Unmanned EC155B1 flew June 2008
Just saw this on AIrbus Helicopters FB page that deaced ago to the day, then Eurocopter flew unmanned EC155B1.
Cannot remember which publication I read it, but the unmanned 155 was part of a classified French MoD project.

The photo shows it is clearly manned so I’m assuming he was a ‘hands off’ Safety pilot and it was remotely piloted. Or, it’s a stock photo of the aircraft, which was also used as a test bed for lots of other projects.
