Airbus a signé avec l'armée américaine un contrat de soutien logistique continu (CLS) portant sur la fourniture de pièces de rechange, de matériel et de services d'ingénierie pour l'ensemble de la flotte d'hélicoptères utilitaires et d'entraînement UH-72A et UH-72 B Lakota de l'armée, soit 482 appareils. Le contrat comprend une base de six mois et 4,5 années d'option, avec une valeur totale potentielle de plus de 1,5 Md$. Airbus assurera le soutien de 67 sites Lakota aux États-Unis et à l'étranger. Il s'agit notamment de bases de la Garde nationale dans 43 États et de Fort Rucker en Alabama, où l'UH-72A effectue la mission IERW (Initial Entry Rotary Wing) de l'armée. Les Lakota, des hélicoptères légers, sont destinés à la formation des pilotes mais aussi à des missions de sécurité intérieure, et sont produits à Columbus (Mississippi, Sud) dans une usine créée par Airbus en 2003. « Airbus a fourni un produit et des services de support exceptionnels pour l'UH-72A pendant près de deux décennies », a déclaré le Colonel Calvin Lane, U.S. Army Utility Project Manager. « Ce contrat souligne la confiance de l'armée dans les capacités de l'avion, et nous nous réjouissons du soutien continu que ce contrat apporte à la flotte d'UH-72 ».

    Cyber Command wants to partner with private sector to stop hacks

    By: Justin Lynch The head of the National Security Agency and Cyber Command is advocating for a more expansive partnership between the government and the private sector amid an array of cyberthreats. Gen. Paul Nakasone, speaking July 31 during the Department of Homeland Security National Cybersecurity Summit in New York City, said that partnerships are America's “advantage in cyberspace,” "We have tremendous, exquisite, foreign intelligence reporting,” Nakasone said, but added he wanted to understand what the private sector and firms who make up America's digital infrastructure were looking for “so we can really tailor the information.” Information from Cyber Command and the NSA will be used in a new National Risk Management Center that hopes to share cyberthreats between the government and the private sector, according to a department spokeswoman. ”Resiliency begins with a dialogue,” Nakasone said. The new center's announcement comes after DHS said that Russia was continuing to attackAmerica's electric grid. Last week, Sen. Claire McCaskill D-Mo., said that Russian hackers tried unsuccessfully to infiltrate her office. On the same day that Nakasone spoke, Facebook said that it removed 32 accounts in an apparent influence campaign. Ninety percent of America's critical infrastructure is in private hands, Nakasone said. Therefore, the Department of Defense is kicking off the new risk center with a “90 day sprint” to identify companies that are most essential to the U.S. way of life in an effort to protect them from foreign cyberattacks. “Not all risks are created equal,” Nakasone said of the initial effort. https://www.fifthdomain.com/dod/cybercom/2018/07/31/cyber-command-wants-to-partner-with-private-sector-to-stop-hacks/
