Future Multirole Light Aircraft (FMLA) Project

planned

The European Defence Fund plans to invest €15 million in early-stage design work for a new turboprop-powered light-attack and surveillance aircraft. The aircraft is intended to bridge the gap between aging fleets and modern technology, providing a cost-effective solution for air-to-ground operations, light attack, drone interception, and close air support. It will feature short take-off and landing capabilities, operate in diverse environmental conditions, and be adaptable for civil security missions.
