Paris Air Forum : la France est-elle prête à faire face à une guerre hybride ?

Le colonel Thierry Bauer, chef du pôle opérations du COMCYBER, le colonel Guillaume Bourdeloux, commandant des opérations spatiales de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, et le général Pascal Ianni, conseiller communication et porte-parole du chef d'Etat-major des armées, ont évoqué les nouveaux champs de conflictualité lors du Paris Air Forum, organisé par La Tribune mardi 7 juin. « Aujourd'hui, la guerre informationnelle est une donnée importante, sinon majeure, de tous les engagements opérationnels des armées françaises », explique le général Pascal Ianni. « L'hybridité est la combinaison de plusieurs modes d'actions dans le temps et dans l'espace. La particularité de la guerre hybride est qu'elle va mêler des modes d'action purement militaires à des modes d'actions politiques, diplomatiques, économiques, sociaux, culturels. Toute la difficulté dans l'hybridité est de parvenir à synchroniser et coordonner les effets produits dans le temps et dans l'espace pour atteindre l'objectif politique qui est fixé par l'autorité politique », indique-t-il. Le colonel Thierry Bauer appelle à « poursuivre l'effort » dans le domaine de la lutte informatique défensive comme offensive : « Nous travaillons à être en position de nous-même effectuer des attaques informatiques sur les systèmes adverses ». Le colonel Guillaume Bourdeloux souligne quant à lui « qu'on est dans une nouvelle ère spatiale ». « Il faut qu'on comprenne que maintenant la guerre dans l'Espace n'est pas un mythe et qu'elle a lieu quasiment au quotidien. Il faut vraiment qu'on opérationnalise ce milieu », estime-t-il. Ce qui rend ce milieu hybride, c'est son caractère dual, il est donc « difficile de distinguer une action civile qui pourrait être à portée militaire ».

    Indra strengthens the spanish air defence system

    Spain, May 27, 2020 - The Ministry of Defence has awarded Indra the tender for the IFF (identification, friend or foe) systems modernization for Lanza 3D radars used by the Aerial Surveillance Squadrons of the Spanish Air Force. With this upgrade, the systems will comply with the most recent NATO interoperability standards, which will soon be mandatory for military aircraft and ground systems. These are systems capable of interrogating an aircraft over 470 kilometers away to identify it and determine whether or not it is a threat. The Spanish Air Force will have the following interrogation capabilities throughout the national territory: Mode 5 (encrypted), Mode S and ADS-B. All these identification methods will be incorporated into the different air command and control centers that protect Spanish air space and Europe's southwestern flank within NATO. The new equipment supplied by Indra will be set up for security accreditation and will be resistant to cyber attacks. They will offer reinforced protection for the data exchanged with civil air traffic control entities. The contract has a duration of 3 and a half years, and comes with the associated logistic support in the Air Surveillance Squadrons (EVA, in Spanish) as well as in the Logistic Transmissions Center (CLOTRA, in Spanish). This ensures that the systems will be operational throughout their life cycle of at least 15 years. Indra is one of the leading companies worldwide in the development of IFF systems that it has implemented in ground stations as well as in platforms of all types. Indra is a leading company in radar development and one of the main suppliers for NATO. The company has won all the radar tenders awarded by the Alliance in the last five years and has delivered a total of more than 50 Lanza 3D radars to countries on all five continents. Its equipment has been extensively tested in all kinds of scenarios and environments. Indra is also experienced in the supply of complete air defence systems that protect the air space of several countries.

    General Dynamics wins nearly $700 million IT contract for U.S. Army Europe

    Andrew Eversden WASHINGTON — General Dynamics Information Technology was awarded a $695 million task order to provide IT services to U.S. Army Europe, the company announced Jan. 19. Under the five-year contract, GDIT will provide support services for USAREUR's enterprise IT, and communications and mission command support services to USAREUR's headquarters, NATO operations and other Department of Defense organizations and Regionally Aligned Forces in Europe. One goal of the contract is to expand theater communications and increase interoperability between the Army and its European allies. “GDIT looks forward to the opportunity to continue supporting the USAREUR G6 and its growing need for expanded theater communications and greater interoperability to enhance Army and Allied mission command systems” said Amy Gilliland, GDIT president. GDIT will provide cybersecurity services under the contract to “further optimize critical mission command networks and systems enabling USAREUR operations to advance its global mission,” the announcement said. The General Services Administration awarded the task order under the Enterprise Mission Information Technology Services contract in the fourth quarter of 2020, according to the GDIT announcement. The contract has a one-year base with four one-year options. In 2016, GDIT won a task order for USAREUR's G6 Theater Mission Command Contract, a predecessor to the Enterprise Mission Information Technology Services contract. https://www.c4isrnet.com/battlefield-tech/it-networks/2021/01/20/general-dynamics-wins-nearly-700-million-it-contract-for-us-army-europe
