    France: Budget 2019: l'armée se débarrasse de ses vieilleries

    Par Romain Rosso Avec 35,9 milliards d'euros (+5% par rapport à l'an dernier), la France consacre 1,82% de la richesse nationale à sa défense. Longtemps en déflation, le budget de la Défense est désormais une priorité nationale. A l'heure de la réduction de la dépense publique, le ministère des Armées est le grand gagnant des arbitrages budgétaires pour 2019. Les Armées présentent un budget en hausse de 5% par rapport à 2018, pour un montant de 35,9 milliards d'euros (hors pensions)*. "Pour mesurer le chemin parcouru, souligne l'hôtel de Brienne, c'est près de 4 milliards de plus qu'en 2016, après les attentats de Paris et l'actualisation de la précédente Loi de programmation militaire (LPM) [sous François Hollande, ndlr]. Pendant la même période, les crédits alloués à l'équipement des forces armées ont progressé, eux, de 2,5 milliards d'euros, soit 19,5 milliards d'euros en 2019." La question des crédits accordés à la défense est devenue sensible depuis la démission fracassante de l'ancien chef d'état-major des armées, le général Pierre de Villiers, en juillet 2017. L'officier s'était alors fait rabroué par le président de la République après avoir critiqué des coupes budgétaires. Pas de surprise cette année : avec une augmentation de 1,7 milliard d'euros, ce budget 2019 suit une trajectoire conforme à celle inscrite dans la nouvelle LPM, votée en juin dernier. Celle-ci prévoit une hausse substantielle, de l'ordre de 295 milliards d'euros, à l'horizon 2025. Renouveler des avions et des blindés hors d''ge Ces sommes permettront de "régénérer", c'est-à-dire de réparer, et surtout de renouveler certaines capacités les plus anciennes, dont les armées ont cruellement besoin lors des nombreuses opérations extérieures qu'elles mènent, notamment en Afrique et au Levant sur le thé'tre irako-syrien. Ainsi, le premier avion ravitailleur MRTT (un gros airbus A330) doit enfin arriver, en octobre, en remplacement des appareils actuels qui datent des années 1960. Douze appareils neufs sont prévus d'ici à 2023. Six drones Reaper seront aussi livrés : plusieurs sont déjà déployés au Sahel, où ils sont des outils indispensables dans la guerre contre les groupes armées djihadistes. Nouveauté : ces drones seront armés, comme l'a annoncé la ministre l'an dernier. Le futur porte-avions à l'étude L'armée de terre, elle, attend la livraison de 89 véhicules Griffon, un blindé "multirôle" à 6 roues motrices, pouvant partager en temps réel ses données avec les autres, à la place des VAB, eux aussi, hors d''ge. Quant à la marine, elle recevra une frégate multimissions (Fremm). Autre bonne nouvelle pour les marins : les études pour le futur porte-avions, qui doit succéder au Charles-de-Gaulle d'ici à 2040, ont été lancées. Si l'hypothèse d'un second navire étendard fait partie de la réflexion, il est peu probable qu'elle soit retenue, en raison du coût d'un tel outil, dans un horizon stratégique imprévisible et lointain. "Le choix se fera après la LPM", glisse-t-on à Brienne. Dans les prochaines années, un autre débat risque d'être encore plus animé, lié à la dissuasion nucléaire. 400 millions d'euros supplémentaires viennent d'être alloués à la modernisation de ses deux composantes (aérienne et navale) : missile, système de transmission, programme de simulation... Avec 4,45 milliards d'euros consacrés en 2019 à l'armement atomique, la "clef de voûte" de la défense nationale consume près de 23% du budget d'équipement des armées et 12% du budget global. Ce montant va aller croissant à partir de 2020. Certains, notamment dans l'armée de terre, craignent que cela ne se fasse aux dépens de l'armement conventionnel. Améliorer le quotidien des soldats Il n'y a pas que les grands équipements. Florence Parly en fait son mantra : la LPM, dite à "hauteur d'homme", prévoit d'améliorer le quotidien du soldat. Par exemple, en renforçant les petits équipements individuels, tels que les treillis intégrant une protection contre le feu ou les gilets pare-balles - 25 000, sur les 55 000 prévus à terme, doivent être livrés. De même que 8 000 nouveaux fusils d'assaut allemand HK 416, qui remplacent depuis peu les fameux Famas français. Quant au "plan familles", il bénéficiera de 57 millions d'euros supplémentaires. Au total, 450 postes seront créés, dont les trois quarts iront au renseignement et à la cyberdéfense. Le ministère des Armées affiche désormais la volonté de rendre son budget "sincère". Ainsi, les provisions des opérations extérieures (opex), naguère sous-évaluées en début d'exercice, progressent de 200 millions d'euros, à hauteur de 850 millions d'euros. Elles seront progressivement portées à 1,1 milliard d'euros, proche de leur coût réel. Si, malgré tout, des surcoûts devaient survenir, ils seraient pris en charge par la solidarité interministérielle, indique-t-on à Brienne. Dans le cas inverse - peu probable dans le contexte actuel - où les opex coûteraient moins cher dans l'avenir, les Armées conserveraient le surplus. Aux armées désormais de payer les "opex" Si la franchise a des vertus, elle n'en masque pas moins un changement de périmètre : "Tout ce qui concourt à rendre 'sincère' le budget est une bonne chose, relevait, dans une interview à L'Express, le général Pierre de Villiers, ancien chef d'état-major des armées. Toutefois, je note que, dans le programme présidentiel [du candidat Macron], le budget des armées 2025 devait s'élever à 50 milliards d'euros courants, hors pensions et hors opex." En clair, ce sont désormais les armées qui paient le surcoût des opérations extérieures et non plus la solidarité gouvernementale. Quant à la fameuse trajectoire prévue, elle sera portée à 3 milliards d'euros supplémentaires par an [soit 44 milliards d'euros en totalité] à partir de 2023, c'est-à-dire au-delà du quinquennat. * Une première augmentation de 1,8 milliard avait été décidée l'an dernier, qui a couvert les engagements de la précédente mandature. https://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/politique/budget-2019-l-armee-se-debarrasse-de-ses-vieilleries_2036930.html

