Rheinmetall has completed a live demonstration of its new FV‑014 loitering munition system for a potential NATO customer, the company announced last month. The demonstration was conducted on February 18, 2026, at the National Test Centre for Unmanned Aerial Systems operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cochstedt, Saxony‑Anhalt.

During the event, the FV‑014 loitering munition system simulated multiple mission profiles and attack flight scenarios. Rheinmetall said the successful demonstration represents a further milestone in the company’s development and testing of loitering munition capabilities.
