Indra provides the Spanish Army with the most advanced helicopter simulator in Europe

October 25, 2019, Spain - Indra, one of the leading multinational technology and consulting companies, has delivered the most advanced helicopter flight simulator in Europe to the Spanish Army. It is the NH90 training system, which contributes to the training of pilots of the three army corps and has been installed at the Héroes del Revellín base in Agoncillo (La Rioja, Spain) as part of the Helicopter Simulation Center (CESIHEL) of the Aviation Academy of the Spanish Army (ACAVIET).

The official reception of the system took place this morning in an act chaired by the General Director of Armament and Material (DIGAM), Admiral Santiago Ramón González, in the presence of the Logistic Support Command Chief of the Spanish Army (JEMALE), Lieutenant General Ramón Pardo de Santayana, various Army commanders, and the General Director of Indra, Ignacio Mataix.

The NH90 simulator is Indra's new "crown jewel" in simulation. With its launch, the company strengthens its position in the global military simulation market that has grown steadily in recent years and in 2017 generated around 10.8 billion dollars.

Indra is positioned ahead of its competitors as a candidate to meet the training needs of the 13 countries and 18 users who have the NH90, both in Europe and the rest of the world.

The use of synthetic training systems is essential in preparing pilots of an aircraft equipped with the most complex systems, greatly reducing training times and increasing safety while lowering costs.

Indra's simulator recreates with maximum fidelity and realism all the missions in which a military pilot can participate. It has been specially designed for tactical training. On board, pilots can prepare for real operations before carrying them out in their deployments.

Remote virtual network training

This new system will be integrated into the Army's simulator network, allowing its pilots to carry out joint training missions with other helicopter simulators found in other army bases such as the CH-47D Chinook, the AS532 Cougar, the EC135 or the EC665 Tiger attack helicopter.

This means all the pilots will share the same scenario and can train together, regardless of being separated by hundreds of kilometers.

The new system represents a decisive commitment to innovation and development of proprietary technologies by the Spanish Ministry of Defense. It ensures top-quality training for pilots of this multipurpose helicopter, the most advanced of its kind in the world, as it is an aircraft designed to carry out missions ranging from tactical transportation and medical evacuation, to special operations, and naval, antisubmarine and electronic combat.

    Boeing to Build MH-47G Block II Chinooks for Special Ops

    PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 13, 2019 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] will build next-generation MH-47G Chinooks for the U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command. The Block II configuration will enhance the Army's ability to safely carry out the most challenging missions around the world. The $194 million contract is for a second lot of MH-47G Block II aircraft, to be delivered starting in 2021. Block II Chinooks feature technological advancements to extend the fleet's service life and enhance performance. “The MH-47G is the world's best, most reliable heavy-lift helicopter and will help Special Operations execute their difficult missions,” said Chuck Dabundo, vice president and MH-47 program manager. “Nearly a quarter of the Special Ops fleet is now on contract for Block II, and we look forward to delivering this capability to them on schedule.” The Army has a large number of MH-47G Chinook helicopters. Boeing is now on contract for a total of 15 MH-47G Block II Chinooks. The first MH-47G Block II aircraft is scheduled to begin final assembly this year. https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2019-06-13-Boeing-to-Build-MH-47G-Block-II-Chinooks-for-Special-Ops

    Dassault Aviation achève le déploiement de 3DExperience

    Par Léo Barnier Le groupe Dassault Aviation vient de passer une étape importante dans son processus de transformation numérique, en coopération avec Dassault Systèmes. L'avionneur français vient d'achever au mois de juillet le déploiement de la plateforme 3DExperience, développée par sa société « cousine », pour l'ensemble de ses programmes civils et militaires. C'est notamment le cas pour le futur Falcon qui doit être lancé prochainement. Toutes les équipes de Dassault Aviation vont ainsi évouler sous un même environnement numérique. Il s'agit ainsi de créer une continuité qui s'appliquera depuis la conception des nouveaux programmes jusqu'aux services de soutien après-vente. Chacun pourra ainsi travailler sur une maquette numérique unique, qui intègre les demandes spécifiques de chacun, avec des outils compatibles entre eux. Cela doit permettre par exemple au bureau d'études de prendre plus largement en compte les contraintes de l'ensemble du cycle de vie d'un produit ou d'un programme (production opérations, maintenance, rétrofit...) dès les premières esquisses, afin d'optimiser celui-ci dans la durée. A la clef, des gains de temps et de coûts pour le cycle de développement d'un avion - le nouveau Falcon notamment - comme pour la suite de sa vie opérationnelle. Comme l'explique David Ziegler, vice-président Industrie aéronautique et défense de Dassault Systèmes : « La plateforme 3DExperience représente une approche holistique de l'innovation. Elle permet à Dassault Aviation d'accéder à des technologies et à des capacités intégrées et de relier tous les points, du concept aux opérations... » Les différents services du constructeur disposeront d'outils entièrement intégrés dans cette plateforme unique, mais adaptés à leurs besoins spécifiques. Dassault Systèmes mentionne ainsi six solutions industrielles choisies par Dassault Aviation : Winning Concept, Program Excellence, Co-Design to Target, Ready for Rate, Build to Operate et Keep Them Operating. Dassault Aviation entend aussi déployer cette continuité vers sa chaîne d'approvisionnement avec trente sociétés identifiées, comme l'explique Jean Sass, directeur général Systèmes d'information de Dassault Aviation : « Tous nos partenaires industriels travailleront en collaboration avec leurs clients sur une seule et même plateforme numérique. À terme, nous serons en mesure de proposer à nos clients de nouvelles expériences de vol à la pointe de l'innovation. » Cette démarche de transformation numérique à l'aide de 3DExpérience a été entamée l'an dernier, en mai exactement. Dassault Aviation et Dassault Systèmes avaient alors signé un contrat pluriannuel pour remplacer l'ensemble des solutions de gestion du cycle de vie des produits (PLM) de l'avionneur. https://www.journal-aviation.com/actualites/42877-dassault-aviation-acheve-le-deploiement-de-3dexperience
