
Didier Thibaud, Mercury's EVP and chief operating officer, said,
"This important initiative further solidifies our longstanding
relationship with Airbus to drive key advances in secure and
trusted autonomous technology."
