    Italian F-35s In Iceland For First NATO Deployment

    Graham Warwick Italy has become the first F-35 operator to deploy the fifth-generation fighter on a NATO mission, sending the aircraft to perform air policing in Iceland. Six Italian F-35s touched down at Keflavik airfield on Sept. 25 for the temporary deployment. Unlike the Baltic Air Policing mission, which is supported year-round by NATO air forces, the Icelandic mission usually lasts several weeks and occurs three-four times each year. The F-35s are due to make Iceland their home for three weeks. According to NATO's Air Command, the deployment by Italy is the country's fifth detachment to Iceland and the second this year; Rome previously provided Eurofighter Typhoons for the mission. “The Italian Air Force detachment is scheduled to work with the controllers at the Combined Air Operations Center in Uedem, Germany, and the Control and Reporting Center at Keflavik, Iceland,” NATO Air Command officials said. No details of the deployment had been released by the Italian air force or defense ministry at the time of writing. The deployment was supported by one of Italy's Boeing KC-767 tanker aircraft, a C-130J airlifter, and a P-72 maritime patrol derivative of the ATR-72 providing cover in the event of an ejection over water. The F-35s will perform a series of familiarization flights to achieve certification for the mission. Italy declared its F-35s operational last November, becoming the fourth air arm to do so after the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Air Force and the Israeli Air Force. Iceland does not have an air force, and the U.S. stopped basing fighters on the island in 2006, prompting the government in Reykjavik to request occasional fighter deployments starting in 2008. NATO describes the mission as a “peacetime preparedness mission,” helping the country to “stay prepared, to monitor and to manage its airspace in peacetime.” The UK Royal Air Force will deploy Typhoons to the island later this year. https://aviationweek.com/defense/italian-f-35s-iceland-first-nato-deployment

  • L’Europe doit mieux réfléchir à sa défense

    L’Europe doit mieux réfléchir à sa défense

    (B2) Les Européens doivent faire preuve d'une volonté politique forte pour faire face à leur environnement géostratégique en bouleversement, selon Louis Gautier, ancien secrétaire général pour la défense et la sécurité nationale (SGDSN). C'est ce qu'il a expliqué lors des entretiens de la défense européenne à Paris jeudi (16 mai) Un constat qui demande une réflexion politique Un environnement international délétère, une Europe fragilisée L'environnement international et stratégique est « délétère ». Des conflits qui semblaient oubliés reviennent et se rapprochent de la périphérie de l'Europe. De nouveaux dangers (cyber, spatiaux...) se développent. Le constat que fait Louis Gautier n'est pas engageant. D'autant que l'Union européenne est aujourd'hui « fragilisée », minée par ses divisions. La situation s'est « encore détériorée ces derniers mois » : l'Italie, membre fondatrice de l'Union, rejoint le camp des eurosceptiques, le Royaume-Uni persiste dans les errements du Brexit, etc. Le « plus inquiétant » concerne les inconnues qui pèsent sur l'équation de sécurité européenne : le démantèlement des accords conclus à la fin de la guerre froide, l'amoindrissement de la garantie américaine, ou ce qui est ressenti comme tel, et les provocations russes. Etre lucides ! Face à ces enjeux, c'est à un constat de lucidité qu'appelle Louis Gautier : « les Européens sont incapables de faire face collectivement à une crise majeure qui surviendrait sur leur sol ou à un conflit dans leur voisinage ». La nécessité d'agir de façon stratégique doit être repensée. « L'Europe, c'est en fonction du monde qu'on doit la faire. Et la défense européenne doit répondre à ces défis de sécurité ». L'Europe et sa défense, telles qu'elles avaient été imaginées au début, doivent être « réinterrogées ». Et n'envisager la défense européenne qu'au « prisme des capacités » est une erreur. On doit commencer par « dessiner un paysage stratégique, déterminer des enjeux, définir nos intérêts collectifs ». Une relance possible ? Certes, la relance du projet de défense européenne est bien engagée, avec une « multiplication des projets », entre 2016 et 2018. C'est « très positif ». Avec le fonds européen de défense (FEDef), « pour la première fois, il y aura sur la table de l'argent européen pour la défense et cela va changer la donne ». Mais ces projets n'ont un intérêt que si l'on a des organes de gouvernance, une définition des priorités. Il s'agit maintenant de faire attention à ce que cet élan ne retombe pas. On a « déjà connu des poussées similaires » lors du Traité de Maastricht, du sommet de Saint-Malo ou du retour de la France dans l'OTAN et du Traité de Lisbonne. Et l'élan a toujours fini par s'essouffler. Les objectifs sont « à chaque fois revus à la baisse, jamais mis en œuvre, restés en suspens dans les déclarations ». L'Union européenne reste « handicapée par les divisions européennes, le manque de volonté, les déficits capacitaires ». Les réticences, les habitudes et les conservatismes l'emportent sur le dynamisme. La clé : la volonté politique pour une intervention collective La volonté politique est donc la condition majeure pour obtenir des avancées durables. Aujourd'hui, l'Union serait « absolument incapable de gérer une crise majeure sur son sol ». L'Union reste faible dans la défense de ses intérêts, qu'ils soient industriels, économiques ou sécuritaires, martèle le spécialiste des enjeux stratégiques. En cas d'attaque, les États répondront avec des moyens nationaux, moyens inégaux en fonction des capacités de chacun. Ce alors que « les brèches chez les uns créeront des vulnérabilités chez les autres ». C'est bien le manque de vision stratégique de l'Union qui paralyse les efforts. En finir avec l'éternel débat UE – OTAN Il faut arrêter de se concentrer sur l'éternel débat UE-OTAN car il s'agit aujourd'hui d'une question qui concerne « les États, leur réponse collective, et le fait que l'Union européenne peut faciliter leur coordination ». Sans intervention collective des Européens, « nous ne pouvons pas obtenir les solutions de sortie de crise ». Alors même que certaines de ces solutions sont à la portée des États membres. Cela a été démontré lors du conflit au Kosovo : des conseils européens réguliers ont « rythmé les opérations par des décisions qui ont maintenu unis les Européens ». Des clarifications nécessaires Les Européens n'ont « jamais été collectivement capables de définir quelle devait être leur contribution collective à leur défense collective ». Quel que soit le cadre. Cerner les objectifs de la défense européenne Le concept même d'‘Europe de la défense' — un ‘mot valise',« très français », intraduisible pour nos partenaires — permet de mettre « un peu tout dans le même sac : des coopérations intergouvernementales, les projets communautaires, le pilier européen dans l'OTAN... » Sans spécifier suffisamment les aspects sur lesquels travailler. Clarifier les contours de cette défense européenne est nécessaire. Il faut « cerner les objectifs, car trop d'ambition effraie ». Une indispensable clarification entre l'OTAN et l'UE Cela implique aussi une « indispensable clarification » entre l'OTAN et l'UE. « Jusqu'à preuve du contraire », la défense collective européenne « se fait dans l'OTAN ». Mais l'Union doit vérifier qu'elle est en mesurer de gérer des attaques qui ne relèveraient pas de la responsabilité de l'OTAN. « Les réponses, elles sont européennes ». On ne peut pas se reposer sur une distribution des rôles dans laquelle l'OTAN s'occupe des questions militaires pendant que l'Europe « ne ferait que du capacitaire ». Parce que, déjà, « c'est faux » selon Louis Gautier. Et car le développement des capacités vient, avant tout, « au service d'une politique militaire, industrielle. » Cinq priorités pour la suite D'abord, « l'affirmation stratégique » des Européens. Qui doivent comprendre qu'ils ont des enjeux communs à défendre et que personne ne va les défendre pour eux. Mais aussi « la protection » des frontières, des citoyens, la capacité de « réaction aux crises », « le capacitaire » et « le renforcement de la BITD [Base industrielle et technologique de défense] ». Pour ce faire, il faut « consolider l'autonomie technologique » de l'Europe, anticiper plus et mieux, et améliorer la cohérence et cohésion des structures. Alors que le budget militaire européen est de « 230 milliards d'euros », supérieur à celui de la Chine, les duplications ont un prix : « l'absence de crédibilité ». Et « si les Européens ne s'activent pas, ils sont les grands perdants du 21ème siècle ».

