  Guerre des drones : le dossier du Monde

  Dans les ajustements capacitaires de la programmation militaire, figure notamment la lutte anti-drones, identifié comme un « domaine opérationnel clé dans le récent conflit du Haut-Karabakh » par la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly. En effet, les conflits au Donbass, en Libye, et au Haut-Karabakh ont mis en lumière les vulnérabilités des forces françaises dans le domaine de la défense sol-air de courte et moyenne portées. Pour enrayer cette menace, l'armée de Terre a inauguré en janvier le Battle-Lab Terre sur la base de Satory, à Versailles. Des fusils capables de brouiller les fréquences des drones sont en cours de déploiement et un système de radar raccordé à une mitrailleuse, baptisé « Icare », pouvant détruire des drones à distance a été développé. Il doit équiper, d'ici à la fin de l'année, des véhicules de l'avant blindé. Les forces terrestres recevront également à partir de janvier 2022 le système de drone tactique Patroller (Safran Electronics & Defense). « Le conflit du Haut-Karabakh doit nous ouvrir les yeux sur un changement de paradigme », résume Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer, directeur de l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'Ecole militaire (Irsem).

  Webinar: The Future Of U.S. Foreign Military Sales

  This webinar took place January 15, 2021 and sponsored by Makino. In the final months of President Donald Trump's presidency, his administration notified Congress of billions in potential Foreign Military Sales – including the possibility of the UAE purchasing F-35s and MQ-9 Reapers, Taiwan to buy guided cruise missiles and reconnaissance pods for its F-16 fighters. In all, Congress was notified of sales worth up to $175 billion in 2020, though actual completed sales for the year totaled just $50.8 billion – a three-year low. Join us as we discuss: What the fate of these proposed transactions might be How a President Joe Biden administration may change course How the COVID-19 pandemic may influence sales How companies can navigate this changing environment Watch the full recording above.

  Organizers Cancel Paris Air Show 2021 On COVID-19 Uncertainty

  Helen Massy-Beresford December 07, 2020 PARIS—The organizers of the Paris Air Show, the world's largest, have canceled the 2021 edition because of continued uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The board of directors of the Paris Air Show and the board of directors of French aerospace industry association GIFAS made the decision unanimously, describing it as inevitable in a statement Dec. 7. “This reasonable decision was agreed upon unanimously by the Paris Air Show board members in the context of a crisis that has had an unprecedented impact on the aerospace industry,” they said in a joint statement. The coronavirus crisis has devasted demand for travel, with many airlines grounding the majority of their fleets and relying on government bailouts to survive. IATA does not expect traffic to return to 2019 levels before 2024. The Paris Air Show is usually held at Le Bourget Airport, just outside the French capital, and in 2019 attracted over 316,000 visitors, split between civil and defense industry professionals and the general public, making it the largest air show in the world. Orders worth $140 billion—across the civil and military sectors—were announced at the 2019 show. The first Paris Air Show was held in 1909 and the event has taken place every other year since—with interruptions for the two world wars. The 2021 edition was set to be the 54th. “We are obviously disappointed not to be able to hold the 2021 edition of the Paris Air Show. After many months of all trade show activities being suspended throughout the world, the entire international aerospace and defence community was very much looking forward to being able to meet,” the International Paris Air Show chairman and Daher Group chairman Patrick Daher said. “We have already started work to ensure that the 2023 edition celebrates the resurgence of the aerospace industry on an international scale,” he added. The event had been due to take place from June 21-27 next year and the organizers said they would shortly announce the exact dates of the next edition, which will be held in June 2023. https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/aircraft-propulsion/organizers-cancel-paris-air-show-2021-covid-19-uncertainty
