  Photonis réalise un chiffre d’affaires de 150 millions d’euros en 2020 et rachète Device-ALab

  Spécialiste de la vision nocturne pour les forces armées, la PME française Photonis a conclu en 2020 un chiffre d'affaires de 150 millions d'euros, dix fois supérieur à celui de l'année précédente. Photonis a été sélectionné comme fournisseur exclusif de tubes intensificateurs de lumière pour le nouveau programme d'acquisition d'armes de précision de l'Armée Française, et il a obtenu le contrat des nouvelles jumelles de vision nocturne O-NYX. La société a par ailleurs annoncé le rachat de Device-ALab, l'un de ses partenaires dans le marché des caméras infrarouge. « Cela fait quatre ans que nous sommes partenaires et depuis plusieurs mois, nous envisagions de fusionner nos technologies. L'infrarouge est en pleine croissance et extrêmement complémentaire de nos technologies actuelles », explique Geoffroy Deltel, le directeur technique de Photonis. Les deux partenaires ont gagné il y a deux ans un contrat de la DGA pour les tireurs d'élite, et Photonis l'a accompagné en Australie pour équiper des véhicules militaires. Les Echos du 22 mars 2021

  A new leader for naval intelligence

  Mark Pomerleau The Navy announced new leaders for its various information warfare entities June 6, including a new officer to lead the service's information warfare efforts. Rear Adm. Jeffrey Trussler has been selected as the Navy's next deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, N2/N6 and director of naval intelligence, according to a Department of Defense release. Trussler, who will also get his third star, replaces Vice Adm. Matthew Kohler, who retired June 5 Under a new reorganization within the Department of the Navy, this position also serves as the co-deputy chief information officer in conjunction with the Marine Corps deputy commandant for information. Trussler recently served as the director of future plans, N55, in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. During his tenure, Kohler helped develop new concepts to modernize the Navy for the information environment, including overseeing the creation of the Naval Information Warfighting Development Center. That center trains warfare tactics instructors (WTIs), which is what the Navy describes as its information warfare “top guns.” Rear Adm. (lower half) Michael Vernazza, who is currently serving as the deputy commander of 10th Fleet/Fleet Cyber Command, has been selected to leader the IWDC, according to a second June 6 announcement. https://www.c4isrnet.com/information-warfare/2020/06/16/a-new-leader-for-naval-intelligence/
