    La Défense nationale effectuera des expériences de formation en environnement urbain au centre-ville de Montréal

    Le 4 septembre 2018 – Ottawa – Défense nationale/Forces armées canadiennes Du 10 au 21 septembre 2018, des scientifiques canadiens de la défense et des membres des Forces armées canadiennes effectueront une série d'expériences de recherche en technologie dans la ville de Montréal aux côtés de pays partenaires, soit l'Australie, les États-Unis, la Nouvelle-Zélande et le Royaume-Uni. Les activités de recherche comprendront la mise à l'essai et l'évaluation de nouvelles technologies dans divers environnements et paysages urbains. L'expérience en environnement urbain contesté (EUC 18) se déroulera dans les environs du Manège militaire Côte-des-Neiges, autour de belvédère Kondiaronk, le long de la rue de la Montagne et près du Silo no 5 dans le secteur du Vieux-Port. La plupart des activités se dérouleront au cours de la journée, et quelques périodes d'essai auront lieu pendant la nuit. Tout le personnel militaire participant à l'expérience EUC 18 ne sera pas armé. Cette expérience est réalisée dans le but d'appuyer l'avancement de la recherche sur la meilleure façon de mener des opérations militaires dans des environnements urbains. Des mesures sont prises afin de minimiser les inconvénients pour les personnes se trouvant dans le secteur. Le public est toutefois avisé que certaines zones peuvent être inaccessibles pendant la durée de l'expérience EUC 18. Les questions concernant les sujets locaux, comme les perturbations de la circulation, les fermetures de routes, etc., doivent être adressées à la ville de Montréal. Les questions du public concernant l'expérience peuvent être adressées à l'organisation responsable des sciences et de la technologie du ministère de la Défense nationale, Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada, par courriel à CUE18_EUC18@forces.gc.ca. Les questions des médias peuvent être adressées au Bureau de relations avec les médias du ministère de la Défense nationale par courriel à mlo-blm@forces.gc.ca.

    U.S. Army awards $339 million contract for M109A7 Self-Propelled Howitzers and M992A3 carrier, ammunition, tracked vehicles

    March 24, 2020 The U.S. Army has awarded BAE Systems a $339 million contract modification for the production of 48 vehicle sets of M109A7 Self-propelled Howitzer (SPH) and its companion, the M992A3 Carrier, Ammunition, Tracked (CAT) vehicle, and includes post-delivery support and spare parts. The M109A7 SPH and M992A3 CAT vehicle set is a vital program enhancement for increased combat capability and sustainment of the Army's Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs). The program offers enhanced indirect-fire artillery capabilities to the ABCTs with new technologies for power generation and survivability. The new M109A7 addresses long-term readiness and modernization needs of the M109 self-propelled howitzer family through a critical redesign and production plan that leverages today's most advanced technology. Its state-of-the-art “digital backbone” and power generation capability provides a more robust, survivable, and responsive indirect fire support capability for ABCT Soldiers. The M109A7 is a significant upgrade over the M109A6 as it enhances reliability, maintainability, performance, responsiveness, lethality, and crew survivability. The initial contract was awarded in 2017 for low-rate production. This most recent order brings the total number of M109A7 and M992A3 vehicle sets to 204, with a total contract value of $1.5 billion. The award follows the Army's decision, announced in February, to commence full-rate production of the vehicle.

    Update: US Air Force seeks information on maritime strike weapon

    by Pat Host The US Air Force (USAF) is conducting market research into kinetic weapons capable of engaging and defeating maritime surface vessels, according to a 24 July request for information (RFI) posted on the federal contracting website beta.sam.gov. No further details were available with the public version of the RFI, which had a version classified secret by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) armament systems development division. USAF spokesperson Ilka Cole said on 10 August that while the specific capabilities sought are classified, the service seeks information on any kinetic weapon capable of engaging and defeating maritime surface vessels. An expert believes that this RFI is the USAF's effort to capture weapons compatible with the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) that are not the Lockheed Martin AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) nor the Raytheon-Kongsberg Defense Systems Joint Strike Missile (JSM) air-launched anti-ship weapon being developed for the F-35. Bryan Clark, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute think tank in Washington, DC, told Janes on 31 July that the LRASM will probably not be compatible with the F-35 as the stakeholders have not been able to integrate it on to the aircraft for internal carriage due to the weapon's large size. Lockheed Martin spokesman Brett Ashworth said on 12 August that the company is investing in F-35 integration efforts for LRASM and the AGM-158B Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range (JASSM-ER). He said there is operator interest in both weapons and the company is working to ensure outstanding weapon stand-off and effects. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/update-us-air-force-seeks-information-on-maritime-strike-weapon
