The Dassault Falcon Epicure is a project of Dassault Aviation and Thales[1] for a surveillance, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare aircraft. This will replace by 2025 the two Transall Gabriel currently used by the French Air Force[2] for strategic missions of electronic warfare and airborne espionage. Falcon Epicure will be developed from the Falcon 7X[3] as the basis for work. It is currently unknown whether or not the aircraft will be refueled.
In the French Air Force this aircraft will be part of the CUGE program,[4] for Capacité Universelle de Guerre Électronique or in English Universal Electronic Warfare Capacity.
