  La DGA commande un prototype de laser anti-drones à Cilas

  La Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) a annoncé, mercredi 15 juin, avoir passé commande auprès de la PME Cilas, basée à Orléans (Loiret). La DGA indique avoir attribué à Cilas le marché L2AD, qui prévoit notamment l'achat d'un prototype opérationnel de système laser capable d'identifier, poursuivre et neutraliser des micro-drones (de 100g à 25kg). Le système Helma-P, développé par Cilas, dispose d'une puissance de deux kilowatts, peut détecter un appareil à trois kilomètres de distance et le neutraliser à moins d'un kilomètre, même lorsque sa vitesse dépasse les 50 km/h. Le laser peut également éblouir le drone, en saturant ses capteurs optiques. Une technologie que compte utiliser le ministère des Armées « afin notamment de renforcer la protection des sites militaires sensibles et des opérateurs d'importance vitale », précise le communiqué. D'un montant maximal de 10 M€, ce contrat s'inscrit dans un programme plus vaste de lutte anti-drones, pour lequel les armées prévoient d'investir 300 M€ sur 10 ans. L'Usine Nouvelle du 16 juin

  US Army awards Raytheon $191 million contract for multi-mission radar

  TEWKSBURY, Mass., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Army awarded Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) a $191 million contract for Ku-band radio frequency radars. KuRFS, an advanced electronically scanned array system, fills an immediate U.S. Army operational need for a counter-unmanned aerial vehicle radar. Already deployed, KuRFS delivers precision fire control as well as "sense and warn" capability for multiple missions including detection of rocket, artillery, mortar and swarming UAS threats. "Seeing threats – like swarming drones – as soon as possible on the battlefield is essential to protecting critical assets and saving soldiers' lives," said Andrew Hajek, senior director of tactical radars at Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "KuRFS makes this possible by delivering a unique combination 360-degree situational awareness, precision and mobility." KuRFS enables defense against multiple threat types through integration with the Land-Based Phalanx Weapon System, 50-caliber guns and 30 mm cannons. The radar also supports high-energy laser and the Coyote weapon system in both a ground mounted or vehicle mounted configuration. Raytheon' KuRFS is able to quickly address the urgent needs of the Army through a model of rapid-turn development and deployment. This reduces time to fielding, while providing enhanced flexibility to adapt to a quickly-changing threat environment in the drone space.
