  • US Army nears decision on who will build new missile defense radar prototypes

    August 21, 2019 | International, Land

    US Army nears decision on who will build new missile defense radar prototypes

    By: Jen Judson WASHINGTON — The Army is nearing a decision on who will build its Lower-Tier Air-and-Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS, which will provide the sensing capability for the future Integrated Air-and-Missile Defense System the service is developing. The service is planning to award a contract no later than the end of the fiscal year to one of the three vendors that participated in a “sense-off” competition at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, over the spring, Daryl Youngman, the deputy director in charge of Army AMD modernization, told Defense News in a recent interview. According to other sources, that decision is expected next month. The radar is part of a new AMD system that will replace the Army's Raytheon-made Patriot system. Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and a Lockheed Martin-Elta Systems team all brought radars to the White Sands sense-off and subsequently submitted proposals for the prototype competition in July. The winner will build six prototypes by the end of FY22 to prove whether the radar can be built and then fielded to a unit for evaluation. A follow-on contract for 16 additional radars is expected if all goes well. The plan leaves an opening for other radar solutions to get back in the game if the prototyping effort does not pan out. While the Army has dropped its long-prioritized requirement for a radar capable of detecting threats from 360 degrees, it now seeks a broader baseline requirement to “expand the battle space beyond what the current Patriot radar has,” Youngman said. And the system will ideally have a lot of growth potential baked in, he added. Replacing the Patriot radar has been a long time coming. The radar was first fielded in the 1980s, and the Army previously attempted to replace the system with Lockheed Martin's Medium Extended Air Defense System through an international co-development effort with Germany and Italy. But that program was canceled in the U.S. after closing out a proof-of-concept phase roughly six years ago. Since then, the Army has studied and debated how to replace the Patriot radar while Raytheon continues to upgrade its radar to keep pace with current threats. It is acknowledged that there will come a point where radar upgrades will be unable to keep up with future threats. Taking years to decide, the service moved forward on a competition to replace the radar in 2017 and chose four companies to come up with design concepts for the capability — Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Technovative Applications. Toward the end of 2018, Raytheon and Lockheed were chosen to continue technology development under that program. Defense News first broke the news last fall that the Army was attempting to hit the reset button on the LTAMDS program, deciding to host a “sense-off” to identify available radar capabilities. While LTAMDS is considered the fourth priority out of four major lines of effort with which the Cross-Functional Team in charge of AMD has defined, it is not because it's the least important, Youngman noted, but more related to schedule — where the system is in the development and fielding timeline. The AMD CFT's top priority is its command-and-control system — the Integrated Battle Command System — for its future IAMD architecture. Limited user testing will occur next spring with a decision to move into production in the fourth quarter of FY20. Manuever-Short-Range Air Defense — or M-SHORAD — is the second priority as the Army . The service is set to begin development testing of its prototypes this fall. The Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) Increment 2 program is ranked third as the Army prepares to take receipt of its interim cruise missile capability — two Iron Dome Systems — soon. The Army is in the midst of coming up with a new strategy for the IFPC system that will ultimately defend against rockets, artillery and mortar as well as cruise missiles and drone threats. The IFPC system will have to tie into the Army's IBCS system as well. https://www.defensenews.com/land/2019/08/20/us-army-nears-decision-on-who-will-build-new-missile-defense-radar-prototypes/

  • Pourquoi pas un porte-avions franco-européen ?

    October 25, 2019 | International, Aerospace

    Pourquoi pas un porte-avions franco-européen ?

