  Loi de programmation militaire : bilan et mise en garde de la Cour des comptes

  Dans un rapport présenté mercredi 11 mai, la Cour des comptes dresse un bilan de la loi de programmation militaire (LPM) adoptée en 2018. Les crédits alloués aux armées ont bien progressé de 35,9 Md€ en 2019 à 40,9 Md€ en 2022, comme prévu. La Cour alerte toutefois sur le «  risque d'éviction sur les investissements programmés par la LPM qui restent à réaliser  », pour les années à venir. « La réalisation de “l'ambition 2030” annoncée par la LPM est confrontée au double défi de la dégradation des finances publiques à l'issue de la crise sanitaire et de l'accélération de la montée des menaces décrite dans l'actualisation stratégique de 2021 », prévient la Cour. « Le ministère des Armées doit mieux identifier et exploiter les marges de manœuvre qui peuvent se présenter à lui, notamment dans le domaine de la coopération européenne et s'agissant de la définition du périmètre des missions des armées ».

  Bell Boeing awarded $144 million for V-22 support

  Contract adds support for U.S. Navy CMV-22B variant to existing U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps customers Contract expands and advances work that Bell Boeing has performed since 2008 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18, 2019 – The Bell Boeing Joint Program Office has been awarded an estimated $143,863,184 firm-fixed-price requirements contract for performance-based logistics and engineering support for the V-22 platform. This is an 11-month base contract with four one-year option periods. Locations of performance are Texas and Pennsylvania for V-22 aircraft belonging to the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps. The contracting activity is the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “As one of the most in-demand assets for the U.S. military, the V-22 needs a support team that understands the technical aspects of the aircraft as well as customers' operational needs,” said Pat Walsh, retired Admiral and Boeing vice president for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Services. “Bell Boeing is excited to bring our OEM expertise to the V-22 fleet and deliver solutions that help ensure the aircraft are ready for any mission.” In July, Bell Boeing received a $4 billion contract that included the manufacture and delivery of 39 CMV-22B aircraft for the Navy; 14 MV-22B aircraft for the Marine Corps; and one CV-22B for the Air Force. Under this performance-based logistics (PBL) contract, which expands on work done since 2008 and now adds support for the Navy's CMV-22B variant, Bell Boeing will focus on improving aircraft maintainability and mission readiness for the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps V-22 fleets. The team's responsibilities include site activation, maintenance planning, training and trainer support, support equipment, and dedicated field personnel for all V-22 squadrons around the globe. Bell Boeing incorporates data analytics into maintenance efforts, yielding innovative approaches such as predictive and condition-based maintenance to improve aircraft availability and readiness. ”The Bell Boeing team is dedicated to providing the safest and most reliable aircraft to the warfighter,” said Chris Gehler, Bell Vice President for the V-22 Program. “We will continue to produce innovative solutions and deliver technical expertise, training, and maintenance to enhance readiness.” Operating as one of Boeing's three business units, Global Services is headquartered in the Dallas area.
