Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
The HUSAR/LUNA NG Supply Contract, awarded to Rheinmetall by the German Bundeswehr in September 2023 for approximately €200 million, provides 13 LUNA NG (HUSAR) air-supported unmanned short-range reconnaissance drone systems, including 12 production systems and 1 pilot system, plus spare parts and training. These tactical UAS, each comprising 5 drones, 2 ground control systems, 2 launcher vehicles, and support equipment, enable real-time reconnaissance, object classification, and network-enabled operations with over 12 hours endurance and 5,000m altitude, following the original manufacturer's insolvency.
