BAE Systems/Dassault Telemos

[3] A mockup of Telemos was unveiled at the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget in 2011; by this time BAE and Dassault were cooperating closely, with BAE in the lead role.

Telemos was expected to be a competitor with the EADS Talarion and American UAVs for a future order by the South Korean government.

There was an exclusive agreement between BAE Systems and Dassault; they would not cooperate with other partners to develop UAVs.

Lacking serious rivals in the UK, this made the BAE/Dassault partnership much more likely to get contracts from the British government.

[1] Both turboprops and turbofans were considered for the initial design; the mockup shown at Le Bourget had turboprops, which would allow longer endurance at the cost of slower climbing.
