    Le ministère des Armées augmente le budget alloué à la biodiversité

    Au congrès mondial de la nature, qui s'est déroulé du 3 au 11 septembre à Marseille, Florence Parly, la ministre des Armées, a présenté la stratégie du ministère des Armées de préservation de la biodiversité à l'horizon 2030. « C'est une stratégie à 360 degrés : j'ai souhaité qu'elle intègre autant le milieu terrestre et aérien que le milieu marin, de façon à intégrer nos trois armées. Elle se décline selon deux grands axes : mieux connaître notre patrimoine naturel et mieux le protéger », a déclaré Florence Parly. Le ministère des Armées est « un acteur méconnu mais central pour la biodiversité en France : il est le premier propriétaire foncier de l'État, avec 275 000 hectares de terrain en métropole », souligne le ministère, qui prévoit de déployer une « véritable politique de gestion durable » sur ses emprises. « Notre premier objectif est de disposer d'une cartographie de la biodiversité sur nos emprises militaires d'ici à 2025 » a indiqué Florence Parly. Pour mettre en œuvre sa stratégie, le ministère des Armées consacrera 3,6 millions d'euros par an à la biodiversité dès 2022, soit « 12 fois plus que le budget alloué à la protection de la biodiversité par le ministère en 2017 », a souligné la ministre. Pour l'année 2021, cette somme est fixée à 2,6 millions d'euros. Les Echos du 13 septembre

    BAE Systems to Develop Advanced Decoy Countermeasures to Protect Aircraft From Future Threats

    October 28, 2019 - BAE Systems announced a $36.7 million contract from the U.S. Navy to develop and demonstrate a next-generation, dual band Fiber-Optic Towed Decoy (FOTD) to protect aircraft and pilots from advanced threats. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191028005081/en/ BAE Systems' FOTDs are radio-frequency countermeasure systems that provide robust self-protection capabilities for any aircraft, including fighters, bombers, and transports. The company's Dual Band Decoy development work is intended to expand the capabilities of its combat-proven AN/ALE-55 FOTD. “Our towed decoys enable pilots to execute missions in highly contested airspace,” said Tom McCarthy, Dual Band Decoy Program Director at BAE Systems. “ALE-55 FOTD is a reliable, high-powered jamming system with years of mission success on the F/A-18E/F and extensive flight-testing on a variety of aircraft. Under this new Dual Band Decoy contract, our focus will be building upon the ALE-55's proven performance in order to defeat the threats of tomorrow.” The primary role of the decoy is to protect the warfighter by luring threat missiles away from the aircraft. The decoy also combines techniques that disrupt adversaries' radar, preventing missile launch from occurring. Much like the ALE-55 FOTD, the Dual Band Decoy will interface with onboard electronic warfare (EW) equipment, but it can also operate independently, enhancing its effectiveness against current and future threats. BAE Systems recently celebrated the production of its 3,000th ALE-55 FOTD unit – a milestone that builds on the company's leadership and technical strength in EW. The Dual Band Decoy engineering work will be performed at the company's facilities in Nashua, New Hampshire and will leverage the company's existing technologies and expertise.
