    Raytheon Technologies Corporation: UTC, Raytheon make marriage official

    By: Aaron Mehta Updated with comments from officials on June 10, 2019, at 9:21 a.m. ET. WASHINGTON — Raytheon and United Technologies Corporation will officially merge into a new entity called Raytheon Technologies Corporation, with the deal taking place in first half of 2020. Following Saturday reports that a merger was imminent, the two firms made the news official Sunday, launching a website about the planned all-stock deal. On Monday, Raytheon CEO Thomas Kennedy and UTC CEO Greg Hayes held a conference call, where the two revealed that discussions about a potential merger started in summer 2018, before taking off in earnest this January. “It's like a mirror,” Kennedy said of UTC, noting both companies invest heavily in new technologies while remaining “platform agnostic.” Hayes added that there is roughly a one percent overlap between the two firms portfolios. The new company will be roughly 50-50 defense and commercial, with plans to spend $8 billion on R&D after combining. Much of that funding will go towards high-end defense programs, including, per a news release, “hypersonics and future missile systems; directed energy weapons; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) in contested environments; cyber protection for connected aircraft; next generation connected airspace; and advanced analytics and artificial intelligence for commercial aviation.” The new firm has a “tremendous opportunity to invest” in the future, Hayes said. “The resources of the combined company will allow us to do things on a stand alone basis that would have been very difficult” individually. Hayes also expressed his belief the Pentagon would not see major issues, given the limited overlap. However, other trouble may be brewing; during a Monday interview with CNBC, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed concern about the agreement. While being billed as a “merger of equals,” UTC shareowners will own approximately 57 percent and Raytheon shareowners will own approximately 43 percent of the combined company. A spokesperson for Raytheon confirmed to Defense News Sunday that the combined company will be based in the greater Boston area. Raytheon is based in the Boston suburb of Waltham, while UTC is based in Farmington, Conn. Per a news release, the new company will have approximately $74 billion in pro forma 2019 sales. The release also highlights that the merged company will be a major player in both the defense and commercial aerospace markets, giving greater market resiliency. Byron Callan, a defense analyst with Capital Alpha Partners, wrote Sunday in a note to investors that the merger may be a sign of market trends to come. “An RTN-UTX deal may be a signal (a siren?) that 1) this U.S. defense cycle is peaking, and firms need to start repositioning for growth in 2021 and beyond; 2) Maybe the commercial aerospace outlook is looking wobbly too and Western firms need to hedge against fallout from a U.S.-China trade split. A U.S. recession is overdue; 3) Defense firms will need to fund more of their own R&D in the future so joining a larger firm will limit margin pressure which could be evidenced in the 2020s,” Callan wrote. Callan also sees “some overlap in the defense portfolios” for the two companies, primarily through the Mission Systems segment of Collins Aerospace. That could require some small divestitures down the road as the deal is finalized, but there do not appear to be any major issues that would lead to objections from the Pentagon. “Both are active in defense communications, though Collins has a larger share. Both have imaging/IR products, though Raytheon has a larger product offering,” he wrote. “Collins provides large space imaging mirrors used in surveillance satellites but it's not clear to us if there is an overlap with Raytheon's classified space payload work.” The deal should create a mammoth defense contractor second only to Lockheed Martin. Raytheon already ranked number two on the most recent Defense News Top 100 list, with $23.5 billion in defense revenues, 93 percent of its overall revenue total; UTC has $7.83 billion in defense revenues, a mere 13 percent of its overall figures. However, that UTC number came before its acquisition of Rockwell Collins and its $2.28 billion in defense revenues, which will naturally increase United's overall number. The move comes after 18 months of major defense consolidation. In addition to UTC's move on Rockwell, there was the General Dynamics acquisition of CSRA, Northrop Grumman's acquisition of Orbital ATK, and L3 and Harris announcing in Oct. 2018 that they would combine to form what at the time appeared to be the seventh largest global defense firm. https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2019/06/09/raytheon-technologies-corporation-utc-raytheon-make-marriage-official/

  • The real obstacle for reforming military spending isn’t in the defence ministry. It’s the Treasury Board

    14 novembre 2019 | Information, Aérospatial, Naval, Terrestre, C4ISR, Sécurité

    The real obstacle for reforming military spending isn’t in the defence ministry. It’s the Treasury Board

