  L’annonce d’un réarmement massif en Europe est-elle un tournant pour l’industrie française ?

  L'Express détaille dans un dossier les perspectives stratégiques pour l'industrie française face aux réarmements en Europe et à la suite d'un rapport parlementaire sur l'état de nos forces armées face à une guerre de haute intensité à horizon 2030. L'idée est d'envisager un budget à la hauteur, le nombre des avions de combat (dans l'Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace et la Marine) étant passé par exemple, de 686 en 1991 à 254 unités en 2021. Si la loi de programmation militaire engage 295 Md€ sur sept ans, la marche reste haute face au conflit en Ukraine. Comme le rappelle le Président-directeur général de Dassault Aviation, Eric Trappier, « La guerre en Europe est un choc. La menace est à nos portes. Il faut réagir vite. C'est la fin des dividendes de la paix ». Suivant l'exemple français, l'Allemagne et la Suède amorcent un réarmement, comme en témoigne le nouvel investissement de 100 Md€ allemand dans sa défense. Le défi pour le secteur industriel est grand, Eric Trappier appelle « l'actionnariat privé à rentrer dans les activités de défense puisque l'Etat ne peut pas tout », comme il l'a martelé fin mars face aux parlementaires. Le danger reste la vulnérabilité de la chaîne de sous-traitance et le risque de perte en compétence, alors que les cycles de fabrication sont longs. « Pour être prêt dans un an, il faut démarrer maintenant", presse Marc Darmon, Directeur général adjoint de Thales.

  Rheinmetall signs framework contract worth around 2 billion euros: 4,000 military trucks for the Bundeswehr

  June 18, 2020 - Rheinmetall has won another major order for logistic vehicles. Germany's Federal Office for Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has entered a framework contract with Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) for delivery of up to 4,000 swap body systems, many of which will feature armoured driver's cabs. Running from 2021 to 2027 for Rheinmetall the framework contract represents around €2 billion in total sales volume. To begin with, the Group will supply the Bundeswehr with an initial tranche of 540 vehicles. Worth around €348 million including VAT, they have now been taken under contract. Of these 540 vehicles, 230 will be protected. Delivery will start early next year, making sure that the Bundeswehr has an adequate number of vehicles in 2023 when Germany takes over leadership of NATO's spearhead: the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, or VJTF. The protected swap body systems enhance the survivability and sustainment capability of the Logistics Corps, as well as strengthening its tactical flexibility. Unlike the Unprotected Transport Vehicle (UTF), likewise supplied by RMMV, these systems will be predominately deployed in forward operating areas, where, for instance, they will be used for supplying ammunition to frontline combat units, e.g. artillery batteries. Assuring excellent off-road mobility, RMMV's robust, all-terrain-capable HX 8x8 vehicles can be optionally fitted with a protected cab. Standard features include a hook loader developed by the Hiab company, which can quickly lift and set down the accompanying flat racks. In addition, the vehicles can accommodate an interchangeable platform or a container via the standardized 20-foot ISO interfaces. Identical operator interfaces and a high degree of commonality and component uniformity with the UTF vehicle family facilitate training, operations and logistics. Owing to the significant reduction in training time for crewmembers and maintenance personnel as well as the extensive commonality of spare parts and special tools, full utilization can be achieved faster – coupled with greater economic efficiency for the procurement authorities and user alike. This new order widens Rheinmetall's lead as one of the world's foremost makers of logistic systems and vehicles. Since the award of the 7-year UTF framework by BAAINBw on 5 July 2017, 1,250 out of a total of 2271 vehicles have already been shipped. Most of the principal components – the engines, axles, transmissions and build-ons – are made in Germany; assembly of the vehicles takes place at the RMMV plant in Vienna. Especially when it comes to multinational operations, the extensive global presence of RMMV vehicles offers major advantages with regard to interoperability and logistics. The current circle of user nations includes – among others – the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. Norway and Sweden have also placed substantial truck orders with Rheinmetall.
