Safran Helicopter Engines et ZF Aviation Technology (Allemagne) renforcent leur partenariat en lançant le développement de l'Ardiden 3TP, turbopropulseur destiné à des applications militaires européennes, notamment pour des drones, des avions d'entraînement et de transport. L'Ardiden 3TP est un système de propulsion au design mature avec des coûts d'utilisation et de maintenance réduits. Ce moteur 100% européen sera basé sur le générateur de gaz de l'Ardiden 3 et intègrera des technologies éprouvées gr'ce à un démonstrateur technologique actuellement testé en France. ZF Aviation Technology fournira le système d'entraînement des accessoires et le réducteur de l'hélice. «Avec son architecture flexible et facile à intégrer, le turbopropulseur répond aux besoins du marché en termes de facilité d'utilisation et d'entretien», déclare Burkhard Siebert, Directeur de ZF Aviation Technology. «L'Ardiden 3TP est l'assurance de protéger les intérêts européens dans les programmes stratégiques militaires et de susciter des opportunités sur les marchés exports», souligne de son côté Florent Chauvancy, Directeur des Ventes Avionneurs chez Safran Helicopter Engines.

October 8, 2019 - The U.S. Army has awarded BAE Systems a contract modification worth up to $269 million for continued production of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV). The award for an additional 168 upgraded Bradley A4 Infantry Fighting Vehicles is part of the Army's combat vehicle modernization strategy and helps ensure force readiness of the Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT). The Bradley A4 is equipped with an enhanced powertrain that maximizes mobility and increases engine horsepower, providing rapid movement in reaction to combat or other adverse situations. Wide angle Driver's Vision Enhancer, improved Force XXI Battle Command Bridge and Below (FBCB2) software integration improves friendly and enemy vehicle identification, enhancing situational awareness. The addition of a High Speed Slip Ring, greater network connectivity and Smart Displays that simultaneously display classified and unclassified information also improve situational awareness. “The Bradley is one of the most critical vehicles in the Army's ABCT today because it allows the Army to transport troops to the fight, and provide covering fire to suppress enemy vehicles and troops,” said Scott Davis, vice president of combat vehicle programs for BAE Systems. “Upgrading to the A4 configuration provides soldiers with more power to increase their speed and ability to integrate enhanced technology to ensure they maintain the advantage on the battlefield.” Previously awarded funding for initial production of 164 Bradley A4 vehicles allowed BAE Systems to begin production. The award of this option brings the total production funding to $578 million. It includes upgrades and associated spares of two Bradley variants: the M2A4 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M7A4 Fire Support Team Vehicle. BAE Systems is a premiere supplier of combat vehicles to the U.S. military and international customers. The company has an extensive manufacturing network across the United States and continues to invest in it. Work on the program will take place at Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas, and BAE Systems' facilities in Aiken, South Carolina; Anniston, Alabama; Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Jose, California; Sterling Heights, Michigan; and York, Pennsylvania.
