At the 2025 Paris Air Show, Airbus Defense and Space unveiled its latest roadmap for transforming the A400M into a platform capable of remote electronic warfare (EW) missions. In parallel, Airbus confirmed that the A400M is being considered for additional mission profiles, such as serving as a drone carrier, contributing to the architecture of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) through broadband satellite and cloud connectivity to the battlefield, and working with fire extinguishing kits with the ability to dump 20,000 liters of water per dump. In addition, the French Air Force is discussing a possible strike option capable of launching short-range missiles or guided bombs from the cargo hold or pylons on the wings.
