MASSY, 10 septembre 2019 - ThalesRaytheonSystems et Leonardo renforcent leur coopération sur l'ensemble du périmètre ACCS. Cette coopération portera sur le soutien du système sur site, le déploiement de l'ACCS sur de nouveaux sites et les rétrofits de sites actuels. Elle permettra aussi de faire bénéficier l'ACCS de plusieurs innovations développées par Leonardo dans le domaine des C2, des communications, des traitements radar et de la défense antimissile balistique. Via cet accord, ThalesRaytheonSystems, Leonardo et leurs partenaires proposeront à l'OTAN et aux opérateurs des Nations membres le meilleur des technologies disponibles sur le marché. Ces nouvelles coopérations vont permettre de gérer de façon plus dynamique et innovante les évolutions d'ACCS. L'ACCS est opérationnel en Italie depuis mars 2015 et le système est en cours de transition dans 10 pays de l'OTAN. La composante anti-missile est opérationnelle depuis 2012 et la composante déployable de l'OTAN est utilisée depuis 2015 dans un certain nombre de pays de l'Alliance. Le système de contrôle et commandement aérien aide les nations membres des pays de l'Alliance à renforcer la souveraineté de leurs territoires, la protection de leurs populations et de leurs forces armées contre toute menace aérienne, y compris les missiles balistiques. Pour les aider à assurer cette mission, ThalesRaytheonSystems développe ACCS, un système unique de commandement et de contrôle aérien unifié et interopérable qui permettra aux pays membres de gérer tous types d'opérations aériennes, tant au-dessus du territoire des pays européens de l'OTAN que lors de déploiements extérieurs. Une fois pleinement déployé, l'ACCS de l'OTAN couvrira 10 millions de km² d'espace aérien. Depuis le début du programme ACCS, plus de 40 entreprises de 15 Nations de l'OTAN ont participé au projet. Leonardo est un partenaire historique fournissant le composant essentiel de fusion des données de plus de 50 types de radars appartenant aux pays membres de l'OTAN. « ThalesRaytheonSystems souhaite renforcer les apports technologiques sur l'ACCS afin de proposer à l'OTAN les dernières innovations de ses partenaires industriels. » Thierry Weulersse, Président-directeur général de ThalesRaytheonSystems « Avant l'ACCS, chaque pays disposait de son propre système. Les membres de l'Alliance bénéficieront bientôt de capacités unifiées qui constituent une véritable révolution en matière d'opérations aériennes. ThalesRaytheonSystems continue d'investir avec ses partenaires pour soutenir l'OTAN dans ses actions et sa transformation. » Thomas Got, Directeur général des activités opérations aériennes et systèmes d'armes de Thales. « L'évolution prévue par ce protocole d'accord est une nouvelle reconnaissance des capacités que Leonardo peut offrir à l'OTAN dans le cadre de l'évolution de l'ACCS vers la défense antimissile aérienne intégrée », a déclaré Manlio Cuccaro, Directeur général adjoint de l'électronique de défense terrestre et navale Italie chez Leonardo. « Leonardo a joué un rôle clé au cours des deux dernières décennies dans la définition et le développement du projet ACCS et nous sommes impatients de renforcer de plus en plus cette relation avec TRS ». https://www.thalesgroup.com/fr/group/press-release/thalesraytheonsystems-et-leonardo-renforcent-leur-cooperation-activites-du

Le Gican a procédé à une réorganisation de ses services. Pour le Groupement des industries de la construction et des activités navales, il s'agit de "correspondre plus efficacement aux exigences du secteur" dans le contexte d'une "consolidation du Comité stratégique de filière des industries de la mer". L'objectif est de "se concentrer, en plus de la logique métier liée à la construction et à la réparation navale civile et de défense, sur la R&D, l'internationalisation et l'export, la transformation numérique des entreprises et l'attractivité des métiers, mais les exigences du secteur naval ne peuvent négliger le lien fort aux adhérents et aux territoires, et la nécessaire promotion du secteur par une communication et des relations publiques repensées". L'organigramme du Groupement se concentrera désormais autour de six délégations réparties dans trois pôles de compétences : Vie de l'organisation (relations avec les adhérents, relations publiques...), Métiers du naval (chantiers, activités civiles, équipementiers, énergies marines, défense et sécurité) et Industrie (R&D, numérique, internationalisation, export). Ce remaniement a entraîné la nomination de trois personnes. Jean-Marie Dumon s'est vu confier le poste de délégué à la défense et la sécurité, placé dans le Pôle métiers. Cet officier de marine et ingénieur a exercé des responsabilités variées pendant plus de trente ans dans la Marine nationale, dont deux commandements à la mer. Il a également travaillé auprès de hautes autorités du ministère des Armées, en particulier sur la stratégie de réformes. Arnaud Martins Da Torre a été nommé délégué à l'internationalisation des entreprises et à l'export (Pôle industrie). Il a été durant trois ans chercheur spécialiste des conflits et des questions de défense à l'Iris (Institut des relations internationales et stratégiques). Depuis 2001, il travaillait pour Eurotradia International, cabinet de conseil et d'accompagnement à l'export et à l'international. Enfin, Jacques Orjubin a hérité le poste de délégué à la communication et aux relations publiques (Pôle vie). Il a notamment travaillé au cabinet du secrétaire d'État aux Transports, à la Mer et à la Pêche, d'abord à la communication puis en tant que chargé de mission pour le dossier taxis/VTC/LOTI, avant de rejoindre le secrétariat général du Groupe SNCF pour travailler sur des questions de diplomatie économique. https://www.lantenne.com/Le-Gican-se-tourne-vers-l-international-et-le-numerique_a44101.html
