Airbus has unveiled the U760 Ravenstorm at ILA Berlin 2026, putting a new uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft concept into the centre of its European defence portfolio. The display model is pitched as a sovereign combat drone for air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare missions, with a 10-metre wingspan and a 13-metre length.
The move sharpens Airbus Defense and Space’s position in the sector’s uncrewed combat-air race. Ravenstorm is framed as part of a broader roadmap toward a scalable family of collaborative combat aircraft, while the related U740 Valkyrie effort with Kratos shows Airbus is also building out an adjacent European option for later in the decade.
For operators and procurement teams, the signal is clear: Airbus is not offering a point design but a long-range architecture. The near-term contest is now shifting from concept visibility to industrial readiness and service-entry timelines.
