EMBERLANCE
Intent
UK government R&D contract supporting our Ukrainian partner Airlogix to develop a new capability (Dark Horizon, DH). If EMBERLANCE results in a successful operational capability, UK MOD may place an order for DH to gift to Ukraine. Allied would produce units in the UK through the Joint Venture with Airlogix.
Scope
In scope:
- R&D work associated with EMBERLANCE contract
- Support for Airlogix DH development and testing
- JV establishment for scale-up
- Export licence preparation (Ukrainian government)
Out of scope:
- Production of other platforms (e.g. Anubis) unless EMBERLANCE path fails
Success Criteria
- Airlogix completes DH development and testing
- JV established
- Ukrainian export licence obtained
- UK MOD order for DH (or alternative route to production)
