Le futur avion de combat européen va décoller industriellement en janvier 2019
Par Michel Cabirol La France et l'Allemagne sont tombées d'accord pour lancer l'avion de combat de sixième génération. Airbus et Dassault Aviation vont signer un contrat sur des études d'architecture et de conception du futur système de systèmes. En outre, Paris et Berlin signeront en juin au Bourget deux contrats de démonstrateurs (avion et moteur) sous leadership français (Dassault et Safran). Décollage imminent du futur avion de combat européen. La France et l'Allemagne se sont mises d'accord pour entamer les études d'architecture et de conception du futur programme SCAF (Système de combat aérien du futur), le futur avion de combat de sixième génération sous le leadership de la France. Une première pierre importante car jusqu'ici aucune étude commune n'avait été lancée par les deux pays. La France avait quant à elle lancé des premières études portant sur l'architecture générale du SCAF. Berlin et Paris vont également lancer le développement de deux démonstrateurs en juin 2019 (avion et moteur). Ce qui est une véritable bénédiction pour Dassault Aviation. Car l'avionneur a un besoin urgent de donner de la charge de travail à ses bureaux d'études. La Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) sera l'agence contractante pour les trois contrats. "Nous sommes en train de proposer l'architecture la plus adéquate pour répondre aux menaces", a expliqué mi-octobre à l'Assemblée nationale le chef d'état-major de l'armée de l'air, le général Philippe Lavigne. Un contrat sous leadership conjoint Dassault et Airbus Cet accord a été validé lundi à Bruxelles par les deux ministres - Florence Parly et Ursula von der Leyen - à l'issue d'une réunion qui a mis sur les rails de façon effective et d'une manière ferme le programme SCAF, a précisé le cabinet de la ministre. Paris et Berlin ont réussi à définir le contenu technique du programme, le calendrier ainsi que l'organisation industrielle. Cette étude servira à déterminer ce que sera précisément le système de systèmes, notamment l'avion et son escorte de drones qui serviront à leurrer les défenses adverses et à donner de l'allonge aux missions, la connectivité des plateformes. Le délégué général pour l'armement Joël Barre a d'ailleurs souligné dans une audition à l'Assemblée nationale que ce système constituait la partie du programme la plus difficile à définir, car elle n'a guère de précédent. Play Video Dans ce cadre, les deux pays vont lancer en janvier - ce qui est d'ailleurs extrêmement ambitieux - un contrat d'études d'architecture et de conception de SCAF d'une durée de deux ans sous un leadership conjoint Dassault Aviation et Airbus. Thales sera également sur la photo... Dassault Aviation et Airbus devront faire de la place à l'électronicien français, qui est considéré comme le champion européen de la connectivité et du système de systèmes. Par ailleurs, la France et l'Allemagne ont également convenu de signer au salon du Bourget (17-23 juin) deux contrats portant sur le développement de deux démonstrateurs : l'un sur l'avion, sous leadership de Dassault Aviation avec comme sous-traitant Airbus, l'autre sur le moteur sous leadership Safran avec comme sous-traitant le motoriste allemand MTU. Le démonstrateur permettra de valider les choix technologiques en vue d'avoir un appareil de sixième génération qui volera en 2035. Ces trois contrats ne vont pas épuiser toutes les problématiques technologiques du SCAF. Ainsi, Paris et Berlin devront par ailleurs lancer des études sur les senseurs, les radars et la guerre électronique... L'Espagne va rejoindre le programme L'Espagne, qui a demandé à être observateur, va rejoindre le programme SCAF, une fois que celui-ci sera stabilisé. D'ici à la fin de l'année, les espagnols vont rejoindre l'accord de haut niveau (HL Coord), qui avait été signé entre la France et l'Allemagne en avril à Berlin. Enfin, Madrid devrait signer au premier trimestre une lettre d'intention pour participer au programme SCAF. https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/le-futur-avion-de-combat-europeen-va-decoller-industriellement-en-janvier-2019-798120.html

Huntington Ingalls Industries Awarded More Than $930 Million to Build Two More National Security Cutters for U.S. Coast Guard
PASCAGOULA, Miss., Dec. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries' (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division has received two fixed-price incentive contracts from the U.S. Coast Guard to build two additional National Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard. The contract values for the a 10th and 11th ships in the program are $468.75 million for NSC 10 and $462.13 million for NSC 11. “This additional funding for two NSCs is a great accomplishment on which to end the year,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias. “The outstanding work being done by skilled men and women of Ingalls, as well as the recognition by Congress and the U.S. Coast Guard as to the important contributions these ships make to our nation's defense, are the reason for this success. These ships provide capable assets that our Coast Guard customer uses to perform essential homeland security missions, and we look forward to delivering two more quality NSCs to help with this important work.” Ingalls has delivered seven NSCs, the flagships of the Coast Guard's cutter fleet, designed to replace the 12 Hamilton-class high-endurance cutters that entered service in the 1960s. The seventh ship, Kimball (WMSL 756), will be commissioned in Hawaii on Jan. 19. Both the eighth ship, Midgett (WMSL 757), and the ninth, Stone (WMSL 758), are currently under construction at Ingalls. Midgett is scheduled for its first set of sea trials in the first quarter of 2019. Stone is scheduled to launch in 2019. NSCs are 418 feet long with a 54-foot beam and displace 4,500 tons with a full load. They have a top speed of 28 knots, a range of 12,000 miles, an endurance of 60 days and a crew of 120. The Legend-class NSC is capable of meeting all maritime security mission needs required of the high-endurance cutter. The cutter includes an aft launch and recovery area for two rigid hull inflatable boats and a flight deck to accommodate a range of manned and unmanned rotary wing aircraft. It is the largest and most technologically advanced class of cutter in the U.S. Coast Guard, with robust capabilities for maritime homeland security, law enforcement, marine safety, environmental protection and national defense missions. This class of cutters plays an important role in enhancing the Coast Guard's operational readiness, capacity and effectiveness at a time when the demand for their services has never been greater.

For more than a century, HII's Newport News and Ingalls shipbuilding divisions in Virginia and Mississippi have built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder.
