Deux premiers Dassault ATL2 pour la Marine
La ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, a salué la livraison des deux premiers avions de surveillance Dassault Aviation ATL2 mis au standard 6 et arrivés sur la base de Lann-Bihoué en juillet et août derniers. Florence Parly, ministre des Armées, s'est vue présenter les nouvelles capacités des avions de surveillance maritime Dassault Aviation ATL2 mis au standard 6 lors d'un vol de deux heures. Les deux premiers ATL2, le prototype et le premier de série, respectivement arrivés à Lann-Bihoué les 18 juillet et 27 août dans leur version logicielle finale, "ont été minutieusement testés par une équipe intégrée associant le centre d'expertise et d'essais DGA Essais en vol, le centre d'expérimentations pratiques et de réception de l'aéronautique navale (CEPA/10S) de la Marine nationale et Dassault Aviation". "L'expérimentation opérationnelle de la Marine, débutée à Istres en parallèle des dernières phases d'essais, se poursuit à Lorient pendant les dernières vérifications contractuelles effectuées par la DGA en vue de la qualification. Elle a pour but d'élaborer les tactiques d'emploi permettant d'utiliser au mieux les nouvelles capacités de l'aéronef", indique le ministère des Armées qui poursuit :" La mise en service opérationnel du standard 6 est prévue fin 2021, après la formation des équipages, la transformation d'un premier lot d'aéronefs, et la livraison du simulateur à terre pour l'entraînement tactique de nouvelle génération (SIMTAC NG), en cours de réalisation sous la conduite de la DGA". Les chantiers de mise à hauteur au standard 6 s'effectuent en parallèle par Dassault Aviation (6 chantiers en plus de l'avion prototype) et le Service industriel de l'aéronautique (SIAé) du ministère des Armées (11 chantiers). "Au-delà du traitement des obsolescences d'un avion conçu dans les années 1980, la rénovation porte principalement sur le remplacement de certains matériels par des équipements numériques issus des meilleures technologies actuellement disponibles : calculateur tactique, systèmes de renseignement optronique et acoustique, consoles des opérateurs, radar. En particulier, le nouveau radar Searchmaster bénéficie de la technologie d'antenne active développée par Thales pour le Rafale. Naval Group est également impliqué avec le logiciel de traitement de l'information, ainsi que le SIAé pour la rénovation des consoles de visualisation", souligne le ministère des Armées qui rappelle que si les ATL2 sont "prioritairement destinés à la maîtrise du milieu aéromaritime via la lutte contre les sous-marins et les navires de surface, de la zone littorale jusqu'au grand large", ils peuvent aussi "constituer un appui aux opérations aéroterrestres gr'ce à leur capacité à mener des actions de renseignement et de frappes au sol". https://www.air-cosmos.com/article/deux-premiers-dassault-atl2-pour-la-marine-21912

US Army solicits bids for new cryptographic technologies
by Carlo Munoz The US Army is soliciting industry proposals to develop new cryptographic technologies, designed to ensure secure and compartmentalised communication capabilities in the wake of rapidly advancing cyber warfare and electronic warfare threats to those operations. The proposals being sought by the service's Program Manager Tactical Radios (PM TR), under Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communicate – Tactical (PEO C3T), will assist in the development of the advanced variant of the Next Generation Load Device-Medium (NGLD-M). Army officials anticipate developing and fielding a maximum of 265,000 NGLD-M units, at an estimated cost of USD850 million, according to the service's 18 November request for proposals (RFP). The new NGLD-M systems will replace the army's more than decade-old fleet of Simple Key Loaders (SKLs), which are designed to transfer, issue, fill, and manage electronic cryptographic keys to highly sensitive End-Cryptographic Units (ECUs), used by combat units to transmit and receive secure communications transmissions. Designed to meet the Type 1 cryptologic standards for secured data transmissions established by the National Security Agency (NSA), the NGLD-M will provide “the functionality of legacy fill devices while providing network connectivity to support Over the Network Key (OTNK) distribution”, the RFP stated. The new NGLD-M will also provide end users with a “reprogrammable crypto subcomponent to meet future modernisation requirements”, it added. “The NGLD-M will enable delivery of the strongest NSA-generated cryptographic keys to tactical, strategic, and enterprise network systems operating from secret to the highest levels of security classification,” according to a PEO C3T statement, issued shortly after the RFP's release. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/us-army-solicits-bids-for-new-cryptographic-technologies
