Au salon Eurosatory, qui s'est tenu au Parc des expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte du 13 jusqu'à ce vendredi 17 juin, les startups étaient fortement représentées. Hébergées au sein de l'Eurosatory Lab, le pôle du salon dédié à l'innovation, 67 startups françaises et internationales ont été accueillies, dont un grand nombre proposant des produits ou des technologies ayant un usage dual, à la fois civil et militaire : la cybersécurité, l'intelligence artificielle, la simulation, la robotique, la réalité virtuelle... L'Usine Nouvelle cite notamment Conscious Labs, une startup française spécialisée dans les neurotechnologies, qui propose des casques qui analysent l'activité cérébrale. Présente surtout dans le secteur médical, elle se propose d'utiliser sa technologie pour l'analyse de l'activité cérébrale des pilotes d'avions ou d'hélicoptères dans des situations de stress intense. Emmanuel Chiva, directeur de l'Agence de l'innovation de défense au sein du ministère français des Armées, entend favoriser les liens entre secteur civil et militaire : l'objectif est de « construire des ponts entre les innovations militaires et civiles », a-t-il affirmé à l'occasion de son discours d'ouverture de l'Eurosatory Lab. En 2022, les armées françaises devraient consacrer pour leurs crédits dédiés à l'innovation un montant de l'ordre d'1 Md€, indique L'Usine Nouvelle. L'Usine Nouvelle du 17 juin

WASHINGTON ― Even an ongoing pandemic can't stop the U.S. Army's largest conference. The Association of the United States Army held its annual summit virtually this year from Oct. 13-16. Pentagon officials, service leaders and defense industry representatives gathered online to discuss the state of the Army. This included updates for industry, changes for personnel, ideas for future warfare and plans for tech acquisition. As the service ― really, the military as a whole ― pivots from its counterterror mission to great power competition against advanced adversaries, it's seeking to take a technological leap that will prepare war fighters for the future battlefield. Defense News, Army Times and C4ISRNET attended the webinars.
