  L'Australie crée une agence de défense spatiale

  Le gouvernement australien a annoncé ce mardi la création d'un commandement militaire de l'espace, nommé Space Command. Il sera formé sur le modèle de la Space Force des Etats-Unis (USSF), qui existe depuis décembre 2019. Dans un discours prononcé devant l'armée de l'Air australienne, le ministre de la Défense, Peter Dutton, a souligné que l'espace « prendra une plus grande importance militaire au cours de ce siècle ». « L'espace est de plus en plus encombré et déjà contesté notamment parce qu'entre concurrence et conflit, les frontières deviennent de plus en plus floues », a-t-il déclaré, indiquant que le Space Command aura pour objectif de contrer les ambitions militaires de la Chine et de la Russie dans l'espace, ainsi que tous les « pays qui considèrent l'espace comme un territoire à prendre, plutôt qu'un territoire à partager ».

  U.S.-Canada to Test Cross-border Communication for Disaster Response

  Newswise — WASHINGTON—Emergency management officials and first responder agencies on both sides of the border between the United States and Canada will work together for an experiment in disaster response. The U. S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and Canada Department of National Defence's Centre for Security Science will be conducting the fifth Canada-U.S. Enhanced Resiliency Experiment (CAUSE V) on November 15-16, 2017. This year's exercise scenario will be based on a volcanic eruption and crater collapse at Mt. Baker. Mt. Baker is an active volcano and closely monitored by the USGS. It is visible to local residents on both sides of the border. CAUSE V will take place along the border between the Canadian province of British Columbia (B.C.) and the state of Washington (WA). The scenario involving a (simulated) Mt. Baker volcanic eruption and subsequent mudflow was developed with help from the U.S. Geological Survey and will provide a realistic opportunity to test cross-border communications and interoperability between U.S. and Canadian first responder and emergency management agencies. Participants will include local first responders, emergency management agencies from Whatcom County, Washington in the U.S., the City of Abbotsford, City of Langley and the Township of Langley in B.C., U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Canada Border Services Agency. This experiment will use emerging tools for enhanced situational awareness and communications to plan for, respond and recover from this disaster. Wednesday, November 16 12:00 PM PDT U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and Canada Minister of Defence's Center for Security Science will hold a joint press conference on the conclusion of the fifth Canada-U.S. Enhanced Resiliency Experiment (CAUSE V). Whatcom County Unified Emergency Coordination Center 311 Grand Ave, Bellingham, WA 98225 Credentialed media planning to attend are required to RSVP no later than November 13 by contacting Evrim Bunn at evrim.bunn@associates.hq.dhs.gov or 1 (202) 768-5554. http://www.newswise.com/articles/u-s-canada-to-test-cross-border-communication-for-disaster-response
