    How COVID-19 affected the Army’s plan for testing new network tools

    Andrew Eversden The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the Army's plans for testing upgrades to its network, according to two top Army generals working on the project. The pandemic has meant fewer soldiers have availability to perform operational testing for new network equipment, known as Capability Set '21. Units are either not training or have implemented safety measures such as social distancing or personal protective equipment. “The COVID-19 has had an impact on our cycle of testing, our access to units, and it's caused us to make some adjustments in our in our time schedule, as we've been trying to take care of the health and safety of our soldiers and our workforce, but still keep our modernization efforts on track,” said Maj. Gen. Peter Gallagher, director of the network cross-functional team for Army Futures Command, at a C4ISRNET event in May. The Army had to change plans for soldier experiments that were going to play important roles in informing the allocation of new devices across the brigades. “We had to really start with what were we going to learn specifically from those soldier experiments and how are we going to use that information to help make procurement decisions,” said then-Maj. Gen. David Bassett and former leader of Army Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical at the C4ISRNET conference. Bassett has since been promoted to lieutenant general and now leads the Defense Contract Management Agency. He added, “And so in most cases, we weren't really using that to decide whether we were going to buy something or not. [It was] more about the density and the way things were integrated.” Bassett also said that while the Army did lose out on some field testing, the service had already collected sufficient data in labs that could help “inform some of our decision-making.” He also said that the network modernization team was prepared to make adjustments to equipment because of the challenges associated with coronavirus. “We're looking really hard at and when the next opportunities are going to be available to us to get that detailed operational feedback from soldiers either in a training environment or a test environment,” Bassett said. The coronavirus pandemic “hasn't limited” the Army's ability to move forward on procurement decisions because of the large amounts of data it collected in testing for Capability Set '21. “I think the risk of making those procurement decisions at this stage has been exceedingly low. And something that I think is a reasonable balance of risk and rigor and agility,” Bassett said. The testing program was also disrupted at the beginning of the year when the 82nd Airborne Division, a primary partner for testing capabilities, was deployed to the Middle East. https://www.c4isrnet.com/battlefield-tech/it-networks/2020/07/28/how-covid-19-affected-the-armys-plan-for-testing-new-network-tools/

    Brazil postpones decisions again for its new corvettes

    Victor Barreira, Istanbul - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly The Brazilian Navy has postponed by about two months the short list and best and final offer (BAFO) decisions for its ambitious Tamandaré-class corvette project, the second leading priority within the force. The newly established schedule calls for the short list and BAFO announcements to occur in October and December respectively, the navy told Jane's on 17 August. The navy said it is delaying its decision because it needs additional information from the competitors to properly analyse the bids. Service officials provided no additional details on what information it still requires. The navy has not said how many companies will be included on the short list.

    AVION DE COMBAT DU FUTUR : DASSAULT AVIATION EXHORTE LA FRANCE ET L’ALLEMAGNE À S’ENTENDRE RAPIDEMENT

    Paris et Berlin doivent impérativement régler leurs différends sur l'avion de combat du futur, avertit Dassaut Aviation. Le projet européen d'avion de combat du futur tarde à prendre forme. A cet égard, le patron de Dassault Aviation a appelé Paris et Berlin à rapidement se mettre d'accord sur des règles d'exportations concernant le Système de Combat Aérien Futur (SCAF) franco-germano-espagnol, pour permettre de lancer les études menant à la conception d'un démonstrateur. "La notification (du contrat) des démonstrateurs aurait dû se faire en juin lors du salon du Bourget. Septembre devait être l'heure du lancement, on évoque aujourd'hui la fin de l'année. Attention que cela ne se décale pas trop encore", a mis en garde Eric Trappier à l'occasion de l'Université d'été de la défense sur la base aérienne d'Avord (Cher). Un démonstrateur est un premier prototype, capable de voler. "Ce n'est pas de l'impatience, c'est indispensable" pour conserver l'objectif d'une entrée en service à l'horizon 2040 avec un premier démonstrateur en 2026 comme il est prévu, a prévenu le patron de Dassault, qui assure la direction du programme côté industriels. Paris, Berlin et Madrid ont signé le 17 juin lors du salon du Bourget un accord-cadre structurant les trois pays autour du SCAF. Au coeur de ce système se trouve le futur chasseur (NGF, Next Generation Fighter), destiné à remplacer les actuels Rafale et Eurofighter. Un premier contrat d'architecture, d'un montant de 65 millions d'euros, avait été notifié en janvier à Dassault Aviation et Airbus. Mais pour Eric Trappier, "pour que ce projet prenne réellement son vol, il faut désormais dépasser le stade de la première étude qui nous a été notifié en début d'année. Il faut le poursuivre par le lancement des démonstrateurs, c'est vital". "La volonté de lancer un programme incombe toujours aux politiques et à eux seuls. Il reste encore des points délicats à trancher, notamment des points d'exportabilité", a-t-il noté. Une source gouvernementale française a toutefois confié à l'AFP : "nous sommes en train de converger" sur la question des exportations. https://www.capital.fr/economie-politique/avion-de-combat-du-futur-paris-et-berlin-doivent-regler-leurs-differends-selon-dassault-1350087
