  Les Armées détaillent la feuille de route du porte-avions de nouvelle génération (PANG)

  DÉFENSE Les Armées détaillent la feuille de route du porte-avions de nouvelle génération (PANG) La coque du futur porte-avions de nouvelle génération (PANG) sera construite et assemblée de 2031 à 2034, avant les essais en mer en 2036 et l'entrée en service en 2038. Il semblerait que la configuration avec deux catapultes électromagnétiques EMALS de General Atomics soit privilégiée par le ministère des Armées. En ce sens, d'ici la fin de la décennie, un Rafale Marine (Dassault Aviation) doit vérifier sa compatibilité avec cette EMALS (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System) et les brins d'arrêt américains. La valeur des équipements américains serait évaluée à 3 milliards de dollars (trois avions-radar Northrop Grumman E-2D, catapultes électromagnétiques de General Atomics, brins d'arrêt et aides à l'appontage). Se poserait donc la question des offsets. A l'occasion de l'achat des trois E-2C dans les années 90, l'entreprise Potez Aéronautique est devenue sous-traitante à part entière dans le programme.

  U.S. Army Awards BAE Systems $148.3 Million Contract for M88A2 HERCULES Armored Recovery Vehicles

  October 9, 2019 - BAE Systems has been awarded a $148.3 million contract by the U.S. Army to upgrade 43 M88A1 heavy-lift vehicles for added capability to evacuate damaged or stranded combat vehicles from the battlefield. This continues the upgrade of the M88A1 to the M88A2 Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lift System (HERCULES) configuration to increase power, maneuverability and survivability to reach the Army's acquisition objective of 933 M88A2 vehicles. This press release features multimedia.

(Photo: BAE Systems) “The HERCULES is an invaluable vehicle for the Army's recovery missions,” said Dennis Hancock, director of Recovery Programs at BAE Systems. “We are proud to support the Army's recovery needs and we will continue to work alongside the Army to provide upgraded solutions as their missions and requirements change.” The more capable M88A2 tows, hoists, and winches 70-ton tracked vehicles used by the Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). The M88A2 increases horsepower and upgraded armor protection including armored track skirts and applique armor panels. The M88A2 can maneuver more quickly and get a 70 ton stranded vehicle – and its crew – to safety. The execution of this contract will increase the total procured quantity of the M88A2 capability to 914. Work on the program will be performed at the BAE Systems' facilities in York, Pennsylvania; Aiken, South Carolina; Anniston, Alabama and Sterling Heights, Michigan. Deliveries are to begin in February of 2021. View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191009005137/en/
