    Dassault Aviation a notifié à Thales la fourniture du radar de surveillance Searchmaster pour le programme AVSIMAR

    DÉFENSE Dassault Aviation a notifié à Thales la fourniture du radar de surveillance Searchmaster pour le programme AVSIMAR Thales annonce que Dassault Aviation lui a notifié la fourniture du radar de surveillance Searchmaster pour le programme AVSIMAR, ainsi que du système de navigation de mission. Le programme AVSIMAR, sous la maîtrise d'ouvrage de la Direction générale de l'armement et la maîtrise d'œuvre de Dassault Aviation, permettra de renouveler la flotte des avions de surveillance et d'intervention maritimes de la Marine nationale via l'acquisition de 12 Falcon 2000 Albatros de Dassault Aviation. Face à la densité croissante du trafic maritime, « les meilleures capacités de surveillance maritime en zones côtières et littorales sont primordiales pour repérer et suivre des cibles intelligentes et agiles, quels que soient les états de mer et les conditions de visibilité », explique Thales. Les Falcon 2000 Albatros bénéficieront, gr'ce à l'ensemble des équipements fournis, « d'un degré de précision et d'une sensibilité de détection qui pourront alerter par anticipation de la présence d'une menace à la surface de la mer, et garantir ainsi une capacité d'action adaptée », précise le groupe.

    US Army wants help with radios that integrate with augmented reality

    Andrew Eversden ASHINGTON — The U.S. Army wants to know if there are additional radio vendors that can compete on an integration effort involving the service's Integrated Visual Augmentation System, or IVAS. According to a request for information posted last week, the Army's Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical is seeking single-channel data radios that can “support and integrate” with IVAS. The IVAS program, led by the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team, provides soldiers with artificial intelligence-enhanced goggles that assist with navigation, targeting, and advanced night and thermal vision. The current vendors are Silvus and Domo Tactical Communications. The RFI states that the Army will need about 100,000 radios, with procurement starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and delivered to soldiers beginning in June 2022. Paul Mehney, communications director for PEO C3T, said there will be multiple awards. “We believe that the technology has matured in the commercial space and we believe that there's additional vendors that can compete. We've also, through the soldier touchpoints, learned about how these radios are going to be potentially used and in what configuration they'll be used,” Mehney told C4ISRNET. “Initially these radios were intended only to be at the squad level to form a squad network. Now we believe that we can bring that up to the platoon level because the waveforms and the radios themselves have matured in the commercial sector to allow us to bring more nodes into the network, and we may even take a look at bringing them up to the company level as well.” The single-channel data radios, working with IVAS, will provide a small form-factor solution to transport Tactical Assault Kit data between dismounted soldiers to increase situational awareness. Responses are due Oct. 7. https://www.c4isrnet.com/battlefield-tech/it-networks/2020/10/01/us-army-seeks-market-research-for-radios-to-integrate-with-augmented-reality/

    EUAM Ukraine: mission extended, budget approved

    On 20 November, the Council extended the mandate of the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) in Ukraine until 31 May 2019 and approved a budget of € 32 million for the next 18 months. The European Union Advisory Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform Ukraine, EUAM Ukraine, has been deployed since December 2014, with a mandate to support Ukrainian state agencies in the reform of the civilian security sector. The mission is one of the central elements of the EU's enhanced support to the Ukrainian authorities in recent years. EUAM aims to strengthen and support reform in state agencies such as the police, other law enforcement agencies and the judicial sector, particularly the prosecutor's office. The mission provides strategic advice to the Ukrainian authorities, supported by operational activity, including training, to develop sustainable, accountable and efficient security services that strengthen the rule of law. This process is ultimately designed to restore the trust of the Ukrainian people in their civilian security services, which have been beset by allegations of corruption and malpractice. EUAM is an unarmed, non-executive civilian mission with its headquarters in Kyiv and regional presences in Lviv and Kharkiv, as well as soon in Odessa. http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2017/11/20/euam-ukraine-mission-extended-budget-approved/
