    Développé par A-NSE, le ballon captif convainc la Bundeswehr engagée au Sahel

    DÉFENSE Développé par A-NSE, le ballon captif convainc la Bundeswehr engagée au Sahel Après dix ans de développement, l'entreprise française A-NSE (Aero-Nautic Services & Engineering) voit ses efforts couronnés de succès, avec la vente d'un aérostat capital qui sera exploité par l'armée allemande dans le cadre de son déploiement au Niger. Doté de nombreux capteurs et de caméras longue portée, il permettra de repérer 7 jours sur 7 et 24 heures sur 24 tout mouvement potentiellement hostile à des dizaines de kilomètres à la ronde. « Ce contrat est une référence de prestige qui signe les débuts industriels du marché des ballons captifs » annonce Baptiste Regas, président cofondateur d'A-NSE. Trois brevets protègent les techniques développées par la société qui a vendu une quinzaine de spécimens. « Nous avons amélioré leur autonomie et leur coût d'exploitation (...) le ballon résiste à des tempêtes de 120km/h, peut transporter un tiers de masse supplémentaire, dispose de quatre fois plus d'autonomie en vol (40 jours) et nécessite moins de personnel au sol » explique le dirigeant. L'entreprise termina l'exercice en cours autour de 3 M€ de chiffre d'affaires et dispose déjà d'un carnet de commandes fourni pour l'année 2022. Une ascension qui devrait se poursuivre dans les années à venir, les besoins dans le domaine allant croissant. Les Echos du 11 octobre

    Lockheed’s F-35 program head to lead aeronautics biz

    By: Valerie Insinna WASHINGTON — Lockheed Martin announced Jan. 29 the appointment of Greg Ulmer as the company's executive vice president of aeronautics, making him the top executive overseeing flagship aviation programs such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as well as the secretive Skunk Works development shop. Ulmer, 56, has spent the past three years leading the F-35 program, Lockheed's largest effort and one of its biggest money makers. As vice president and general manager, Ulmer oversaw the program as the focus transitioned from development to driving down procurement and sustainment costs. He also previously worked as the head of operations at Skunk Works, the advanced development arm of Lockheed known for its work on secret projects. “With Greg's wide-ranging experience and impressive record of leadership, we are confident that Aeronautics will continue its legacy of success under his leadership,” said Lockheed President and CEO Jim Taiclet. Ulmer replaces Michele Evans, who passed away earlier this month. Over the past two years, Evans had taken medical leaves of absence due to a cancer diagnosis. During those periods, Ulmer filled in as the head of the aeronautics business. He officially takes over the executive vice president role on Feb. 1, the company stated. Ulmer graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering and obtained a master's degree in business management from the University of Tennessee. In addition to Ulmer's appointment, the company announced that Taiclet will become chairman of the board on March 1, after former CEO Marillyn Hewson retires as executive chairman. Hewson will continue work as a strategic adviser to Taiclet until Feb. 28, 2022. https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2021/01/29/lockheeds-f-35-program-head-to-lead-aeronautics-biz
