The goal of the development of the Barracuda is to get experience with Unmanned Aircraft. Alongside with reconnaissance and observation, the Barracuda should be also able to carry armament. At first it was planned to replace the reconnaissance Tornados of the Luftwaffe at some grade and in 2015 it should be able to perform combat missions. The successful First flight was at the Spanish Air Port San Javier on 2nd April 2006. The First flight was about 20 minutes long and was flown completely autonomous.

  • The EADS Barracuda is an European unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) currently under development by EADS, intended for the role of reconnaissance and also combat (UCAV). The aircraft is a joint venture between Germany and Spain. Development of the project was stopped after the first prototype crashed at sea while approaching for landing during a test flight. The program was resumed in 2008, with a second prototype being completed in November 2008. The rebuilt Barracuda underwent a series of successful flight tests in Goose Bay, Canada during July 2009, followed by further flight campaigns in 2010 and 2012. The Barracuda is primarily in competition with the Dassault nEUROn for strategic and defensive contracts. Both are stealthy and have a maximum air speed of around Mach 0.85 . While Germany and Spain are behind the Barracuda, France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece and Spain, are funding the nEUROn. Not much is known about the Barracuda as it is still in development. However the Barracuda is thought to have an operating ceiling of around and carries a maximum payload of 300 kg.
