Airbus SE (AIR.FR) said Monday that it has delivered a joint industrial proposal with Dassault Aviation SA (AM.FR) to the French and German governments regarding the Future Combat Air System program that they are developing together.

The European plane maker said the proposal was for the first demonstrator phase of the FCAS as the companies revealed two air combat models--a new generation fighter and remote carriers--to the public during the first day of the Paris Air Show.

"This demonstrator phase will cover the period between 2019 and mid-2021 and will serve as a starting point for demonstrators and technology development for a new generation fighter, remote carriers and an air combat cloud to fly by 2026," Airbus said.

Airbus also separately said Monday that the French and German governments welcomed Spain as a partner in the FCAS program.

"Three Airbus home nations now form the core part of Europe's most decisive military aviation program for the next decades," the plane maker said.
