    BAE nabs $104.7M for support on Navy, Coast Guard vessels

    By Christen McCurdy Nov. 19 (UPI) -- BAE Systems Technology has landed a $104.7 million contract with the U.S. Navy to provide engineering and technical services aboard Navy and Coast Guard vessels, the Pentagon announced Monday. Under the contract, BAE will provide engineering and technical services to support production, lifetime support engineering and in-service engineering for the radio communication system/command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems aboard Navy surface combatants and at associated shore sites, as well as on several Coast Guard vessels. According to the Department of Defense, the contract will be applied to all Navy ships but will be focused primarily on Coast Guard 47 Class and Destroyer vessels and Guided Missile 51 Class AEGIS ships. Other ships covered under the contract include Coast Guard ships, subsurface vessels and non-combatants in support of the Ship and Air Integration Warfare Division, Naval Air Warfare Center Webster Outlying Field. Work on the ships is expected to be completed by 2025 and will be performed at several sites, including San Diego, Calif., Patuxent River, Md., Norfolk, Va., Mayport, Fla., and St. Inigoes, Md., among others. Funds will not be obligated at the time of the award, but instead on individual orders as they are issued. According to the Pentagon, BAE was the sole applicant for the contract under a competitive process. https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2019/11/19/BAE-nabs-1047M-for-support-on-Navy-Coast-Guard-vessels

    Menaces sur le futur avion de combat qui doit remplacer le Rafale

    Par Vincent Lamigeon Le SCAF, projet d'avion de combat franco-allemand qui succédera au Rafale et à l'Eurofighter en 2040, est au point mort. En cause, des différends politiques entre Paris et Berlin, et une guerre souterraine entre Airbus et Thales. Le futur avion de combat franco-allemand va-t-il exploser avant même d'avoir décollé? Lancé en juillet 2017 par Emmanuel Macron et Angela Merkel, le projet SCAF (système de combat aérien du futur) se retrouve confronté à ses premières difficultés sérieuses. Destiné à remplacer le Rafale français et l'Eurofighter européen à l'horizon 2040, ce programme avait fait l'objet de la signature d'une lettre d'intention par Florence Parly et de son homologue allemande Ursula Van der Leyen le 26 avril dernier au salon aéronautique ILA de Berlin. Depuis, le projet a toutes les peines du monde à dépasser le stade des déclarations politiques. "Aujourd'hui apparaissent d'inquiétants signes de calage pour le SCAF", a ainsi prévenu le député Jean-Charles Larsonneur, rapporteur du budget équipements et dissuasion, vendredi 2 novembre à l'Assemblée nationale.
