EAU : un partenaire capable

Actualité des forces  19 mars 2015  


Contrairement aux autres membres du Conseil de coopération du Golfe, et conscients de leur manque de profondeur straté­gi­que, les Emirats Arabes Unis (EAU) déploient depuis plusieurs années une stratégie de projection aérienne, qui n’est pas sans faire songer à la doctrine d’emploi du modèle français.

Conscient de son infériorité numé­rique, l’émirat a concentré ses efforts sur la mise en place d’une force aérienne multirôle dédiée aux frappes de précision en pro­fondeur, dont le niveau d’entraî­nement et de disponibilité est devenu au fil du temps une réfé­rence mondiale. Technophile, cette force s’appuie sur les F16 Block 60 et les Mirage 2000-9 souvent considérés avant l’avènement du Rafale comme les meilleurs chas­seurs pour les missions air-sol, en raison de leur supériorité en guerre électronique offensive.

Mais c’est le groupe européen MBDA, en livrant les mis­siles de croisière Black Shaheen sur les 2000-9, qui a permis de concré­tiser la stratégie émiratie, et ce malgré l’opposition du Congrès améri­cain. Cette stratégie de frap­pe en profondeur est, par ailleurs, servie par une capacité de ravitail­lement en vol, et de surveillance de l’espace aérien également four­nie par l’industrie européenne, que ce soit avec les trois A330 MRTT d’Airbus ou les deux SAAB 340 AEW.

Les EAU sont également autonomes au niveau de l’ISR, avec leur programme national de drones MALE armés Yabhon.

Enfin, cette stratégie aérienne du faible au fort est également au service des commandos des forces spéciales, puisque les Emirats disposent, comme la France, de Twin Otter 400, mais aussi de Cessna Grand Caravan équipés de missiles Hellfire.

Les frappes stratégiques entreprises cet automne contre Daech en Irak ont permis aux EAU de démontrer leur maturité opérationnelle, mais c’est l’opération aérienne menée quelques semaines plus tard conjointement avec l’Egypte en Libye contre les mêmes islamistes qui a démontré l’ambition politique régionale du pays.

Si la France est souvent présentée comme la dernière puissance européenne capable de mener des opérations extérieures, les EAU pourraient bien devenir la première puissance arabe dotée de cette capacité. Dès lors, on comprend mieux l’intérêt réaffirmé que les EAU portent au Rafale et aux solutions (drones ou missiles) qu’offre l’industrie française, notamment lorsqu’elles sont couplées à cet appareil.

La France espère bientôt vendre des Rafale aux Emirats arabes unis

Citation :

Après l’Egypte et l’Inde, bientôt les Emirats arabes unis ? Venu à Riyad rencontrer le nouveau roi d’Arabie saoudite, Laurent Fabius a profité de son passage dans la capitale pour évoquer avec le prince héritier d’Abou Dhabi, Mohammed Ben Zayed Ben Sultan, une possible commande d’avions Rafale par les Emirats arabes unis.
« Il y a un proverbe en France qui dit jamais deux sans trois. Je crois beaucoup en ce proverbe », a indiqué le ministre des affaires étrangères, visiblement ravi, à l’issue de sa rencontre avec le cheikh, qui s’est déroulée à bord d’un Boeing 777 émirati, posé sur le tarmac de l’aéroport de Riyad. « J’espère que nous pourrons avoir bientôt de bonnes nouvelles et nous y travaillons », a ajouté M. Fabius. « Cela se présente pas mal », a confirmé un proche des négociations, selon lequel les discussions pourraient s’accélérer dans les prochains mois.
Evoqué il y a déjà plusieurs années, le projet d’achat de 60 Rafale par les Emirats arabes unis semblait pourtant au point mort. La récente vente de 24 exemplaires de l’avion de chasse fabriqué par Dassault à l’Egypte, intervenue en février, et de 36 autres appareils à l’Inde, annoncée le 10 avril, pourrait avoir réactivé l’intérêt des émirats du Golfe, engagés dans une guerre avec le Yémen au sein d’une coalition sunnite et confrontés à une montée des menaces régionales.

 UAE Restarts Rafale Talks With France

Citation :

 The UAE is seen a potential buyer after Egypt sealed a deal for 24 Rafales and India announced a plan to order 36 off the assembly line in France.

"There are discussions going on with the Emirates, they are going in the right direction," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told journalists at the the Anglo-American Press Association on April 16.

France is pursuing an "economics diplomacy," he said. "The president, prime minister, defense minister and myself — we work very closely together." That approach was applied generally and to the Rafale specifically, he said.

Fabius said he met UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed al-Nahyan during a trip to Saudi Arabia on the weekend of April 11-12, confirming a report by daily Le Monde. "There is a French saying — all things come in threes," the French minister said, referring to the Rafale deals with Egypt and India, the report said.

Dassault Aviation Chairman Eric Trappier said on March 11 that the French company was back in talks with the UAE, but that these were not contract negotiations.

The UAE is in talks with the US to order 30 Block 61 Lockheed Martin F-16s, which would add to the 80-strong fleet of Block 60 fighters, Reuters has reported. Executives at the International Defence Exhibition in Abu Dhabi in February noted the UAE crown prince spent an hour behind closed doors at the Dassault stand on the opening day. The UAE had helped fund Egypt's purchase of the Rafale, but it was also likely that they spoke about the fighters for the gulf state's own Air Force, the executives said.

