Aura Aero’s Aura M unveils redesigned MALE UAV Enbata at Eurosatory; early CCA work points to possible 2028 flight

At Eurosatory 2026, Aura M—Aura Aero’s defense division—presented a redesigned concept for its MALE Medium Altitude Long Endurance UAV, Enbata. Aura Aero also disclosed early design efforts on a collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) that it says could fly in 2028, positioning Enbata’s maturation alongside a broader autonomous strike roadmap.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Eurosatory product reveals of MALE capabilities like Enbata affect the competitive field for persistent ISR/strike UAVs and the industrial approaches to scaling MALE airframes for European armed forces.
Aura Aero ties Enbata’s redesign to a longer-term CCA effort with a stated 2028 flight aspiration—signaling how the company is sequencing autonomy and mission systems across unmanned platforms, consistent with its push into defense via Aura M (see Aura Aero launches “Aura M”).
The disclosure lands as governments move toward real CCA procurement steps, including the US Air Force seeking nearly $1B for initial collaborative combat aircraft funding—an important demand signal for loyal-wingman-style architectures (see US Air Force seeks nearly $1B).