    OPINION. Le porte-avions offre une capacité militaire majeure à une marine. Son déploiement, lors d'une crise, représente un signal politique fort. L'apparition d'un porte-avions aux couleurs de l'Europe serait certes « hautement symbolique », mais le symbole ne suffit pas dans les questions de défense. Par un groupe de travail au sein de l'association EuroDéfense-France(*). « Le Charles-de-Gaulle aura besoin d'un successeur », souligna Florence Parly, la ministre des Armées, au salon Euronaval en octobre 2018, en lançant une phase d'études pour la construction d'un nouveau porte-avions, qui pourrait entrer en service vers 2030-2035. Ce successeur sera-t-il isolé ? Ou en couple, comme le furent naguère le Clemenceau et le Foch ? Cette solution serait militairement préférable, permettant à la France de toujours disposer d'un b'timent opérationnel, tandis que l'autre serait en période d'entretien ou en refonte. Elle aurait toutefois un coût élevé, celui d'un seul navire étant estimé à 4,5 milliards d'euros. Le porte-avions offre une capacité militaire majeure à une marine. Son déploiement, lors d'une crise, représente un signal politique fort. Dans sa mission Clemenceau, entre mars et juillet derniers, le groupe aéronaval, constitué par le Charles de Gaulle avec ses b'timents d'accompagnement, a participé à l'opération Chammal contre Daech au Moyen-Orient, puis a rejoint la région indo-pacifique pour une série d'exercices avec les marines de l'Inde, des États-Unis, de l'Australie, de la Malaisie et du Japon, et celle de l'Egypte au retour. Combat contre le terrorisme et coopération avec nos alliés ont ainsi conjugué guerre et diplomatie. Dans sa réponse aux propositions d'Emmanuel Macron en vue d'une réforme de l'Union européenne, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, alors successeure d'Angela Merkel à la présidence de l'Union chrétienne-démocrate d'Allemagne et désormais ministre fédérale de la Défense, a écrit en mars de cette année : close volume_off « Dès à présent, l'Allemagne et la France travaillent ensemble au projet d'un futur avion de combat européen... La prochaine étape pourrait consister en un projet hautement symbolique, la construction d'un porte-avions européen commun, pour souligner le rôle de l'Union européenne dans le monde en tant que puissance garante de sécurité et de paix. » Macron et Merkel ont plusieurs fois exprimé l'ambition d'une « armée européenne. » Si l'Europe veut tenir sa place dans le concert mondial, tel qu'il se dessine avec des puissances-continent comme les États-Unis, la Chine, la Russie ou l'Inde, elle doit se doter d'une capacité militaire d'action. Des progrès indéniables sont intervenus depuis 2017, notamment gr'ce à la coopération structurée permanente, le fonds européen de défense, l'initiative européenne d'intervention, mais l'Union européenne reste loin de disposer d'une véritable armée. Un porte-avions aux couleurs de l'Europe ? L'apparition d'un porte-avions aux couleurs de l'Europe serait certes « hautement symbolique », comme l'écrit la responsable allemande, et ce navire pourrait montrer le drapeau de l'Union sur les mers du globe et aux approches des continents. Cependant, le symbole ne suffit pas dans les questions de défense. Un porte-avions est un navire de guerre et, s'il peut remplir des missions diplomatiques de présence, il faut, pour que celles-ci soient crédibles, qu'il soit aussi capable d'intervenir militairement, qu'il sache effectivement combattre. À cet égard, la réalisation d'un porte-avions peut paraître prématurée à ce stade de l'intégration européenne. Florence Parly a, en effet répondu, sur les ondes de RMC en mai dernier qu'on « n'en est pas encore tout à fait là », en évoquant les conditions d'emploi d'un tel navire. Il ne suffit pas de construire un porte-avions, encore faut-il être capable de l'employer, certes pour des missions de présence, mais également, si besoin, pour un engagement armé dans une crise ou un conflit. Or, l'on n'en est pas encore là. La brigade franco-allemande est déployée au Sahel, mais seules ses composantes françaises se battent contre les djihadistes, la partie allemande intervenant dans le cadre d'un mandat de