Thales et Airbus vont moderniser les outils de collecte de renseignements électroniques des armées françaises
Les trois armées (air et espace, terre, mer) françaises disposeront bientôt de moyens de collecte de renseignements électroniques unifiés, fournis par Thales et Airbus. En matière de collecte de renseignements électroniques, les différentes armées françaises disposaient chacune de leurs propres technologies. Ce sera bientôt de l'histoire ancienne. La DGA (Direction générale de l'armement) a chargé fin 2020 Airbus et Thales de lui fournir des capacités de recueil du renseignement d'origine électromagnétique (ROEM) unifiées. Un contrat d'une durée de dix ans, dont le montant total n'a pas été communiqué. Dans les années à venir, les trois armées (de l'air, de terre et marine nationale) disposeront toutes du même type de capteurs, matériels et logiciels pour capter les communications de leurs adversaires sur les différents thé'tres d'opérations. De quoi améliorer leurs capacités en matière d'écoute, de radiogoniométrie (qui permet de localiser une émission hostile, radar ou radio par exemple) et d'exploitation du spectre électromagnétique, gr'ce à des technologies de dernière génération. Cette unification permettra aussi aux différents corps de mieux se coordonner. La formation des spécialistes en sera, enfin, facilitée. La DGA a passé une première commande fin 2020 pour 160 millions d'euros de matériels et logiciels, qui seront livrés à partir de 2023. Rester au niveau dans la guerre électronique Le système interarmées ROEM tactique sera utilisé sur des véhicules Scorpion en remplacement des équipements tactiques actuels, sur les navires de premier rang de la marine nationale et les avions de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2, et pour la protection de bases aériennes. Airbus et Thales fournissaient déjà certaines briques technologiques de l'arsenal déployé par la France dans la guerre électronique. Le second avait développé le programme Cohorte (système actuel de ROEM tactique utilisé par l'armée de terre), le premier le programme Ramses (Evolution du système d'information stratégique traitant des communications radio et satellite). https://www.usinenouvelle.com/article/thales-et-airbus-vont-moderniser-les-outils-de-collecte-de-renseignements-electroniques-des-armees-francaises.N1060094

General Atomics Selected for the Army’s Digital Guided Missile Program
San Diego, CA, (July 20, 2020) - General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) announced today that it has been selected as a prime contractor for the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Aviation and Missile Center's (AvMC) Digital Guided Missile (DGM) prototype program under the Aviation and Missile Technology Consortium (AMTC). GA-EMS will develop advanced missile conceptual designs in direct support of the Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) for the Army Modernization Campaign. “We are excited to be chosen to help frame the next generation of weapon systems for the U.S. Army,” stated Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS. “GA-EMS has more than a decade's worth of experience developing and advancing hypersonic weapons technologies for the joint service. We develop missile designs that have a digital model grounded with vetted modeling and simulation infrastructures. We are eager to leverage that expertise to develop competitive new ideas that better equip our men and women across a multi-domain battlespace.” GA-EMS will conduct required analysis and design to develop new missile system prototype concepts for the Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV), Future Vertical Lift (FVL), and Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Cross Functional Teams (CFTs) and their high priority missions. The DGM prototype program intends to augment critical warfighter capabilities that have potential to provide increased lethality and overmatch by 2028. “GA-EMS has organic capabilities for the development of missile systems,” stated Nick Bucci, vice president of Missile Defense and Space Systems at GA-EMS. “Our key technical personnel with decades of experience in weapons design and manufacturing, along with our flight technologies and space and air systems engineering groups located in Huntsville, AL, bring the missile development knowledge and capability needed to support the U.S. Army's critical MDOs in the 2028 timeline.” The Aviation and Missile Technology Consortium (AMTC), Other Transactional Agreement (OTA) effort, will be executed for AvMC through Advanced Technology Incorporated (ATI).
