  SCAF : la connectivité des systèmes sera assurée par Airbus et Thales

  Airbus et Thales ont signé un accord afin de mener conjointement le développement de l'Air Combat Cloud du SCAF. Qui dit système de systèmes, dit connectivité. En effet, le SCAF rime avec combat collaboratif et échange de données entre les différentes plateformes intégrées. Airbus et Thales ont donc signé un accord le 20 février, officialisant leur collaboration sur le volet Air Combat Cloud du SCAF. Une première phase de démonstrations sera conduite au cours des 18 prochains mois, dans le cadre du contrat Phase 1A du SCAF. Les travaux qui seront réalisés lors de cette première étape serviront de base aux développements futurs. Données. Un travail important attend donc désormais les deux industriels, au regard de l'avancée technologique qui caractérise les vecteurs du SCAF. Que ce soit le NGF (nex generation fighter), les remote carriers (drones d'accompagnement) mais également toutes les plateformes d'ores et déjà existantes, ces aéronefs collectent une quantité de plus en plus importante de données. Celles-ci doivent être triées, traitées et analysées, afin de fournir une information enrichie aux opérationnels et les aider dans leur prise de décision. « Au sein du SCAF, l'Air Combat Cloud va, en temps réel, connecter et synchroniser toutes les plateformes et permettre de traiter et distribuer l'information afin d'améliorer la connaissance situationnelle et permettre la conduite d'opérations en collaboration », détaille Thales. https://www.air-cosmos.com/article/scaf-la-connectivit-des-systmes-sera-assure-par-airbus-et-thales-22622

  Le Royaume-Uni signe des accords de défense mutuelle avec la Suède et la Finlande

  Alors que la Suède et la Finlande devraient officialiser leur demande d'adhésion à l'OTAN dans les prochains jours, le premier ministre britannique, Boris Johnson, s'est déplacé à Harpsund (résidence de loisir officielle de la première ministre suédoise), près de Stockholm, et à Helsinki, mercredi 11 mai, pour y signer un accord de défense et de protection mutuelle avec les deux pays. « Si l'un ou l'autre des pays est frappé par une catastrophe ou victime d'une attaque, nous serons là et nous nous aiderons, y compris avec une assistance militaire », a-t-il déclaré à Helsinki. Un peu plus tôt, en Suède, il avait précisé que l'accord allait permettre de « partager des renseignements, mener encore plus d'exercices militaires conjoints et approfondir nos développements communs de technologie ». Le premier ministre britannique n'a pas exclu l'envoi de troupes britanniques, ni l'assistance de la dissuasion nucléaire. « Nous avons pour habitude de ne pas commenter ce sujet [de la dissuasion nucléaire], mais c'est à chacun des deux partenaires de formuler sa demande [d'aide] et nous prenons [cet engagement d'aide] très au sérieux », a-t-il souligné lors de la conférence de presse avec la première ministre suédoise, Magdalena Andersson. Le Royaume-Uni a également proposé de déployer du personnel de la Royal Air Force, de la Royal Navy et de l'armée de Terre britannique au Nord de l'Europe. Le Monde du 12 mai

  CAE and Rockwell Collins join forces to develop integrated Live, Virtual, Constructive training solutions

  Companies to demonstrate integrated LVC-enabled capabilities at I/ITSEC 2017 Orlando, Florida, USA, November 27, 2017 - Today at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), CAE and Rockwell Collins announced a collaborative agreement to develop integrated Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) training solutions. During I/ITSEC, CAE (Booth #1734) and Rockwell Collins (Booth #2201) will conduct several demonstrations of an integrated mission training exercise using fully connected, LVC training elements. A live-flying LVC-enabled L-29 aircraft, operated by the University of Iowa's Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL), will be networked with a variety of virtual simulators and constructive forces to demonstrate an integrated, joint, multi-dimensional mission training environment. The live, real-time LVC training exercises will take place at I/ITSEC at the following times: Tues., Nov. 28 - 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. and 2 to 2:45 p.m. Wed., Nov. 29 - 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. and 2 to 2:45 p.m. Virtual participants in the demonstration will include blue force F/A-18 aircraft simulators as well an E-2 aerial surveillance platform operated in the Rockwell Collins booth, networked to Naval Combat System Simulators (NCSS) and remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) desktop trainers running in the CAE booth. A variety of constructive elements representing enemy and friendly forces will be injected into the live and virtual training systems for the demonstration of immersive LVC training capabilities. Both CAE and Rockwell Collins will jointly conduct distributed command and control tasks during the exercise. "Integrated live, virtual, constructive training is becoming more critical as defense forces look to cost-effectively maintain readiness and prepare for operational missions," said Gene Colabatistto, group president, Defense & Security for CAE. "As a training systems integrator, we are focused on supporting our customers' training and readiness requirements and recognize that cooperation and collaboration will be necessary to deliver integrated LVC training capabilities." "As a recognized leader in aerospace solutions providing avionics for live assets and integrated virtual training systems and products, we'll be able to provide solutions to make LVC-enabled training more routine without boundaries, ultimately resulting in our military customers achieving optimal mission readiness," said Nick Gibbs, vice president and general manager of Simulation & Training Solutions at Rockwell Collins. The demonstration at I/ITSEC will showcase how synthetic environments built on different database standards can be correlated and interoperate as part of an integrated LVC training exercise. This includes the use of synthetic data onto the Rockwell Collins L-29 pilots' integrated Helmet Mounted Display (HMD). CAE and Rockwell Collins will also utilize the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and High-Level Architecture (HLA) industry standard networking protocols to link LVC assets.
