    Au salon Eurosatory, l’Eurosatory Lab, un pôle pour encourager les ponts entre innovations civiles et militaires

    Au salon Eurosatory, qui s'est tenu au Parc des expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte du 13 jusqu'à ce vendredi 17 juin, les startups étaient fortement représentées. Hébergées au sein de l'Eurosatory Lab, le pôle du salon dédié à l'innovation, 67 startups françaises et internationales ont été accueillies, dont un grand nombre proposant des produits ou des technologies ayant un usage dual, à la fois civil et militaire : la cybersécurité, l'intelligence artificielle, la simulation, la robotique, la réalité virtuelle... L'Usine Nouvelle cite notamment Conscious Labs, une startup française spécialisée dans les neurotechnologies, qui propose des casques qui analysent l'activité cérébrale. Présente surtout dans le secteur médical, elle se propose d'utiliser sa technologie pour l'analyse de l'activité cérébrale des pilotes d'avions ou d'hélicoptères dans des situations de stress intense. Emmanuel Chiva, directeur de l'Agence de l'innovation de défense au sein du ministère français des Armées, entend favoriser les liens entre secteur civil et militaire : l'objectif est de « construire des ponts entre les innovations militaires et civiles », a-t-il affirmé à l'occasion de son discours d'ouverture de l'Eurosatory Lab. En 2022, les armées françaises devraient consacrer pour leurs crédits dédiés à l'innovation un montant de l'ordre d'1 Md€, indique L'Usine Nouvelle. L'Usine Nouvelle du 17 juin

    BAE, Vertex announce deal to maintain Harrier II fleet

    By Christen McCurdy Jan. 12 (UPI) -- BAE Systems and Vertex Aerospace announced Tuesday that they have signed a nine-year agreement to enhance availability of the U.S. Marine Corps' AV-8B Harrier II fleet. Vertex, which received a $123 million task order for maintenance of the fleet in July, chose BAE as its subcontractor for the logistics support contract. Under the contract, BAE and Vertex will "support the crucial training and combat operations conducted from U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, and forward operating bases," said an announcement from BAE. "The Harrier is one of the most iconic military aircraft ever created, with its British designed short take-off and vertical landing technology," Tom Fillingham, senior vice president of US Programs for BAE Systems Air, said in a press release. "Our expertise with the aircraft goes back 40 years and this new contract with Vertex Aerospace ensures we can continue to apply our expertise to support the U.S. Marine Corps in their crucial operations," Fillingham said. In May, Boeing was awarded two contracts worth $87.5 million to upgrade the U.S. Marines' T/AV-8B Harrier II trainer aircraft. The Harrier, meanwhile, is due to be phased out in 2025 while the Marines extend the life of Boeing F/A-18 Hornet strike fighters, per an aviation plan released in 2014. https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2021/01/12/BAE-Vertex-announce-deal-to-maintain-Harrier-II-fleet/6641610478105/

    New tropical boots coming by the end of 2019

    By: Shawn Snow The Corps' new tropical boots may be on the feet of some Marines by the end of 2019, according to Marine officials. The Corps awarded two contracts on Aug. 29 for up to 140,000 total pairs of two styles of tropical boots, according to Maj. Ken Kunze, a spokesman for Marine Corps Systems Command. Kunze said one contract was awarded to ADS Inc. for a maximum order of 70,000 pairs of the Rocky brand tropical boot. That contract award was valued at $11.1 million dollars, Kunze said. Another contract was awarded to Provengo LLC for 70,000 pairs of the Danner brand tropical boot, with a contract valued at $13.7 million, according to Kunze. Kunze said the initial order for the new tropical boots is being procured in September and they should start arriving in 60 days to 90 days. The boots have gone through rigorous training during the past several years. In 2017, Marines with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, evaluated three tropical boot prototypes from boot manufacturers Danner, Bates and Rocky while training in a jungle environment. The new boots will not be part of a Marine's general seabag issue. The boots are headed for the for the Consolidated Storage Program, and will be issued to Marines in predeployment training before heading to a hot or tropical climate, Manny Pacheco, a spokesman for Marine Corps Systems Command, previously told Marine Corps Times. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2019/09/05/new-tropical-boots-coming-by-the-end-of-2019
