Safran Electronics & Defense équipera les Falcon Triton et Albatros de la Marine nationale avec sa boule optronique Euroflir 410

Safran Electronics & Defense annonce avoir signé avec Dassault Aviation un contrat portant sur la fourniture d'Euroflir 410 de nouvelle génération pour équiper les douze Albatros, dérivés du Falcon 2000LXS, et les huit Falcon 50M rénovés Triton dans le cadre de la modernisation des avions de surveillance et d'intervention maritime de la Marine nationale. « L'Euroflir 410 de nouvelle génération, élément clé de la fonction SAR (Search & Rescue), apportera des performances d'observation inégalées, y compris lors de conditions de visibilité dégradées, gr'ce notamment à l'intégration d'un télescope très longue distance et à une stabilisation très performante de la ligne de visée », précise Safran Electronics & Defense. Associé à un radar maritime et à un AIS (Automatic Identification System), l'Euroflir 410 permettra à l'équipage de s'assurer de l'identification des navires en fournissant également une géolocalisation précise du b'timent observé. Les Falcon 50M modifiés Triton et les Falcon 2000 Albatros seront déployés respectivement à partir de 2023 et 2025, conformément à la dernière Loi de Programmation Militaire de l'administration française.

    Bath Iron Works receives $26 million Navy contract for ship modernization

    By J. CRAIG ANDERSON | The Portland Herald Press PORTLAND, Maine (Tribune News Service) — The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics subsidiary Bath Iron Works a $26.4 million contract to provide upgrade and maintenance services for DDG-1000 “Zumwalt-class” guided missile destroyers, the company said Thursday. The contract includes options which, if exercised and fully funded by the Navy, would bring the total value of the contract to $86.7 million and extend the contract through 2023. The contract is for what are known as “planning yard services,” which include design, material kitting, logistics, planning and execution of ship maintenance and modernization. Most of the planning yard services work will be performed in Maine, BIW said in a written statement. BIW already manages maintenance and modernization for DDG-51 destroyers and littoral combat ships. “We are committed to supporting the Navy with high-quality, affordable post-delivery and modernization services that contribute to the readiness and capability of the fleet around the world,” BIW President Dirk Lesko said in the statement. “This award indicates confidence on the part of the Navy in our ability to maintain DDG-1000 class ships well into the future.” ——— ©2018 the Portland Press Herald (Portland, Maine) Visit the Portland Press Herald (Portland, Maine) at www.pressherald.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/bath-iron-works-receives-26-million-navy-contract-for-ship-modernization-1.562348