    What kind of industrial cooperation will improved Israel-UAE relations produce?

    By: Agnes Helou Correction: A previous version of this story misidentified the title and employer of Aram Nerguizian. He is a senior associate with the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. BEIRUT — Analysts are looking forward to potential cooperation among the defense industries of Israel and the United Arab Emirates, following the Aug. 13 announcement that the two countries are establishing full diplomatic relations in a U.S.-brokered deal. “It is monumental for both Israel and the UAE that they are now on an unprecedented path to normalization. How this might or might not affect the UAE defense sector in the short to medium term is far from certain,” said Aram Nerguizian, a senior associate with the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “There are certainly areas where industry in both countries will have a desire to collaborate, explore cost, and access sharing tied to research and development, let alone explore opportunities for equity and ownership in leading defense firms in both countries,” he added. Some of these opportunities to collaborate include cybersecurity and advanced defense systems. “Cybersecurity is one of the areas which could witness industrial cooperation between the UAE and Israel, and the latter have a strong edge in this area, also in unmanned autonomous systems, unmanned aircraft, missile defense, electronic systems and system integration. These are all areas where there is potential cooperation,” said Riad Kahwaji, a Dubai-based Middle East security and defense analyst who and serves as director of the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis. Opportunities are also stem from the fact that the two countries use similar platforms, like the F-16 fighter jet and Patriot missiles. And as both nations view Iran as a security threat, that common adversary could drive cooperation, Kahwaji noted. What about the F-35? Negotiations between the U.S. and the UAE for the latter's purchase of the F-35 fighter jet haven't significantly advanced since the Israel-UAE announcement, and Nerguizian doesn't expect that to move forward. “None of this, however, changes short- to medium-term Israeli and U.S. concerns tied to Israel's QME [qualitative military edge] and regional proliferation. Sharing access and ownership to a fifth-generation platform like the F-35 falls into that uncertainty. For now, it is clear that both Israel and the U.S. remain concerned and opposed to the UAE acquiring the F-35,” Nerguizian said. “Certainly, that can change from a U.S. policy perspective if the Trump administration weighs in, if it is reelected for a second term. However, doing so would go against Israel's larger concerns that have less to do with the UAE and more to do with concern that if the UAE gets the platform, it will only be a matter of time before Saudi Arabia and eventually Egypt seek to acquire it as well,” the analyst added. “That is not something Israeli policymakers are all too comfortable with in the here and now. I should caveat that how that dynamic evolves in the medium to long term is far more uncertain. Both Israel and the UAE have reasons to deepen mutual trust and cooperation beyond narrowly balancing or containing Iran. Whether that level of cooperation extends to the F-35 or similar so-called ‘game-changer' systems is not something we can clearly predict.” A domino effect Kahwaji told Defense News that the Israel-UAE deal — which required the Jewish state halt its contentious plan to annex occupied West Bank land sought by the Palestinians — could be a sign of improved relations to come among Mideast neighbors, particularly invovling Bahrain, Oman and Qatar. “However, any negative moves by Netanyahu, like reviving his plan to annex the West Bank, will be a setback that will definitely sway many countries from following the UAE's path and could definitely impact UAE-Israel relation in a negative way,” the military expert said. Whether there will be growth across the entire region's defense industries remains to be seen. “Irrespective of administration, regional defense industries in the Arab world will continue to struggle against U.S. congressional limits and rules tied to [the International Traffic in Arms Regulations],” Nerguizian said. “There is an assumption that a Trump reelection might lead to more executive if not more legislative action, but that assumption still has to be tested, as concerns about [intellectual property] transfers, [qualitative military edge] and proliferation continue to cut across U.S. party lines.” Josef Federman, Matthew Lee and Jon Gambrell of The Associated Press contributed to this report. https://www.defensenews.com/global/mideast-africa/2020/08/26/what-kind-of-industrial-cooperation-will-improved-israel-uae-relations-produce/
