Des missions sans GPS pour l'armée de l'Air gr'ce à Sodern et Safran E&D
Sodern, filiale d'ArianeGroup et leader mondial des viseurs d'étoiles pour satellites, et Safran Electronics & Defense, filiale de Safran, développent un système de visée stellaire diurne et nocturne pour avions militaires. Ce système permettra aux forces armées françaises de s'affranchir de toute dépendance au GNSS (GPS et Galileo), qui pourrait être brouillé ou leurré lors de combat à haute intensité. «La France est pionnière de cette technologie et pourrait être, à terme, la première nation disposant d'une telle capacité opérationnelle», explique Jean-Marc Espinasse, le directeur de la stratégie et de l'innovation chez Sodern, dans La Tribune. «On croit vraiment à son apport capacitaire, qui va donner une vraie supériorité opérationnelle à nos forces lors de combat à haute intensité», ajoute-t-il. Sélectionnés en 2016 par la DGA et par l'Agence d'Innovation Défense (AID), les deux entreprises ont mis au point un démonstrateur, qui fonctionne déjà au sol, après une campagne d'essais réalisée fin 2019. Une campagne d'essais en vol est prévue à l'automne. Le système pourrait être opérationnel sur un avion de l'armée française (Rafale, A400M, MRTT...) d'ici à cinq ans, selon Jean-Marc Espinasse. Outre les avions, d'autres porteurs comme les navires, les drones voire les véhicules terrestres sont envisageables.
