M is AURA AERO’s defense division, dedicated to developing innovative aerospace solutions for armed forces. Leveraging the industrial capabilities and certification expertise of a recognized aircraft manufacturer, M designs and produces aircraft, drones, and digital systems tailored to the operational requirements of modern missions.
Through rapid prototyping capabilities, a design-to-cost approach, and the integration of advanced technologies such as next-generation propulsion systems, fly-by-wire flight controls, and intelligent onboard systems, M supports armed forces in developing next-generation air superiority solutions, from requirements definition to operational deployment.
With a comprehensive portfolio ranging from a secure, next-generation low-carbon training aircraft to a sovereign, modular, and scalable combat drone, as well as hybrid aviation solutions, we have the capabilities to address the evolving needs of armed forces and the operational and environmental challenges of tomorrow. Our ambition is to become Europe’s leading provider of sovereign defense solutions."

Industrial Capabilities & Serial Production
AURA M leverages AURA AERO’s fully integrated industrial capabilities, covering the entire value chain, from engineering and design to prototyping and serial production. Originally developed for the design and manufacture of certified aircraft, these facilities enable the development and production of both manned aircraft and unmanned systems, as well as their associated subsystems, while meeting the highest standards of performance, quality, and safety. This robust industrial foundation allows AURA M to rapidly transform operational requirements into concrete, deployable solutions.
Rapid Prototyping, Accelerated Development & Open Architecture
Thanks to its rapid prototyping capabilities and agile organization, AURA M significantly shortens development cycles. This approach enables the rapid testing, iteration, and validation of innovative concepts while maintaining cost control from the earliest design phases. By combining this agility with the expertise of a certified aircraft manufacturer, AURA M is able to support armed forces from requirements definition through to operational deployment, delivering reliable, high-performance solutions tailored to the realities of the field.
Embedded Intelligence & Digital Systems
At the core of AURA M’s solutions, the integration of intelligent onboard systems plays a key role in enhancing operational capabilities. Building on robust digital foundations and leveraging the technological building blocks developed through the INTEGRAL and ERA programs, AURA M develops open, connected, and scalable architectures. These systems enable the integration of advanced functions such as decision support, partial or full autonomy, and optimized mission management, within a dual-use framework serving both civil and military applications.