  • Airbus keen to play key role in ‘European answer’ to new NATO rotorcraft program

    Airbus keen to play key role in ‘European answer’ to new NATO rotorcraft program

    BY OLIVER JOHNSON | NOVEMBER 23, 2020 Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even says the OEM “should play a key role” in a recently-announced program to develop Next-Generation Rotorcraft Capabilities signed by five NATO member countries. France, Germany, Greece, Italy and the United Kingdom announced the launch of the program on Nov. 19. One of NATO's “high visibility projects,” it seeks to develop a replacement for medium multirole helicopters currently in operation that are expected to reach the end of their lifecycle around 2035 to 2040. “I'm convinced that there should be a European answer,” Even told journalists during a recent conference call. “I'm convinced that we have the competencies, the capability in Europe, to answer to the requirement and the need of our European customers.” The program echoes the origin of the NHIndustries NH90, which was developed collaboratively by Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo Helicopters, and Fokker Aerostructures in response to a NATO requirement for a medium multi-role helicopter. “We like to come at open level, which means that as we did with NH90, Airbus Helicopters should play a key role, but should also be ready to partner, and to cooperate for such a future European program,” said Even. “I think it's fair to consider that there should be a European answer, not only because we have the competence and the capability . . . but it's also a question of [the] strategic autonomy of Europe.” Over 420 NH90s have been delivered to 18 customers in 13 countries — including France, Germany, Greece and Italy. However, Even said he did not see the newly-announced program necessarily providing a replacement to the NH90 itself. “The need could be also to complement some of the [customer fleets'] existing capability — the NH90, Tiger and so on — which will continue to fly through 2040/2050,” he said. “The need could be to complement these platforms/programs with a new type of architecture in order to bring a new capability, either in terms of autonomy, connectivity, speed, [or] range.” Experts from the five participant nations are to meet to define a statements of requirements and a multi-phase cooperation plan, beginning a multi-year program of work. “I think it's good to see that reflection not only for short- or medium-, but also for long-term requirements,” said Even. “As an industry, you need this long-term view on the evolution of the requirement in order to have time not only to mature technologies, but also to mature [the] architecture, and to be in position to launch the program when the need will be there.” https://verticalmag.com/news/airbus-keen-to-play-key-role-in-european-answer-to-new-nato-rotorcraft-program/
