• RECCE Strike: The development of the UCAV TAIFUN is accompanied by some experiments and studies in order to increase the ability of the targeting sensor in order to indentify the targets better as well to experiment with the possibilities of the Data Exchange between UAV and ground station and to look for new concepts like target lightning with LASER designator etc.

• Micro UAV: This new concept is in parallel to the ongoing work in US studied in GE in different firms. An experiment is planned in 2000.
