For the Support of the TIGER Weapon System a major milestone was achieved with the signature of the Repair Frame Contract (RFC) with ECT.

On the 16th December 2010, the first French HAD TIGER performed its official first flight in Marignane, France in the presence of French and Spanish Official Services as well as ODT. This first official flight followed a few days after the actual first flight of the helicopter which was done internally by Eurocopter.
