of 38 aircraft from Germany in November 2020, and more recently the order of 20 aircraft from Spain in June 2022 to replace the ageing fleet of EF-18A Hornets. By the end of 2022 a total of 584 aircraft were delivered. Export opportunities are being actively developed together with the other shareholders of the Eurofighter consortium. C295 – Light and Medium military transport/mission aircraft. The C295 is the workhorse of tactical military transport, conducting logistical missions including the transport and delivery of personnel and cargo as well as medical evacuations. The aircraft are deployed in demanding operational environments and have been used for humanitarian missions. The aircraft are also offered as a dedicated mission aircraft with configurations beyond the traditional airlifter version, for example maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare, airborne early warning and control, firefighting and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“ ISR ”), among other missions. In service for more than 20 years, this family of aircraft has proven to be robust, reliable, high-performing, efficient, flexible, easy to operate in any environment, and with low operating costs. 280 orders have been recorded for the C295 by 39 operators at the end of 2022, including the historical order by the Indian Air Force in 2021 for 56 C295 to replace their legacy fleet. In the field of UAS platforms, Airbus Defence and Space is active at both product and service level, supplying robust and dependable solutions for customers across military, commercial and institutional markets. Solutions span from tactical UAS to stratospheric solar powered High Altitude Platform Station (“ HAPS ”). Eurodrone – Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (“ MALE RPAS ”) is the first unmanned aerial system designed for flight in non-segregated airspace. It will give Europe its own unparalleled competencies in the field of UAS, offering advanced strategic performance capabilities. The characteristics will include mission modularity for ISR missions, guaranteeing European sovereignty. As a four-nation project, Eurodrone will strengthen European sovereignty by establishing and expanding an independent technological base in the field of unmanned aviation. The programme between Germany, France, Spain and Italy and under the management of the international armaments agency, OCCAR promotes European cooperation in the field of security and defence and confirms the initiative to increasingly rely on multinational armament projects. Development, procurement and operation will be carried out jointly, which saves costs and increases efficiency. Eurodrone is designed to become one of the main pillars of any future combat air system, prepared for real integration into civil airspace based on minimal restrictions and easy transportability due to its modular design. The design will offer multi-mission capabilities and significant growth potential, for homeland operations, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (“ ISTAR ”) and armed ISTAR, which can be conducted with full operational sovereignty. Zephyr – solar-electric stratospheric HAPS is capable of flying continuously for months at a time, at around 70,000ft, above weather and conventional air traffic. It remains the only fixed-wing HAPS to have demonstrated day/night longevity in the stratosphere. It offers a range of continuous surveillance, communications and monitoring services for both military

and civil markets. In January 2023, Airbus HAPS Connectivity Solutions Ltd, the company behind Zephyr, was rebranded as AALTO HAPS Ltd, with the aim to seek external partners. Airbus plans to maintain ownership in AALTO, but will consider outside investment to help accelerate the company’s objectives. SIRTAP – Sistema RPAS Táctico de Altas Prestaciones (or High Performance Remotely Manned System) is the next generation tactical fixed-wing UAS designed to meet the operational requirements of armed forces and governmental agencies around the world, providing an extended endurance and flexible payload in a range of capabilities adapted to fulfil ISR missions across military and civil markets. Thanks to its dual-use, it will be capable of carrying missions such as maritime surveillance, search and rescue, natural disaster relief, fire fighting support, as well as target identification, damage evaluation operations, ISTAR missions and convoy protection, among others. Next generation air superiority programmes such as FCAS will feature strong UAS components, spurring the development of different types of Remote Carriers, and leveraging Manned Unmanned Teaming (“ MUM-T ”) technologies. Military Air Systems Services. Airbus Defence and Space offers and provides various services for and related to military aircraft and UAS. Throughout the life-time of our aircraft, the company offers integrated logistics support, in-service support, maintenance and upgrades, along with training and flight hour services. For example, the A330 MRTT contract with the UK Ministry of Defence through the Air Tanker consortium includes the provision for all necessary infrastructure, training, maintenance, flight management, fleet management and ground services to enable the Royal Air Force to fly air-to-air refuelling and transport missions worldwide. Services support legacy aircraft beyond those types currently in production at Airbus Defence and Space, conducting upgrade programmes for aircraft such as the Tornado and NATO’s Airborne Warning and Control System (“ AWACS ”). Airbus Defence and Space provides a broad range of training services for pilots, engineers, maintenance and air crews. Covering the complete pilot training path, from initial training through the Airbus Flight Academy of Europe (“ AFAE ”), to type and conversion training through Airbus Defence and Space’s international training centre and training centres located at customers’ bases, as well as advanced mission training through GFD (Gesellschaft für Flugzieldarstellung GmbH), AvDef (Aviation Défense Service) and Target Systems & Services. Anticipating significant changes foreseen in the training methods, Airbus Defence and Space continues to develop the training of the future, enabled by digital, collective simulation and live virtual constructive technologies. Airbus Defence and Space maintains a network of MRO centres strategically located throughout the world for greater proximity to the customer, for example in Seville, Warsaw or Manching in Europe, in Mobile, Alabama in the US, or at subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia or Canada. Supporting more than 1,600 aircraft worldwide, the contribution of Services continues to grow. Airbus Defence and Space offers UAS services through Airbus DS Airborne Solutions GmbH, supporting German Air Force operations in Mali and FRONTEX for surveillance operations in the Mediterranean Sea. With more than 10 years experience, over 60,000 flight hours and 98% system availability, these services have demonstrated a proven and unmatched success.
