The Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) has initiated the certification process for the Eurodrone's engine, marking a significant step towards enhancing Europe's strategic autonomy in defense technology. In a recent meeting, OCCAR's Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) Programme Division convened with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to outline the activities required for certifying the Eurodrone's Catalyst engine, produced by AVIO AERO. This engine, notable for being completely ITAR free and manufactured within Europe, is set to achieve full civilian certification by EASA.
