UN GROUPEMENT INDUSTRIEL MENÉ PAR AIRBUS DÉCROCHE UN CONTRAT DE 150 MILLIONS AUPRÈS DE LA DGA

(AOF) - La Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) vient de confier à un groupement industriel mené par Airbus et composé de Naval Group et Rohde & Schwarz, le contrat RIFAN 2.1. Ce contrat a été signé pour une durée maximale de 8 ans et un montant maximum de 150 millions d'euros. Le contrat consiste à maintenir et adapter l'actuel Réseau IP de la Force Aéronavale étape 2 (RIFAN 2) aux besoins de la Marine nationale dans les années à venir, à y intégrer de nouveaux b'timents et à traiter les obsolescences des matériels et logiciels.

Il permettra ainsi d'intégrer dans le réseau RIFAN 2 les frégates de défense et d'intervention (FDI), futures frégates de premier rang de la Marine nationale, ainsi que les futurs pétroliers-ravitailleurs du programme BRF (b'timent ravitailleur de forces). Les adaptations du réseau porteront tant sur son architecture centrale que sur la mise à jour du système de surveillance et de détection des incidents de cyber-sécurité.

63 b'timents sont équipés du réseau RIFAN 2 : du porte-avions et frégates aux b'timents de soutien et patrouilleurs basés outre-mer, ainsi que des sous-marins. Le programme vise à doter la force navale française, d'un véritable réseau sécurisé à haut-débit. Il est conçu pour échanger entre les navires à la mer et les centres de commandement à terre, des données de différents niveaux de classification allant de " non protégé " jusqu'aux niveaux " secret ".

Le réseau permet de transmettre aussi bien les données issues des applications spécifiques à la conduite des opérations aéronavales que celles dédiées à la gestion quotidienne et logistique de la vie à bord, comme celles des systèmes d'information des états-majors de thé'tre embarqués pour la durée d'une opération.

RIFAN 2 comprend également une capacité de gestion globale du réseau et de surveillance des incidents de cyber-sécurité. Cette supervision s'exerce à la fois depuis un centre de gestion et de contrôle à terre, que localement à bord des navires, conférant ainsi une certaine autonomie aux équipages afin d'assurer le meilleur emploi du réseau en fonction de la situation opérationnelle.

Aéronautique - Défense

Le secteur aéronautique est soumis à une profonde mutation. A la recherche de relais de croissance et d'une amélioration de leur rentabilité, les acteurs ne se concentrent plus seulement sur leur cœur de métier (design et assemblage des avions) mais se tournent également vers les services. Ces derniers recouvrent aussi bien le service après-vente (maintenance et réparation des appareils) que la transformation d'avions de ligne en avions-cargos, ou la formation des équipages et des mécaniciens, l'aménagement des cabines et l'optimisation des appareils. Cette évolution amène les avionneurs à revoir complètement la conception de leur métier : ils ne livrent plus un produit mais un usage. Selon Boeing, le chiffre d'affaires des services à l'aviation commerciale pourrait ainsi dépasser celui des avions neufs pour atteindre 8.800 milliards de dollars d'ici à 2037.

    Le SIAé livre son premier exemplaire du Dassault ATL2 modernisé au standard 6

    Le Service industriel de l'aéronautique (SIAé) a convoyé son premier Dassault ATL2 modernisé de Dassault Aviation au standard 6, l'ATL2 numéro 9, vers la base de Lann-Bihoué, en Bretagne, à l'issue de son chantier de rénovation du système de combat. Commandé par la Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) en 2013, ce chantier de rénovation du système de combat porte sur 18 appareils dont onze ont été confiés au SIAé. Le SIAé devra donc livrer 11 ATL2 rénovés sur la période 2021-2024, couplés à des visites d'entretien périodiques. La réalisation des chantiers de rénovation fait également appel à Latécoère et à son sous-traitant AAA. Dassault Aviation s'est vu confier la modernisation des sept autres exemplaires et s'appuie sur Sabena technics pour l'accompagner en tant que sous-traitant sur ce chantier. Le standard 6 comprend notamment un nouveau radar à antenne active, un nouveau sous-système acoustique et de nouvelles consoles pour le sous-système de visualisation tactique développés par le SIAé.

  • Un rapport du Sénat appelle à sauver la BITD

    15 juillet 2020 | International, Aérospatial, Naval, Terrestre, C4ISR, Sécurité

    Un rapport du Sénat appelle à sauver la BITD

    Un rapport du Sénat appelle le gouvernement à maintenir un effort de défense substantiel sous peine de voir disparaître des pans de la base industrielle et technologique de défense, la BITD. Celle-ci « joue dans les cinq ans qui viennent sa survie », estiment les auteurs, deux sénateurs de la commission des affaires étrangères et de la défense, Pascal Allizard (Les Républicains) et Michel Boutant (PS). Le nouveau gouvernement devrait annoncer après l'été un plan de relance. « Il est fondamental que ce plan comporte un volet spécifique pour la BITD, soulignent Pascal Allizard et Michel Boutant. Les entreprises de la BITD qui disparaîtraient faute de relance ne seront pas remplacées ». La Tribune du 14 juillet 2020
