  MBDA : le missile SPEAR passe en production

  Le Royaume-Uni notifie le missilier MBDA d'un contrat de 550 M£ pour lancer la production du mini-missile de croisière Spear 3 qui a déjà bénéficié de 561 M£ en contrats d'évaluation et de développement. 550 M£ de plus pour MBDA Le ministère britannique de la Défense a notifié le missilier MBDA un contrat d'un montant de 550 M£ pour la mise en production du mini-missile de croisière SPEAR en développement depuis 2010. Destiné à équiper les Airbus Typhoon et les Lockheed Martin F-35B de la Royal Air Force et de la Fleet Air Arm, ce missile, qui est désigné "SPEAR 3", est le premier de sa catégorie à être équipé de moyens de connectivité pour une utilisation en réseau, préfigurant les effecteurs déportés et utilisables en essaims. MBDA ne précise pas si les missiles SPEAR 3 destinés à la Royal Air Force comprendront une version dotée d'une charge de guerre électronique pour brouiller les moyens de détection ennemis. On peut supposer que "oui" puisque cela était une demande de la Royal Air Force. Déjà 561 M£ versés pour le missile SPEAR 3 Ce nouveau contrat d'un montant de 550 M£ qui lance la production du missile MBDA Spear s'ajoute à ceux déjà passés les années 2010 et 2016. En mai 2016, le ministère de la défense britannique avait annoncé avoir accordé un contrat d'une valeur de 411M£ à MBDA pour poursuivre le développement du missile Spear 3. Ce contrat faisait suite à un premier engagement de 150M£ accordé en 2010 pour lancer la phase d'évaluation du système. Essais sur avion de combat Airbus Typhoon Les essais de tir depuis l'avion de combat Airbus Typhoon avaient commencé quelques mois plus tôt tandis que les travaux d'intégration sur l'avion de combat Lockheed Martin F-35B avaient officiellement commencé trois ans plus tard, parallèlement aux travaux d'intégration du missile Meteor de MBDA sur le même avion. https://www.air-cosmos.com/article/mbda-le-missile-spear-passe-en-production-24077

  Terma North America under contract with Lockheed Martin on the C-130J

  Atlanta, February 26, 2020 - Lockheed Martin has awarded a $15M firm-fixed price contract to Terma North America to provide the ALQ-213A Defensive Aids Controller (DAC) and Range-Less Electronic Warfare Training (REWT) for the USAF HC-130J. The program allows integration of the Defensive System Suite to the HC-130J and provides the aircrew with the capability to perform realistic EW training while flying their mission. This provides a more flexible, cost-effective EW training compared to training on EW ranges. Terma has been providing EW Embedded Training systems for various military aircraft over the past 15 years with great success. REWT is latest version of advanced realistic EW training systems from Terma. Further the ALQ-213A based integration will provide the aircrew enhanced control of the HC-130J defensive systems and provisions that allow the addition of future systems to the Defensive Systems Suite. Lockheed Martin will be the prime contractor and will certify the Defensive Systems Suite capability on the HC-130J. “This program will provide the warfighters with capabilities that have long been sought after. The company leverages legacy products to ensure the safe return of pilots everywhere, so it's important that Terma deliver to the mutual mission of protecting those who use our products. It's important to focus on the overarching goal – to keep our warfighters out of harm's way, even when they fly into a potentially hostile environment,” said Lars Tolstrup, Business Development Director, Terma. Terma North America has provided the ALQ-213A DAC in the past for several international C-130J aircraft, where special defensive systems integration was required, under contracts with Lockheed Martin in Marietta. The company's primary focuses are providing advanced System Level Capabilities, hardware, integration, and sustainment to protect the warfighter. Because of the company legacy on these aircraft, Terma North America is honored to continue to provide hardware to the USAF C-130J fleet. Terma North America, Inc.
