Les parties conviennent qu’afin d’aider l’Ukraine à défendre son espace aérien, elles mettront en place une coalition interarmées visant à former les membres de la Force aérienne ukrainienne à l’exploitation et à l’entretien des chasseurs F-16, conformément aux autorisations nécessaires et avec la possibilité d’inclure d’autres types d’avions de chasse ultérieurement. Les parties conviennent de commencer la formation des pilotes, des techniciens et du personnel de soutien ukrainiens concernés, ce qui permettra à la Force aérienne ukrainienne d’acquérir les capacités de base pour exploiter, réparer et entretenir les chasseurs F-16. Il s’agit notamment de mettre à disposition les équipements, les formateurs et les autres membres du personnel nécessaires pour une telle formation. Toutes les activités de formation se déroulement à l’extérieur de l’Ukraine. La coalition se concentrera sur la formation, mais elle sera également disposée, en temps opportun, à envisager d’autres lignes d’actions visant à garantir que l’Ukraine dispose d’une capacité de chasseurs F-16 pleinement opérationnelle. https://www.canada.ca/fr/ministere-defense-nationale/nouvelles/2023/07/declaration-concernant-une-coalition-interarmees-pour-lentrainement-de-la-force-aerienne-ukrainienne-a-lutilisation-des-chasseurs-f-16.html

    Maxar's SSL Selected to Define Small Satellite Requirements for Environmental Defense Fund

    SSL continues to grow its small form-factor spacecraft business, leveraging the power of Maxar's broad space systems expertise PALO ALTO, CA, Jan. 10, 2019 /CNW/ - SSL, a Maxar Technologies company (NYSE: MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), and a leading provider of innovative satellites and spacecraft systems, announced today that it is leveraging Maxar's combined capabilities for a contract to define requirements for a small form-factor satellite that will monitor and measure methane emissions from oil and gas facilities around the world. The satellite, named MethaneSAT, will enable Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to change the way we detect and analyze methane emissions and understand and combat climate change. Following design development, EDF anticipates awarding a contract in 2019 for the final design and manufacturing of the satellite. MethaneSAT will provide global, high-resolution detection of methane emissions from regions that account for over 80 percent of global oil and gas production on a weekly basis. The satellite's high precision will enable it to detect and quantify both high- and low-emission sources and accurately attribute them to relevant oil and gas infrastructure. To enhance its solution, SSL is working together with Maxar's DigitalGlobe, which is the global leader in commercial high-resolution satellite imagery. DigitalGlobe will provide technical input on the satellite payload design and guidance on the overall mission plan. "SSL's decades of experience in developing reliable spacecraft systems, combined with the full suite of space capabilities offered by Maxar Technologies, uniquely positions us to provide solutions for advanced missions, such as MethaneSAT," said Richard White, president of SSL Government Systems.

  • Europe takes new step toward future combat jet

    19 juin 2019 | International, Aérospatial

    Europe takes new step toward future combat jet

    France, Germany and Spain on Monday unveiled a next-generation combat jet for European air forces, an ambitious project aimed at bringing together the continent's disparate military forces while offering an alternative to American planes. The stealth jet is part of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), which will also include drones, missiles and so-called "remote carriers" that can be used to deliver munitions, scramble communication networks or divert the attention of enemy defences. French President Emmanuel Macron attended the unwrapping of a full-scale model of the sleek delta-wing aircraft at the opening of the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, just north of the French capital. The official cooperation accord launching the project was then signed by the French, German and Spanish defence ministers: Florence Parly, Ursula Von der Leyen and Margarita Robles. "This project now has a resolutely European dimension: Spain has officially joined the programme this morning," Parly said. Spain announced its participation earlier this year, but so far no other EU nations have signed on, though officials in Macron's office say talks are underway to bring other nations on board. Airbus and France's Dassault Aviation are leading the plane's development, aiming to have it operational by 2040, when it will replace the current generation of Rafale and Eurofighter jets. France's Safran is also developing a new motor for the plane that may include hybrid electric technologies, making the plane quieter while also lowering its heat signature, making it harder to detect. But Paris and Berlin have still to award an expected 150-million euro ($169-million) contract to begin work on a test plane that could start flying in 2026. Parly told journalists the contract is expected to be finalised by the end of this year. The new plane is a crucial test for Europe's ability to forge a joint operational command that could ensure its military sovereignty at a time of growing tensions with the US under President Donald Trump, who has put the solidity of the NATO alliance into question. Officials will have to win over several EU countries which are longstanding clients of American jets, and which may be tempted by Lockheed Martin's new F-35 stealth fighter. And the new European jet already has a rival on home turf—Britain's Tempest stealth fighter project, which has already garnered the support of Italy and the Netherlands. https://phys.org/news/2019-06-europe-future-combat-jet.html