l'Union européenne pour la formation de l'armée malienne ou dans celui de la force onusienne Minusma. Conjuguer les besoins de la France et ceux de l'Europe ? Faut-il alors abandonner l'idée d'un porte-avions européen ? Ne pourrait-on conjuguer les besoins de la France et ceux de l'Europe ? Un second porte-avions serait utile à la marine française. Un porte-avions européen signifierait une étape considérable dans l'affirmation militaire de l'Union, qui est en chemin. Pourquoi la France ne partagerait-elle pas un porte-avions ? Pourquoi ne pas engager la construction de deux porte-avions, le premier français, le second franco-européen. Celui-ci naviguerait sous le pavillon national, celui-là naviguerait généralement sous le pavillon européen et arborerait le pavillon français, quand l'autre serait indisponible. Le premier serait financé uniquement par la France, le second le serait à parité par la France et l'Union européenne. Budgétairement, l'opération serait rentable : la France disposerait toujours d'un porte-avions opérationnel pour un coût probablement inférieur à celui d'un b'timent et demi, une série de deux s'avérant à l'unité moins couteuse que la construction d'un seul ; l'Union européenne acquérait, de même, un porte-avions pour un budget inférieur sans doute à la moitié du coût d'un navire isolé. Mettre en œuvre un groupe aérien de qualité Des questions sensibles seraient à résoudre, l'une des premières concernant le groupe aérien. En effet, la puissance d'un porte-avions réside dans sa capacité mettre en œuvre un groupe aérien de qualité. La France est le seul pays européen à utiliser, comme les Etats-Unis, des catapultes. La Grande-Bretagne, l'Espagne et l'Italie déploient des porte-aéronefs avec des avions à décollage court ou vertical, aux capacités moindres. Le groupe aérien, qui réunirait des appareils capables d'apponter sur les nouveaux porte-avions, serait logiquement composé du futur avion de combat européen, dont le projet a été lancé par la France et l'Allemagne, rejointes par l'Espagne. Des évolutions devraient intervenir chez nos amis, soit, comme en Allemagne, pour reconstituer une aviation embarquée, soit, comme en Italie, pour choisir un avion européen. Des décisions significatives seraient nécessaires, mais ces pays, voire d'autres, pourraient vouloir développer une composante aéronavale moderne, dès lors que le coût budgétaire, né de la coopération européenne, serait raisonnable. Rien, techniquement, n'interdirait de créer des flottilles européennes d'avions pouvant apponter sur ces porte-avions. Un autre sujet délicat est celui de l'équipage. Celui-ci rend opérationnel le porte-avions, qui accueille des flottilles d'avions et l'état-major du groupe aéronaval. Il doit être en phase avec son navire. Quand le b'timent franco-européen naviguerait sous pavillon français, son équipage devrait, au besoin, pouvoir être engagé au combat, y compris avec ses membres non français. Développer la participation, étendre le périmètre de discussion S'agissant du groupe aéronaval, d'ores et déjà l'habitude est prise que des navires européens intègrent celui du Charles-de-Gaulle, y compris dans des missions d'engagement armé. Ainsi, chaque fois que ce b'timent a été déployé pour frapper Daech, il a été accompagné par de tels navires (allemand, belge, britannique et italien). L'existence d'un porte-avions européen développerait la participation des marines européennes, en contribuant à leur excellence. L'accord devrait intervenir également sur le système de propulsion, nucléaire ou non, et sur le partage des t'ches entre les industries navales, la France étant la seule, à ce jour, à disposer des compétences pour construire des porte-avions dotés de catapultes. D'autres sujets seraient à traiter, comme le port d'attache, la formation et l'entrainement, la chaîne de commandement... La résolution de certaines questions serait indéniablement délicate, mais possible en présence d'une vraie volonté politique. Cette volonté témoignerait d'un pas nouveau et significatif de l'Europe pour sa défense et de son rayonnement dans le monde. https://www.latribune.fr/opinions/tribunes/pourquoi-pas-un-porte-avions-franco-europeen-831590.html
