    Les essais en vol de la nouvelle suite avionique FlytX de Thales ont débuté

    DÉFENSE Les essais en vol de la nouvelle suite avionique FlytX de Thales ont débuté Thales annonce le début des essais en vol de la suite avionique FlytX. Réalisée à bord d'un hélicoptère Cabri, cette campagne d'essais se poursuivra jusqu'en 2022. FlytX, fruit de « plus de dix ans de recherches », a été conçue pour « améliorer l'efficacité opérationnelle de l'équipage en réduisant sa charge de travail et en facilitant la compréhension de l'environnement et de la situation », indique le groupe. Elle se caractérise par une conception centrée sur l'équipage, nativement connectée et cybersécurisée, et favorise la coopération avec les autres acteurs de l'écosystème aérien, précise Thales. Compacte, elle offre de plus une réduction du poids, de l'encombrement et de la consommation d'énergie de 40% par rapport aux suites avioniques actuelles. FlytX a déjà été sélectionnée par Airbus Helicopters et la Direction Générale de l'Armement (DGA) pour équiper le Guépard, futur hélicoptère interarmées léger, mais aussi par VR-Technologies pour le futur hélicoptère léger mono turbine, VRT500.
