  CS remporte le premier marché majeur de lutte anti-drone en France

  CS est retenu par la Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) pour la réalisation, pour l'ensemble des forces armées, des premiers systèmes de détection, d'identification et de neutralisation de drones illicites. Le Plessis Robinson, le 5 mars 2018 – Le ministère des Armées a notifié le marché MILAD (Moyens Mobiles de Lutte Anti-Drones) au groupe CS à l'issue d'une compétition. Ce système aux performances confidentielles est destiné à améliorer la protection de sites sensibles et a pour objectif d'équiper, dans un délai très court, les forces armées de systèmes mobiles assurant la détection, l'identification et la neutralisation des drones. Ces moyens ont vocation à équiper les forces terrestres, aériennes et navales en métropole ou sur les thé'tres d'opérations. Dans ce cadre, CS a été retenu sur la base de sa performance économique, de son expérience et des performances de sa solution. « CS est honoré d'avoir été retenu pour ce projet d'envergure. C'est la consécration des efforts d'innovation continus du groupe dans ce domaine depuis deux ans, avec l'industrialisation de notre système BOREADES déjà opérationnel pour la sécurité d'événements nationaux. Nous avons l'ambition d'adapter en permanence notre système à l'évolution de la menace pour le valoriser tant en France qu'à l'international», déclare Khaled Draz, Directeur Général de CS Systèmes d'Information. A propos de CS CS est un acteur majeur de la conception, de l'intégration et de l'exploitation de systèmes critiques. CS est coté sur le marché Euronext Paris - Compartiment C - (Actions : Euroclear 7896 / ISIN FR 0007317813).

  Northrop Grumman touts Fire Scout UAS for shipborne ASW

  by Gareth Jennings Northrop Grumman is touting its MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned aircraft system (UAS) as a future ship-based anti-submarine warfare (ASW) platform, with a recent trial off the coast of California demonstrating the concept. Speaking to Janes on 4 February, Dan Redman, Fire Scout maritime mission expansion lead at Northrop Grumman, said that the MQ-8C currently serving with the US Navy (USN) would make for a ready-made ASW solution in both its lift capacity and endurance, as shown by an October 2020 trial using a surrogate manned Bell 407 helicopter off San Clemente Island. “The GIUK [Greenland, Iceland, and UK] Gap, Westpac [western Pacific], declining budgets, and ageing aircraft fleets have all been catalysts at Northrop Grumman to put our heads together to see what more missions our two navy unmanned platforms could accomplish,” Redman said. “With the [MH-60R and P-8A Poseidon] manned counterparts to the Fire Scout and Triton both doing ASW, it made sense.” Redman explained that for some years Northrop Grumman has been working alongside UK company Ultra in developing an ASW capability for the Fire Scout, culminating in the demonstration. “Ultra makes about 90% of all the sonobuoys used in the West. They make the G-sized sonobuoy, which is about half the size of the A sonobuoy [as carried by the Poseidon maritime multimission aircraft] and a miniaturised sonobuoy receiver,” Redman said. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/northrop-grumman-touts-fire-scout-uas-for-shipborne-asw

  Patria reached a new milestone in the capabilities of Heavy Unmanned Ground Vehicles

  July 7, 2020 - The development of Patria's Heavy Unmanned Ground Vehicles has reached a level where the Patria AMV 8x8 vehicle can be operated remotely beyond visual line of sight utilizing 5G and 4G networks. This enables vehicles operation even from longer distances with higher reliability. The demonstration of remote-controlled Patria AMV 8x8 vehicle under 5G network was made in cooperation with the University of Tampere, and it was part of the RemoteFeel project. RemoteFeel is a research project founded by Business Finland, FIMA ry (Forum for Intelligent Machines) and the research parties. Members of the program were given the opportunity to drive a Patria AMV 8x8 vehicle remotely. The demonstration utilized Patria's Remote Operating Desk (ROD), state-of-the-art user interface containing features, such as augmented reality and haptic feedbacks enabling more authentic remote-driving operations, and the combined stereo camera system developed by the University of Tampere. Patria has developed its Heavy Unmanned Ground Vehicle system continuously for several years now and is a leading company in area of unmanned capabilities in its business segment. Patria demonstrated first time in public its Unmanned Heavy Ground Vehicle capabilities at European Land Robots Trial (ELROB) by two Patria AMV 8x8 vehicles in Belgium 2018. Patria´s unmanned solution can be integrated to new Patria AMVXP, Patria 6x6 vehicles and to all already delivered AMV 8x8´s without any major changes in the vehicle configuration.
