Le Falcon ne fait plus les affaires de Dassault

Alors que Dassault Aviation profite à plein de ses contrats à l'export dans le militaire, il fait grise mine dans le civil.

Comme prévu, le groupe a livré 26 Rafale en 2019, contre 12 en 2018. Mais il n'a pas atteint son objectif dans le civil, avec seulement 40 avions d'affaires Falcon livrés, contre 41 en 2018, soit cinq appareils de moins qu'attendu. Seule consolation : avec également 40 Falcon commandés l'an dernier, Dassault parvient à stabiliser son carnet de commandes dans le civil (53 appareils). Entre un marché de l'aviation d'affaires chahuté et disputé et l'annulation du Falcon 5X en raison des difficultés rencontrées par Safran sur le moteur Silvercrest, le risque de pertes de parts de marché est bien réel. Mais l'avionneur peut se féliciter de son modèle dual : malgré sa décélération persistante dans le civil, son chiffre d'affaires en 2019 devrait être très supérieur à celui de 2018, à 5,1 milliards d'euros. En outre, Dassault pourrait dévoiler cette année un nouveau Falcon...

    New small arms course launches to prepare Army Reserve for combat, increase survivability

    By: Kyle Rempfer A new Army Reserve small arms trainer course that teaches gunnery and range operations to soldiers has been launched at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Still in its pilot program phase, the course is intended to field weapons subject matter experts at the unit level and increase weapons proficiency among the Reserve force, according to the 88th Readiness Division. The new course lasts 12 days and prepares troops to train their fellow reservists as well as develop year-round training calendars for their home units. The Army Reserve Small Arms Trainer Course focuses on six common weapons: the M2 .50 caliber machine gun, MK19 grenade launcher, M240B machine gun, M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, M4 carbine/M16 rifle and the Beretta M9. The effort is also part of Army Reserve Chief Lt. Gen. Charles Luckey's larger push to make his component a more combat-ready force through efforts like Task Force Cold Steel — a series of mounted and ground crew-served weapons qualification events. “This is about building the most capable combat-ready and lethal federal reserve force in the history of the United States,” Luckey said at a Cold Steel training event in February. “This is about building the capacity, the capability, the bench strength of America's Army Reserve to train itself.” At the new course, instructors will teach preliminary marksmanship instruction on each weapon and their optics, as well as teach maintenance for each system. The course will also teach soldiers how to operate weapons ranges and how to procure ammunition through classroom instruction, simulations training and live-fire qualification. “This course is a true train-the-trainers program,” Master Sgt. Howard Griffith, course manager, said in an Army news article. “We take select soldiers from around the entire Army Reserve and provide them with the knowledge and skills to return to their units and educate their fellow soldiers.” An increase in weapons proficiency correlates with an increase in survivability in combat, which ultimately helps win battles, the news article states. The pilot program was designed by instructors from the Army Reserve Competitive Marksmanship Program and will be taught by instructors from Task Force Cold Steel. The Army National Guard and the active-duty force have had similar weapons proficiency courses for many years, and the Reserve component's own version was overdue. If successful, the long-term desire is to keep the new trainer course permanently at Fort McCoy. The installation has state-of-the-art ranges available for year-round training and is conveniently located in the center of the United States, making it easily accessed by vehicle, rail or air, according to the Army.
