Verified Airbus press release, 4 March 2026

What it does not test. Does not establish that any expanded Capa-X capability has been built; this funds only the first, 12 month needs-analysis phase.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Funds only 12-month needs-analysis phase on already-European Capa-X drone. European Sovereignty Index