    KEN HANSEN Ken Hansen is an independent defence and security analyst and owner of Hansen Maritime Horizons. Retired from the Royal Canadian Navy in 2009 in the rank of commander, he is also a contributor to the security affairs committee for the Royal United Services Institute of Nova Scotia. For people inside the Department of National Defence, a minority Parliament – coupled with election promises for increased social spending and tax cuts – represents an uneasy calculus. Defence spending is always on the chopping block because it represents the largest pool of discretionary spending in the federal budget, and every party spent the recent federal election campaign being vague about military policy – offering some kind of oversight-body reform or scrutiny over the billions of dollars that have been earmarked, even as they lent their support to ensuring the military has the equipment it needs. In particular, the single largest program in Canadian defence history – the Canadian Combat Ship plan for 15 warships – will be a tantalizing target for politicians looking to get rid of perceived fat. Such cuts to shipbuilding programs have even already become normalized: The order for Halifax-class frigates were trimmed to 12 from 18 in 1983 and the Iroquois-class destroyers to four from six in 1964, to name just two. The political leaders weren't wrong when they said the military procurement system is broken. But regardless of which party had won this past election, and no matter what tweaks at the edges that the Liberal minority government and its potential supporters pursue, the reality is that the core issue remains unaddressed: Treasury Board's bulk approach to purchasing the country's military kit. Treasury Board policy states that bulk buys are how military procurement should be done, to ensure the lowest per-unit cost. But this forces tough decisions about what to buy, since the larger the order, the longer it will take to produce them all – not to mention the problems involved with trying to predict the future of warfare. Information systems become outdated in five years; weapons and sensors in 10. With a planned operating life of 25 years, any ships ordered today will be out-of-date by the time the first are delivered, and fully obsolete by the time the last one arrives. Block purchasing leads to block obsolescence. Traditionally, when technological change threatens to render military systems obsolete, the best way to hedge was to order in batches of the smallest number acceptable. In the years before the world wars, for instance, countries working to build competent naval forces put less emphasis on fleet numbers and more on technology and industrial capacity until the last moments before conflict. Technological competence was as important as numbers for fleet commanders. Another outcome of bulk buys is that the volume means that they happen only every two to three decades (or longer, in the worst cases). With such lengthy dry spells between purchases, it is impossible to retain corporate knowledge in either the defence or civilian branches of government. More frequent purchasing keeps the process alive in both practice and concept, with lessons learned that can be implemented by the same people who made the mistakes in the first place. Such irregularly timed purchases have created desperation among defence planners whose vision of the future consists of short golden days of competence and pride, followed by long years of rust-out and irrelevance. Unwittingly, the dark decades were in large part of the military's own making because of its desperate desire to acquire the absolute best model available – a practice known as “gold-plating” – instead of working steadily to build capacity and skill that would address long-range fleet needs. This is a collision of interests. The Treasury Board looks only at capital-acquisition decisions from the perspective of the buyer. It's left to the military to worry about how long they may have to operate obsolescent or obsolete equipment and systems, and to do the necessary mid-life upgrading, which is partly why costs balloon spectacularly. Life-cycle cost data is actually far more important that the initial sticker shock of the newest and shiniest model advocated by the military's leadership. The mindset needs to change. Politicians who implement bureaucratic change will probably see some improvements in decision-making. But the biggest obstacle to defence procurement is that bulk purchasing is our lone approach, and that it happens only every few decades. Regular, planned capital acquisition is the best path forward, but all paths to the future must first run through the Treasury Board. No amount of political policy adjustment can change that. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-real-obstacle-for-reforming-military-spending-isnt-in-the-defence/

