La ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, a déclaré, mardi 12 janvier, lors de son audition à l'Assemblée nationale, que son ministère a consommé les 37,5 milliards d'euros qui étaient prévus en loi de finances initiale pour 2020, malgré les perturbations induites par la crise sanitaire. Elle a également indiqué que le ministère des Armées a bénéficié de 800 millions d'euros de crédits dégelés en novembre, une « date qui n'avait jamais été aussi anticipée par rapport à la fin de l'année ». En 2021, le ministère doit présenter une actualisation de la loi de programmation militaire (LPM), dont la mise en œuvre devra intervenir avant la fin de l'année 2021. Cette actualisation doit notamment permettre de préciser l'évolution des effectifs pour les années 2024 et 2025 et de vérifier la bonne adéquation entre les objectifs fixés dans la LPM, les réalisations et les moyens consacrés. Florence Parly a précisé que ce processus doit aussi déterminer les menaces auxquelles la France risque d'être confrontée dans les années à venir.

BETHESDA, Md., March 26, 2019 – Four Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) teams advance as finalists in the 22nd Applied Ergonomics Conference Ergo Cup® Competition, which showcases innovation aimed at reducing risk of injury in the workplace. Lockheed Martin will be one of over 20 companies discussing their ergonomic innovations in the Ergo Cup Competition. “With more than 100,000 employees developing a broad portfolio of products and solutions for national defense, cyber security, logistics and energy we must modernize our approach to ergonomics, safety and health,” says Lockheed Martin Fellow and Corporate Ergonomist Anthony Banks. “This requires new techniques and tooling. Some examples of this include 3D printed tools for helicopter assembly, performing ergonomic evaluations in a virtual environment, and drastically improving manufacturing applications. By focusing on safety, wellbeing and improved business practices, Lockheed Martin is committed to prioritizing sustainability to innovate for the future.” The Lockheed Martin teams competing include: Virtual Reality to Enhance Ergonomics Integration, THAAD Missile Canister Shock Isolator Compression Tool, Weightless High Torque Motor Application for F-35 Vertical Tails Installation and the CH-53K helicopter harness installation from Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company. Since their implementation in the workplace, each of the team's ergonomic innovations have yielded outstanding sustainability results and are projected to deliver continued cost savings. The 22nd Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) convenes in New Orleans March 25-28 for the annual meetup and exchange of ideas and best practices in ergonomics, healthcare, safety, human resources and risk management.
