  La France souhaite donner un nouvel élan à ses coopérations industrielles de défense avec l’Allemagne

  La ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, est revenue sur le programme franco-allemand d'avion de patrouille maritime (Maritime Airborne Warfare System) à l'occasion d'une rencontre avec l'association des journalistes de défense (AJD) qui s'est tenue à Paris le 2 juillet. Le 23 juin, le Bundestag a voté en faveur de l'acquisition de cinq avions de patrouille maritime Boeing P-8A Poséidon pour un montant évalué à 1,77 milliard de dollars comprenant le soutien et les équipements associés. La ministre des Armées reconnaît ainsi une divergence d'opinion « sur le fait de satisfaire un besoin intermédiaire » de la part de l'Allemagne. Cependant, selon elle, « il est trop tôt pour dire ce qui va se passer (...) ; je mets toute mon énergie pour faire en sorte que les choses aboutissent ». S'agissant du drone MALE européen, Florence Parly se montre confiante : « nous avons calé les différents éléments du contrat. J'espère que ce contrat pourra être mis en vigueur dès que les derniers sujets de financement évoqués par certains de nos partenaires auront été définitivement résolus ». L'Usine Nouvelle, 5 juillet

  Future combat air continues to drive economic advance across the UK

  July 20, 2020 - The companies involved include Bombardier Belfast, Collins Aerospace in the UK, GE Aviation UK, GKN Aerospace, Martin-Baker, QinetiQ, and Thales UK. This is the first phase of organisations to sign such agreements, with more to be announced. The announcement represents a significant step forward by bringing additional expertise into the Team Tempest project. Team Tempest is a collaboration between BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, MBDA UK, Rolls-Royce and the UK Ministry of Defence, working together to develop game-changing technologies at pace and in an affordable manner. Dave Holmes, Manufacturing Director for BAE Systems' Air sector, said: “We are delighted to have signed the first phase of these new agreements, which are transforming our traditional relationships with partners. We are seeking opportunities to widen the Team Tempest project and bring in the very best of UK capability and expertise, from both inside and outside of defence. They will work alongside us as we seek to develop the generation-defining combat air capability which will help safeguard the security of our nation and our allies to the end of this century. “In addition, by developing the wider industry team, we will help contribute to the retention, growth and investment in a wider world-class UK skills base. Collaborations, with some of the brightest and best across the country, show that Tempest is becoming a truly national endeavour and we are delivering on our promise to take new approaches to drive significant pace and efficiency into the programme.” The companies will now seek opportunities to join forces on established projects and developments with the core Team Tempest partners, bringing the best of British expertise and ingenuity to optimally designing, manufacturing and operating combat air systems through life. Jeremy Quin, the UK Minister for Defence Procurement, said: “Today's announcement demonstrates further progress in delivering the UK's combat air strategy, with more companies collaborating on the future of the UK's Air Defence. This is a highly innovative project based around cutting-edge technology and drawing on a skills base where the UK excels. I am delighted that the success and strengths of Team Tempest are being enhanced through drawing on UK expertise; working with industrial partners and highly capable international team we are configured for future success.” Collectively, the companies will look to support more than 60 technology demonstration activities which are currently underway, which will demonstrate and de-risk world-leading processes and technology in half the time and at significantly lower cost than previous complex combat air programmes. Krisstie Kondrotis, President Defence GKN Aerospace said: “We are very proud to join forces with BAE Systems, key industry partners and the UK MOD to explore collaboration on the Team Tempest programme. This puts GKN Aerospace at the heart of the technology developments needed for the next generation of fighter jet and clearly shows our commitment to the defence market that is a key market for GKN Aerospace.“ View source version on GKN Aerospace: https://www.gknaerospace.com/en/newsroom/news-releases/2020/future-combat-air-continues-to-drive-economic-advance-across-the-uk/
