    Northrop Grumman Awarded Contract for Remote Sensing Proof of Concept

    MCLEAN, Va. – September 23, 2019 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has received a contract award from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for a proof of concept demonstration referred to as FireWatch. This contract will allow Northrop Grumman's Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, installed at CAL FIRE, to receive fire detection and location information from fused remote sensing data, enabling early detection so that first responders can take quicker action against fires as they emerge. “Being able to take rapid action against wildfires can prevent the loss of human life, property and infrastructure, while also preserving the environment and watersheds of California,” said Chris Williams, vice president, integrated fires and protective systems, Northrop Grumman. “FireWatch will demonstrate to CAL FIRE the value of up-to-the-minute remote sensing data to significantly expand their CAD capabilities.” The ability to share remote sensing data aided in the response to California's devastating fires in November 2018. With support from Northrop Grumman, U.S. government agencies were able to share information rapidly as fires changed course or new flare-ups emerged. This contract will formalize the delivery of these capabilities, thereby enabling CAL FIRE to respond even more proactively and decisively to the threat of wildfires. Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in autonomous systems, cyber, C4ISR, space, strike, and logistics and modernization to customers worldwide.

    Entretien avec Florence Parly, ministre des Armées

    La ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, accorde une interview à La Tribune. Elle aborde notamment le programme SCAF, soulignant : « les négociations qui sont aujourd'hui en phase finale concernent la réalisation de travaux qui se dérouleront sur la période 2021-2027 et qui visent à mettre en vol un démonstrateur commun à cet horizon. C'est un jalon majeur pour assurer une entrée en service d'un nouvel avion opérationnel en 2040 ». Au sujet du Rafale, la ministre se félicite du choix récent de l'avion de combat de Dassault Aviation par la Grèce et l'Egypte, rappelant que « d'autres compétitions sont encore en cours ». Ces contrats représentent « une bonne nouvelle en termes de visibilité pour la continuité de la chaîne industrielle de Dassault Aviation, Safran et Thales et les plus de 500 sous-traitants, PME et ETI, de l'écosystème Rafale. Nous pouvons placer nos commandes nationales dans un échéancier cohérent au plan opérationnel et par rapport à ce que nous avions budgété ». En matière d'exportations, « l'année 2021 sera exceptionnelle, elle l'est déjà avec 48 Rafale exportés. La dynamique est bonne », souligne la ministre. Florence Parly se félicite par ailleurs de l'attention croissante portée à la souveraineté européenne en matière de défense : l'Europe « commence à s'interroger sur la prise de participation et le rachat de groupes européens par les groupes chinois notamment », estime-t-elle.
