AIRBUS HELICOPTERS ET LA DGA SÉLECTIONNENT LA NOUVELLE SUITE AVIONIQUE FLYTX DE THALES POUR LEURS PROGRAMMES HÉLICOPTÈRES DE DERNIÈRE GÉNÉRATION

  • La suite avionique FlytX a été sélectionnée par Airbus Helicopters et la Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) pour équiper les futurs Hélicoptères Interarmées Légers (HIL) H160M. En parallèle, Airbus Helicopters et Thales poursuivent des études pour la potentielle intégration de FlytX sur le futur Tigre MKIII.

  • Conçu à Bordeaux, ce cockpit facilite le pilotage gr'ce aux technologies les plus récentes en matière d'affichage. FlytX s'appuie sur des interfaces homme-machines tactiles, directes et naturelles.

  • La charge de travail est ainsi réduite permettant aux pilotes de se concentrer sur leurs missions avec un niveau de sécurité optimal.

Les hélicoptères militaires ont à assurer des missions de reconnaissance, d'appui feu, de surveillance ou de sauvetage dans un environnement de plus en plus saturé. Les pilotes doivent pouvoir observer leurs ennemis, esquiver les obstacles et réussir leurs missions tout en assurant le pilotage et en vérifiant les informations transmises par le système de bord.
Entièrement tourné vers la mission, FlytX a été développé afin d'offrir une efficacité maximale. La technologie mise en œuvre dans la solution FlytX permet de réduire la charge de travail des pilotes afin qu'à chaque moment décisif, ils puissent se concentrer sur la réussite de leurs missions.

Gr'ce à l'expertise de Thales dans le domaine de l'avionique, la solution offre une efficacité maximale en termes d'interaction hommes-machine. Ce cockpit permet un accès plus rapide aux informations associé à une représentation synthétique de l'environnement extérieur. Dotée d'une large zone d'affichage, cette avionique facilite l'interaction des équipages, englobant tous les systèmes avions, fusionnant les informations et rend ainsi les prises de décisions plus instinctives.

Personnalisable et évolutif, ce cockpit du futur peut parfaitement s'adapter aux besoins spécifiques des équipages et de leurs missions. Entièrement connecté, FlytX est interfaçable, en vol et au sol, avec des applications du monde ouvert dans un environnement cybersécurisé. Les exploitants pourront ainsi accéder, dans un cadre entièrement sécurisé, à leurs propres systèmes et les faire évoluer librement.

Conçu sur le Campus de Bordeaux, où Thales développe et produit des systèmes avioniques et aéroportés à la pointe de l'innovation mondiale, il regroupe sur plus de 60 000 m² 2 800 collaborateurs dont 80% d'ingénieurs et cadres.

    Babcock Team 31 selected as preferred bidder for UK Type 31 frigate programme

    September 12, 2019 - Babcock Team 31 has been selected by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) as the preferred bidder to deliver its new warships. Led by Babcock, the Aerospace and Defence company, and in partnership with the Thales Group, the T31 general purpose frigate programme will provide the UK Government with a fleet of five ships, at an average production cost of £250 million per ship. Following a comprehensive competitive process, Arrowhead 140, a capable, adaptable and technology-enabled global frigate will be the UK Royal Navy's newest class of warships, with the first ship scheduled for launch in 2023. At its height the programme will maximise a workforce of around 1250 highly- skilled roles in multiple locations throughout the UK, with around 150 new technical apprenticeships likely to be developed. The work is expected to support an additional 1250 roles within the wider UK supply chain. With Babcock's Rosyth facility as the central integration site, the solution provides value for money and squarely supports the principles of the National Shipbuilding Strategy. It builds on the knowledge and expertise developed during the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier modular build programme. The announcement follows a competitive design phase where Babcock Team 31 was chosen alongside two other consortia to respond to the UK MOD's requirements. Work on the fleet of five ships will begin immediately following formal contract award later this financial year, with detailed design work to start now and manufacture commencing in 2021 and concluding in 2027. Archie Bethel, CEO Babcock said: “It has been a tough competition and we are absolutely delighted that Arrowhead 140 has been recognised as offering the best design, build and delivery solution for the UK's Royal Navy Type 31 frigates. “Driven by innovation and backed by experience and heritage, Arrowhead 140 is a modern warship that will meet the maritime threats of today and tomorrow, with British ingenuity and engineering at its core. It provides a flexible, adaptable platform that delivers value for money and supports the UK's National Shipbuilding Strategy.” Arrowhead 140 will offer the Royal Navy a new class of ship with a proven ability to deliver a range of peacekeeping, humanitarian and warfighting capabilities whilst offering communities and supply chains throughout the UK a wide range of economic and employment opportunities. A key element of the Type31 programme is to supply a design with the potential to secure a range of export orders thereby supporting the UK economy and UK jobs. Arrowhead 140 will offer export customers an unrivalled blend of price, capability and flexibility backed by the Royal Navy's world-class experience and Babcock looks forward to working closely with DIT and MOD in this regard. Arrowhead 140 is a multi-role frigate equipping today's mariner with real-time data to support immediate and complex decision-making. The frigate is engineered to minimise through-life costs whilst delivering a truly leading-edge ship, featuring an established, proven and exportable combat management system provided by Thales. Victor Chavez, Chief Executive of Thales in the UK said: “Thales is delighted to be part of the successful Team 31 working with Babcock and has been at the forefront of innovation with the Royal Navy for over 100 years. “With the announcement today that Arrowhead 140 has been selected as the preferred bidder for the new Type 31e frigate, the Royal Navy will join the global community of 26 navies utilising the Thales Tacticos combat management system. Thales already provides the eyes and ears of the Royal Navy and will now provide the digital heart of the UK's next generation frigates.” Babcock will now enter a period of detailed discussions with the MOD and supply chain prior to formal contract award expected later this year.
