    L3Harris Technologies awarded third LRIP order on US Army’s HMS Manpack IDIQ contract

    Rochester, N.Y. Apr 28, 2020 - L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has received a third low-rate initial production (LRIP) order valued at $95 million by the U.S. Army under the HMS (Handheld, Manpack & Small Form-Fit) IDIQ contract to bring AN/PRC-158 multi-channel radios to the battlefield. This LRIP will be followed by an Operational Test that will inform a Full Rate Production decision for the AN/PRC-158 and other HMS products. The IDIQ contract includes a five-year base and an additional five-year option with a ceiling of $12.7 billion. The Army expects to purchase approximately 65,000 HMS Manpack radios under the IDIQ. The L3Harris AN/PRC-158 radio features a two-channel, software-defined architecture with integrated cross-banding between waveforms, including Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), Demand Assigned Multiple Access/Integrated Waveform (DAMA/IW) and ready for the Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN) waveform, providing advanced capabilities while maintaining backward interoperability with legacy systems. The software-defined architecture enables flexibility to respond to new and emerging requirements and allows easy porting of new waveforms. The radio is capable of simultaneously handling classified and unclassified data. “L3Harris is proud to deliver the most critical part of the U.S. Army's Integrated Tactical Network, enabling secure multi-mission capability in the most challenging and contested environments,” said Dana Mehnert, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. “The AN/PRC-158 will equip soldiers with cutting-edge waveforms, providing resilient SATCOM and advanced wideband networking at the tactical edge.” About L3Harris Technologies L3Harris Technologies is an agile global aerospace and defense technology innovator, delivering end-to-end solutions that meet customers' mission-critical needs.

    Rafaut Group, nouveau champion européen de la défense

    Rafaut Group, sous-traitant du Rafale de Dassault Aviation, aspire à grandir à l'échelle européenne. La PME française pèse désormais 160 M€ de chiffre d'affaires pour 640 salariés, et ambitionne d'atteindre les 250 M€ de chiffre d'affaires en 2025. Basée à Villeneuve-la-Garenne (Hauts-de-Seine), Rafaut Group est spécialisé dans les systèmes d'emports et d'éjection, mais aussi les réservoirs carburants et d'autres équipements. Après une réorganisation et une modernisation de ses sites, le groupe veut devenir un fournisseur de premier rang. Soutenu par le fonds d'investissement HLD (actionnaire majoritaire avec 55% du capital), aux côtés d'ACE (Tikehau), d'Etoile Capital et de BNP Paribas, le groupe a acquis différentes entreprises depuis trois ans : AEds, Secapem, Alkan... Des acquisitions qui lui ont permis de renforcer ses compétences dans les hélicoptères, systèmes d'entrainements pour pilotes ou encore des systèmes d'emport et d'éjection. Mais le groupe tient à maintenir une stratégie duale, et pourrait viser prochainement une acquisition dans le secteur civil. Le groupe s'intéresse également aux drones, et travaille à la numérisation de ses sites comme ceux de Villeneuve-la-Garenne et Vitry, dans le cadre du programme Industrie du Futur chapeauté par le GIFAS.
