Les inquiétudes persistent sur la taxonomie européenne réservée au secteur de la défense

Le président du GIFAS Guillaume Faury s'inquiète des réticences du secteur bancaire à financer le secteur de la défense, appelant les pouvoirs publics français à exercer « une influence sur les critères de sélection des bons investissements (...) un message positif et une direction claire des autorités en général sur tout ce qui est ESG (Environnement, Social, Gouvernance) et taxonomie ». Bruxelles travaille sur la mise en place de nouveaux critères de label écologique de l'UE pour les produits financiers. Un projet de label dont seraient pour le moment exclues les industries de défense européennes. « Nous voulons nous assurer que la défense n'aura pas non seulement un traitement de défaveur, mais au contraire un traitement de faveur dans la capacité de financement » a insisté Guillaume Faury. Sous la pression d'éventuelles sanctions américaines et des ONG, les banques appliquent désormais des règles de conformité (compliance) strictes pour les entreprises de défense considérées comme des entreprises à risque pour un financement, de plus en plus difficile à trouver pour certaines ETI, PME et startups de la filière, dont certaines se voient même refuser d'ouvrir un compte bancaire. Un constat que faisait le président du Comité Défense du Conseil des Industries de Défense Françaises (CIDEF) et PDG de MBDA, Eric Béranger, au Paris Air Forum.

    US Navy awards contract to Serco for mass notification systems upgrade

    The US Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific has awarded a contract to Serco to perform upgrades to giant voice mass notification systems. The giant voice mass notification system is a voice announcing system used to provide warnings to communities living near naval installations in emergency situations. Under the contract, Serco will provide production and installation services for the systems located at different sites in the Western Pacific Region. The one-year task order is valued at around $8.3m. Work will include pre-installation testing and check-out, retrofit installation, inspection, pre-setup, optimisation, training, and systems operational verification testing. Serco chairman and CEO Dave Dacquino said: “Serco has a 20-plus year legacy of rapidly providing highly reliable support to meet the emerging requirements of the navy. “Serco is proud of the base modernisation services we are providing to help secure our bases, and detect and respond to threats.” NIWC Pacific awarded the task order under the $232m anti-terrorism/force protection (ATFP) naval electronic surveillance systems (NESS) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract secured by Serco earlier this year. Under the contract, the company will deliver technical services to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), programme executive offices, and other US Department of Defence (DoD) agencies. Services are also offered to the Department of Homeland Security, US Marine Corps, and other government programmes. Serco is specialised in building and maintaining command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems for various branches of the DoD. Specific services provided by the firm include lifecycle sustainment engineering, systems integration, hardware procurement, software development, and technical support. In addition, the company provides installation and testing, operations and maintenance solutions. In March, the company won a contract from the US Navy to provide technical and programmatic support at naval bases globally. https://www.naval-technology.com/news/us-navy-awards-contract-serco-mass-notification-systems-upgrade/
