On June 27th, General Frédéric Danigo, representing the 11th Parachute Brigade (BP), and Olivier Lesbre, Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO, signed a framework agreement to develop innovative field UAVs. The aim of this partnership is to establish a secure legal framework for collaboration between the two organisations. The agreement, for an initial period of 5 years, will enable a number of partnerships to be set up in various areas of research.
François du Cluzel, Head of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department at ISAE-SUPAERO, who is co-sponsor of this project, will ensure that the collaboration runs smoothly by means of the following actions:
- exchanges of information, up to and including the provision of a state-of-the-art report on UAVs and the creation of concepts;
- cooperative studies and analyses;
- production of prototypes or demonstrators;
- joint use of facilities for prototyping, testing, trials and experiments;
- participation in integrated team projects, for a given period of human resources on the same site, including the possible use of reservists;
- the loan of equipment and/or demonstrator(s) by one or other establishment.
In this way, the 11th BP will benefit from ISAE-SUPAERO’s expertise and facilities in drone research, as well as from the Institute’s innovation drive.
The topic of logistics drones is the first to give rise to a specific agreement. The aim is to be able to work together on a range of subjects of interest to the 11th BP and to its students and staff. This first project will most certainly also be the subject of an Engineering-Company Project (ECP) for 3rd year engineering students.

A win-win partnership!
