PARIS, June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has signed a strategic agreement with AirMap, the leading global airspace intelligence platform for drones, to collaborate on future projects to safely integrate unmanned aerial systems, commonly referred to as drones, into the national airspace system and unlock the positive economic and social benefits of expanded commercial drone operations.
"AirMap is ushering in a new era in drone aviation," said Matt Gilligan, vice president of Raytheon's Intelligence, Information and Services business. "Drones must safely operate in an already complex ecosystem, which is where our experience matters."
The agreement combines the two companies' expertise:
"Raytheon technology has helped safely and effectively manage airspace in the most complex, dense controlled airspace in the world for decades," said Ben Marcus, AirMap Co-founder and Chairman. "They are an ideal partner to join AirMap on the path toward enabling safe, efficient, and scalable drone operations in U.S. low-altitude airspace between 0 and 400 feet."
The two companies are working toward an integrated demonstration that will showcase how AirMap's unmanned aircraft traffic management platform can increase air traffic controllers' awareness of potential conflict between drones and manned aircraft near airports to ensure overall safety of the airspace.

DÉFENSE Thales : focus sur le système Syracuse IV L'Usine Nouvelle consacre un article détaillé au nouveau contrat conclu par la DGA avec Thales, rendu public le 18 février, concernant Syracuse IV (SYstème de RAdioCommunication Utilisant un SatellitE), le réseau qui permet d'assurer l'ensemble des communications militaires entre la France et les unités déployées sur les thé'tres d'opérations 24h/24. Dans le cadre de ce contrat, d'un montant de 354 millions d'euros, Thales fournira les 200 antennes satellitaires qui équiperont les navires, les sous-marins et les véhicules blindés de l'armée française. La nouvelle technologie de transmission hautement sécurisée de Thales, baptisée « modem 21 », est au cœur du système Syracuse IV. Ce modem permet d'offrir des communications dix fois plus rapides par rapport à la génération précédente, et donnent la possibilité de réaliser des communications simultanément avec une centaine d'utilisateurs. Elles sont prévues pour résister au brouillage, aux tentatives de déchiffrement, et s'adaptent à la mobilité des militaires sur le terrain. « Les premières stations issues de ces contrats seront livrées à partir de la fin de l'année 2022 », a précisé la DGA dans son communiqué. Plusieurs sites de Thales bénéficieront des retombées liées à cette commande : Cholet (Maine-et-Loire), Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine) et Brive (Corrèze). « Cela va contribuer à sécuriser 800 emplois chez Thales et autant chez nos sous-traitants », précise Marc Darmon, directeur général adjoint en charge de l'activité des systèmes d'information et de communication sécurisés pour Thales.