    2 février 2018 | Information, Terrestre

    Approvisionnement en matière de défense - Terre

    La Direction des grands projets – Terre est responsable des acquisitions relatives à plusieurs projets du ministère de la Défense nationale, y compris le projet de système de véhicule de soutien moyen et le projet de véhicule blindé tactique de patrouille. Système de véhicule de soutien moyen Modernisation des véhicules logistiques Véhicule blindé tactique de patrouille Système de véhicule de soutien moyen Pierre angulaire de la transformation de l'Armée, le projet de système de véhicule de soutien moyen vise à remplacer les véhicules logistiques moyens à roues existants du ministère de la Défense nationale par les deux nouveaux types de véhicules suivants : jusqu'à 1 500 camions de modèle militaire normalisé pour les unités opérationnelles et le soutien logistique pour la durée utile prévue du véhicule d'environ 20 ans; 1 300 camions militarisés en vente sur le marché pour l'instruction de la Réserve canadienne. Le projet vise aussi à acquérir un maximum de 300 remorques, un maximum de 150 boucliers blindés de protection et un maximum de 1 000 abris de véhicules spécialement équipés (VSE) et les ensembles connexes. Les ensembles consistent en espaces de travail, tels que des unités médicales ou des postes de commandement, conçus spécialement pour les abris des VSE. Une fois installés sur un camion, ils transforment ce dernier en une unité spécialisée, comme une clinique dentaire ou une installation de réparation d'équipement. Modernisation des véhicules logistiques Le projet de modernisation des véhicules logistiques vise à acquérir des véhicules logistiques légers modernes. Les produits livrables du projet peuvent inclure, mais sans s'y limiter, de nouveaux véhicules, des remorques, des plateaux déposables, des modules spécialisés à montage sur véhicule, des conteneurs spéciaux et des systèmes de manutention des marchandises en vrac. Le projet remplace deux parcs de véhicules, les véhicules logistiques lourds à roues et les véhicules logistiques de soutien à roues, ainsi que deux parcs de véhicules moins importants, les véhicules lourds de soutien du génie, générations 1 et 2. Ces camions seront utilisés pour transporter des cargaisons légères et lourdes ayant diverses configurations de véhicules et divers rôles pour l'instruction et les opérations au pays et expéditionnaires. Ces parcs de véhicules logistiques légers et lourds doivent être remplacés en raison de leur 'ge et de leur capacité défaillante. Véhicule blindé tactique de patrouille Le 7 juin 2012, le gouvernement du Canada a octroyé à Textron Systems Canada Inc. (TSCI) des contrats d'acquisition pour 500 véhicules blindés tactique de patrouille (VBTP) et leur soutien logistique pour un maximum de 25 années. TSCI les a obtenus après un processus d'approvisionnement qui a inclus une étape de demande d'expression d'intérêt et de qualification ainsi qu'un processus de demande de propositions dans le cadre duquel quatre fournisseurs ont présenté des propositions. La politique du gouvernement du Canada concernant les retombées industrielles et régionales était un critère obligatoire dans le processus d'approvisionnement, et TSCI doit procurer des retombées économiques au Canada de la même valeur que celle des contrats, dans le but d'assurer un investissement égal dans l'économie canadienne. Le VBTP est un véhicule de combat à roues qui doit remplir un grand nombre de rôles différents, y compris mais sans s'y limiter, la reconnaissance et la surveillance, la sécurité, le commandement et le contrôle, le transport de marchandises et le transport de personnel armé. Il doit posséder un niveau élevé de mobilité tactique et fournir un degré très élevé de capacité de survie à son équipage. Les premières livraisons de véhicules sont prévues pour 2014. Véhicules blindés La Direction des projets des véhicules blindés a la responsabilité de l'acquisition, de l'intégration et du soutien en service des véhicules blindés à roues et à chenilles. La Direction a aussi la responsabilité de la gestion des achats pour les projets ci-dessous faisant partie du programme de la famille de véhicules de combat terrestre (FVCT), qui a pour but d'améliorer ou de remplacer le parc actuel de véhicules de combat terrestre. Les projets du programme FVCT qui sont sous la responsabilité de la Direction sont le projet de modernisation du véhicule blindé léger (VBL III) et le projet d'amélioration de la mobilité de la force (AMF). Véhicules de la famille du Léopard 2 Soutien aux véhicules blindés légers à roues Bureau de gestion de projet des véhicules blindés légers et de modernisation du véhicule blindé léger III Projet de modernisation du système de surveillance du véhicule blindé léger de reconnaissance Véhicules de la famille du Léopard 2 Les projets des véhicules de la famille du Léopard 2 comprennent le projet de remplacement des chars et le projet d'amélioration de la mobilité de la force. Le projet de remplacement des chars a été établi en 2007 et se divise en deux volets : location de chars Léopard 2 A6M prêts au combat de l'Allemagne, afin d'offrir le soutien aux opérations en Afghanistan, et achat de 100 chars de combat principaux modernes Léopard 2 en excédent des Pays-Bas, afin de répondre aux besoins opérationnels et d'entraînement du ministère de la Défense nationale. La valeur totale du projet est estimée à 650 millions de dollars. La livraison des véhicules d'entraînement Léopard 2 A4 a été complétée en octobre 2014. Le projet prévoit aussi l'acquisition de véhicules blindés de dépannage (VBD) basés sur le Léopard 2, afin d'offrir un soutien aux parcs de chars de combat principaux Léopard 2. La livraison du dernier VBD est prévue pour décembre 2015. Le projet d'amélioration de la mobilité de la force a été établi en 2009 afin d'acquérir des engins blindés du génie basés sur le Léopard 2 pour offrir du soutien aux parcs de chars de combat principaux Léopard 2, et pour acquérir et intégrer de l'équipement pour les différents parcs de Léopard 2, comme des rouleaux de déminage, des charrues de déminage et des lames de buteur. La valeur totale du projet est estimée à 376 millions de dollars. La première livraison de véhicules est prévue pour novembre 2015. Soutien aux véhicules blindés légers à roues A la responsabilité du soutien en service des parcs de véhicules blindés légers à roues (VBLR) : 651 VBL, 203 Coyote, 199 Bison et 75 RG-31. Le soutien en service comprend l'acquisition de pièces de rechange, la réparation et la révision, la gestion du programme, la gestion du parc et les services de soutien technique. Le contrat de soutien optimisé des systèmes d'armes (SOSA) pour les VBLR constitue l'instrument d'acquisition principal et couvre la plus grande partie du soutien nécessaire. Une partie importante du SOSA pour les VBLR est donnée en sous-traitance. Des contrats gouvernementaux distincts existent pour répondre aux autres besoins associés à la protection blindée supplémentaire et aux armes spécialisées.
