  Les EAU profitent du Dubai Airshow pour renforcer leurs équipements militaires

  Pleins feux sur les Emirats arabes unis et leur salon de l'aéronautique, le Dubai Airshow. Afin d'assurer le plus grand rayonnement possible à l'évènement, les EAU ont annoncé une série de contrats militaires, pour un montant global dépassant les 4 Md€. L'annonce la plus notable a été la commande de deux ravitailleurs supplémentaires Airbus A330 MRTT, pour un montant de 625 M€. Les livraisons débuteront en 2024 et les deux appareils bénéficieront des dernières améliorations opérationnelles développées par les équipes d'Airbus Military Aircraft. Autre contrat d'importance, celui passé auprès de Progressive Technologies pour la fourniture de munitions pour la Force aérienne et la Défense aérienne des Emirats Arabes Unis. L'américain Goodrich s'est vu attribuer 16,5 M€ pour la fourniture de services de soutien et d'assistance technique ainsi que de pièces de rechange. Thales a de son côté enregistré deux contrats, l'un portant sur l'achat de systèmes de communication, l'autre portant sur l'achat de pièces de rechange et de maintenance. Air & Cosmos du 15 novembre

  The Army wants new tools to sense, disrupt and protect signals

  By: Mark Pomerleau The Army will be hosting members of industry in 2019 to discuss opportunities on signals intelligence and electronic warfare, according to a December 2018 notice. The Signals Intelligence/Electronic Warfare (SIGINT/EW) Future Opportunities and Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) Industry Day will be hosted Jan. 23 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The Army has charted a path forward that includes integrating signals intelligence and electronic warfare systems into a single tool for greater synergy between the two disciplines. One of the first systems the Army is building on this front is the Terrestrial Layer System, an integrated EW and signals intelligence system that will provide a much-needed jamming capability to formations. The Army is taking a multitiered approach to TLS, leveraging assessments, exercises and even deployments of quick-reaction capabilities to inform how the service will move forward on prototyping and providing much-needed capabilities, such as this one, to units. Officials have noted that this approach differs from acquisition processes of the past. “We hope to go faster, but with the authorities granted by Congress ... we think this rapid prototyping using the buy, try, decide method is going to be great for this rapid acquisition process,” said Col. Jennifer McAfee, director of the Training and Doctrine Command's capabilities manager for terrestrial and identity at the Intelligence Center of Excellence. “Are we going to field this next week? Not necessarily, but we're talking fielding to the force in the next two to three years, not seven to 10 years.” Industry's role will be to help provide prototypes that will reduce the risk of flaws in the final solution. https://www.c4isrnet.com/electronic-warfare/2018/12/21/the-army-wants-new-tools-to-sense-disrupt-and-protect-signals
