En quoi va consister l'arme laser à haute énergie nouvelle génération développée par Boeing et General Atomics HUBERT MARY ONERA , BOEING , DIGITAL/TECHNOS , L'USINE AÉRO , TECHNOS ET INNOVATIONS PUBLIÉ LE 26/10/2020 À 13H21 Les industriels américains Boeing et General Atomics ont noué un partenariat pour concevoir un système d'arme laser à haute énergie (HEL) pour les défenses aériennes et antimissiles. Portée quasi-illimitée, coût d'exploitation réduit, célérité (un laser se déplace à la vitesse de la lumière), nombre illimité de coups tant qu'il y a de la puissance disponible... Les systèmes utilisant l'énergie dirigée prennent de plus en plus de place dans la R&D des grandes https://www.usinenouvelle.com/editorial/en-quoi-va-consister-l-arme-laser-a-haute-energie-nouvelle-generation-developpee-par-boeing-et-general-atomics.N1020734

By Steve Trimble A crash-preventing upgrade for the Lockheed Martin F-35A is now being fielded after a nine-month test phase, program officials announced on July 24. The Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS) is being integrated on the U.S. Air Force variant first, but will also spread to the Navy and Marine Corps variants. Auto-GCAS, which is already fielded on the F-16, prevents crashes caused when a pilot partially or fully loses consciousness during aggressive flight maneuvers. The system can detect an imminent collision, take control and steer the aircraft to a safe heading. The Air Force credits Auto-GCAS for preventing eight F-16 crashes since 2014. “Auto-GCAS is a proven system that is long overdue,” said Lt. Gen. Eric Fick, F-35 program executive officer. https://aviationweek.com/defense/lockheed-martin-fields-safety-upgrade-f-35a-fleet?NL=AW-05&Issue=AW-05_20190725_AW-05_516&sfvc4enews=42&cl=article_2&utm_rid=CPEN1000015176279&utm_campaign=20501&utm_medium=email&elq2=71640d6c1c2a404d87e172f000eaa32d