The UAE Air Force has focused on an upgrade of the systems and engine of the Rafale, including active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, frontal sector optronic and an electronic warfare suite, systems supplied by Thales, and a 9-ton-thrust M88 engine, uprated from the 7.5-ton engine that powers the French Air Force and Navy fighters.

French industry has said the 2011 Libya air campaign showed there was no need for a higher engine thrust on the Rafale.

The potential UAE version, dubbed M88-9, could deliver nine tons of thrust by "increasing the entering airflow from 65 kg/s to 72 kg/s and the compression rate from 24.5 to 27," according to News, the Rafale blog, which in 2011 ran a story from weekly magazine Air & Cosmos.

That would require the air intake to be enlarged, a costly "structural modification" that had been a stumbling block in talks with the UAE, the 2011 report said.

On Dec. 30, France launched a program worth some €1 billion (US $1.06 billion) to upgrade the Rafale F3 to the F3R standard by 2018. The new version will fire the MBDA Meteor long-range air-to-air missile, a laser version of the Sagem Armement Air Sol Modulaire powered smart bomb, and carry a Thales new-generation laser targeting pod, dubbed Talios, to succeed the present Damocles. The AESA RBE2 radar and Spectra electronic warfare system will also be improved.

Egypt will receive the F3R version, Trappier said.

Thales co-developed the Damocles pod under the name Shehab for the UAE Air Force's Mirage 2000-9.

The UAE had been putting pressure on France to fund a co-development of an upgraded targeting pod and considered buying the Lockheed Martin Sniper as an alternative, business daily Les Echos reported in November 2011. Abu Dhabi had agreed with then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy to consider the Rafale as a replacement to the fleet of Mirage 2000-9s bought in 1998.

Fabius said there are also discussions on the Rafale with Qatar.

"But sometimes these discussions are long, sometimes they speed up — which we saw in Egypt — sometimes they are brief," Fabius said.

"It depends on the overall situation, depends on the country's needs – the aircraft is the same but sometimes they ask for different specifications. There are discussions going on with Qatar and other countries," he said.

Qatar is now seen as slipping down on the list of prospective Rafale buyers after having been near the top, a parliamentary official said. Negotiations for an order of 24 fighters and an option for a further 12 was reported in February to be in the final stage.

Trappier declined to comment when asked about Qatar at the company's annual results press conference on March 11. The arms sales can be seen as reflecting a sharp and deadly shift in the region, with the fighting in Yemen being a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the parliamentary official said.

Iraq, Syria and Libya are nations in armed turmoil. Russia has canceled an embargo and will deliver the S-300, a sophisticated surface-to-air missile, to Iran. The US has warned that delivering the weapon may hurt the Western agreement to lift sanctions against Tehran.

In Europe last year, Dassault, Snecma and Thales opened the Rafale team's office in Brussels to bid in the Belgian tender for a replacement of the F-16, the 7 sur 7 news website reported.

The Rafale team will pitch the F3R model against the Lockheed Martin F-35, Boeing F/A-18 E/F, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Saab JAS-39 Gripen in the Belgian Defense - Air Combat Capability Successor Program, the report said.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) – Guided Bomb Units (GBU-31s and GBU-12s)

WASHINGTON, May 29, 2015 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for Guided Bomb Units (GBU-31s and GBU-12s) and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $130 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of the United Arab Emirates has requested a possible sale of 500 GBU-31B/B(V)1 (MK-84/BLU-117) bombs, 500 GBU-31B/B(V)3 (BLU-109) bombs, and 600 GBU-12 (MK-82/BLU-111) bombs, containers, fuzes, spare and repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor logistics and technical support services, and other related elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $130 million.

This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping a strategic partner which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.

The proposed sale will provide the UAE with additional precision guided munitions capability to meet the current threat represented by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, and Houthi aggression in Yemen. The UAE continues to provide host-nation support of vital U.S. forces stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base and plays a vital role in supporting U.S. regional interests. The UAE has proven to be a valued partner and an active participant in coalition operations. The UAE will have no difficulty absorbing these additional munitions into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of these munitions will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractors will be The Boeing Company in Chicago, Illinois; and Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this sale will not require any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives’ in the UAE. However, periodic travel will be required on a temporary basis for program reviews and technical support.

Seeker UAV crashes in Yemen

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
06 July 2015

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was shot down near the Saudi border in Yemen's northern Sadah province, the Al-Masirah news channel reported on 5 July.




It broadcast footage showing the wreckage of a UAV that appeared to be a Denel Dynamics Seeker 200 (previously known as the Seeker II). Like the Seeker family, the crashed UAV had a twin-boom configuration and fixed undercarriage. Its wings were also the same shape as those of the Seeker 200.




The camera focused at one point on a part made by the South African subsidiary of Carl Zeiss Optronics (which was renamed Cassidian Optronics in October 2012 and is now Airbus Defence & Space Optronics).

Goshawk-II is the electro-optical system listed for the UAV on the Denel Dynamics website. A laser radiation warning sticker was seen in the video, suggesting the crashed UAV was carrying the Goshawk-II HDT system with a laser designator/range finder.

Of the nine Arab countries contributing to the Saudi-led coalition that is currently bombing Yemen, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the only one known to operate the Seeker 200.

This was revealed by US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks, which said that in 2003 the UAE promised to deploy some of its newly acquired Seeker IIs to Afghanistan. While this deployment was cancelled in 2004 as the UAVs were needed for border patrols, an Emirati Seeker II was eventually deployed to Afghanistan in 2009.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, operates the comparable Selex ES Falco tactical surveillance UAV.
