Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe French Ministry of the Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs is seeking, through an innovation partnership, to develop and acquire a Logistics Supply Glider (PRL). The PRL is an unpowered, uninhabited glider carrying a payload of several hundred kilograms. It will be air-transported and dropped from an A400M aircraft, then automatically enter flight, cover several tens of kilometres along a pre-programmed flight plan, and land while preserving the cargo for full recovery. It is a low-cost glider whose own integrity after landing is not required. Each glider must cost no more than EUR 50,000 excluding VAT. The procedure is a formalised negotiated innovation partnership under French public procurement law, leading to framework agreements with subsequent contracts. Up to three partners will be selected to enter phase 1.
