  Les métamatériaux, l’avenir de la défense ?

  Le forum innovation défense, qui se tient du 2 au 4 décembre, en format digital, est l'occasion d'évoquer les ruptures technologiques en cours, dont les métamatériaux. Ces matériaux artificiels conçus au niveau atomique permettraient de rendre les avions de combats et les navires plus discrets vis à vis des radars et sonars adverses. Plusieurs projets de développement sont en cours. Le missilier MBDA mène ainsi des travaux pour exploiter cette technologie afin que ses missiles échappent aux défenses ennemies. « Pour rendre les missiles furtifs, les matériaux sont l'approche principale. Il s'agit d'éviter que des parties du missile n'émettent trop de radiations qui pourraient être détectées », explique Denis Gardin, directeur de l'innovation et des technologies futures pour MBDA.
