Dassault Aviation, Harmattan AI say NAMIB electronic warfare payload completes Rafale collaborative flight test

• Dassault Aviation disclosed a successful collaborative flight between a Rafale F4 and a drone carrying the new NAMIB electronic warfare payload.
• NAMIB detected, identified, and geolocated air-defense-related electromagnetic emissions; it pinpointed a radar several dozen kilometers away and sent coordinates to the Rafale.
• The Rafale then simulated a strike, underscoring the F4 standard’s ability to integrate drone-derived targeting data in collaborative combat.
• NAMIB, jointly developed with Harmattan AI, began development in January 2026 under a partnership focused on autonomous capabilities for future air combat systems.
