A drone developed by the French Navy,Sirene was a supersonic naval drone meant to take out ships with its E15 free running torpedo.The French,having their Daphne still in development,seeked out a answer to Soviet ships being deployed from Germany,fearing invasion. Powered by a turbojet engine,it was capable of going up to 2250 miles per hour. However,problems with its deploying system(modified Atlantique) and its turbojet caused the government to pull funding. In the end,Sirene was scrapped.
