Manufacturer catalog
Dassault-Breguet was the merged French aerospace manufacturer that became Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation after the 1971 Dassault-Breguet merger. It anchors the Dassault-Breguet manufacturing lineage behind French combat aircraft, business aviation, and cooperative military-aircraft programs such as the Alpha Jet.
1 weaponsDassault-Breguet marks the period when Breguet Aviation was folded into the Dassault industrial line and the merged company operated as Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation, or AMD-BA. That transition sits between the earlier Dassault and Breguet aviation businesses and the later Dassault Aviation name used from 1990 onward.
The AMD-BA period coincided with French state industrial rationalization, Dassault's concentration on combat aircraft and business aviation, and a production model built around Dassault-led design work plus a wider French supplier base. Dassault's own history records the company as France's leading aviation exporter in the late 1970s, with major export orders tied to aircraft, engines, radars, and missiles.
The catalog connection is strongest where aircraft records trace back to AMD-BA-era design, production, or cooperative programs. The Alpha Jet links Dassault-Breguet to a Franco-German trainer and light-attack program with Dornier; the Mirage 2000 represents the company's late-1970s move into mass-produced fly-by-wire combat aircraft; and the Mirage F1 production period overlaps the merged company's early 1970s operations.
Dassault and Dornier designed the Alpha Jet as a twin-engine, twin-seat trainer and tactical-support aircraft; Dassault's own history pages identify it as the first Dassault trainer jet built as a cooperative venture.

Dassault Aviation's own history pages record the transition through the 1967 Breguet capital acquisition, the 1971 merger finalization, and the 1990 rename. The legacy Dassault-Breguet name remains the canonical manufacturer label for this historical period, with the successor company's Saint-Cloud headquarters used as the current public reference point.
