Renault Group will produce Thales' Toutatis remotely operated loitering munitions, with a production target of 1,000 units per month.
The partnership aims to significantly ramp up France's industrial capacity in a strategic area, with loitering munitions playing a central role in the war in Ukraine.
The deal will increase output by switching from 3D printing to larger-scale plastic injection molding, with the drone's design being adapted to allow for the higher production volume, resulting in a 40% reduction in parts and fasteners, and lower costs.
