The HUSAR amendment contract is a €200 million agreement awarded to Rheinmetall by the German Bundeswehr to supply 13 LUNA NG air-supported reconnaissance drone systems (12 production systems plus 1 pilot system). The contract, signed on September 28, 2023, represents a takeover of the procurement project following the insolvency of the original manufacturer. Each HUSAR system comprises five reconnaissance drones, two ground control systems, two launcher vehicles, two antenna masts, a repair shop, and three transport platforms, designed to serve the German Army's reconnaissance branch and artillery. The LUNA NG drones feature a maximum take-off weight of 110kg and can remain airborne for over 12 hours, providing real-time reconnaissance and object classification capabilities. The contract includes spare parts and training support, with the first production system scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2025.
