Le Plessis Robinson – 5 March 2018 – The French Armed Forces Ministry has awarded the MILAD tender (mobile anti-UAV system) to the CS group following a competition.
The system, whose performance is confidential, is designed to enhance protection of sensitive sites and aims to rapidly equip the armed forces with mobile systems for the detection, identification, and neutralisation of UAV. These resources are designed to equip the army, navy and air force, both in France and in theatres of operations.
Within this framework, CS was selected on the basis of its economic performance, its experience, and the effectiveness of its solution.
“CS is honoured to have been selected for this major project. It rewards two years of continuous innovative work by the group in this field, with the industrialisation of our ant-UAV system, BOREADES, already operational for national events security. We aim to constantly adapt our system as the threat evolves, to deploy the system in France and internationally,” says Khaled Draz, CEO of CS Systèmes d'Information.

By: Aaron Mehta WASHINGTON ― Slovakia has decided to purchase 14 new Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters to replace its Russian made MiG-29 jets. The Slovakian Defence Ministry's announcement Wednesday means the F-16 has beat out the Saab Gripen. In a statement on the ministry's website, Defence Minister Peter Gajdoš said the U.S. jets were selected because they are “state-of-the-art modern machines,” and the ministry statement said the U.S. planes were cheaper according to an analysis done through 2040. However, the ministry did not put a final price tag on the F-16 purchase, but Reuters reported that the dollar figure could be €1.1 billion (U.S. $1.3 billion) for the 14 jets. “We are pleased Slovakia has selected the F-16 Block 70,” Lockheed spokesman John Losinger said. “This partnership will deliver new capabilities to the Slovak Armed Forces and strengthen Slovakia's strategic partnership with NATO and the U.S.” In April, the U.S. State Department OK'd the potential sale of 14 Block 70/72 F-16Vs for Slovakia, indicating the process for getting those planes on contract should be fairly smooth. Slovakia's choice of the U.S. jet over its Swedish counterpart is notable in a regional context, as two of its closest neighbors ― Hungary and the Czech Republic ― operate the Gripen. Poland, however, operates the F-16, as do a number of other NATO nations. Lockheed's sale of the F-16 to Slovakia is the second order since the company made the decision to move its production line from Fort Worth, Texas, to Greenville, South Carolina. The Slovakian sale, coupled with the Bahrain deal cemented last month, will help Lockheed keep production of the F-16 going while its biggest potential customer, India, figures out what it wants out of a future fighter. Lockheed has proposed moving the entire F-16 line to India in exchange for a large order, but India seems to be taking its time, having released a request for information to a handful of defense aviation companies in April. https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/riat/2018/07/11/slovakia-selects-f-16-over-gripen-for-new-fighter/
