Naval de défense: le salon Euronaval fête ses 50 ans dans un contexte porteur
Paris, 21 oct 2018 (AFP) -
Les acteurs du secteur naval de défense se réunissent à partir de mardi au Bourget pour le salon Euronaval, dans un contexte rendu porteur par les tensions internationales et la montée en puissance d'acteurs industriels soutenus par leurs Etats.
Euronaval, plus importante manifestation mondiale du secteur qui fête ses 50 ans cette année, sera aussi l'occasion de présenter un "Navire des métiers" pour tenter de répondre aux difficultés de la filière à recruter pour accompagner sa croissance.
Parmi les événements attendus lors du salon pourrait figurer une annonce autour du programme FlotLog de remplacement des ravitailleurs de la marine nationale.
Ce programme, qui porte sur quatre pétroliers ravitailleurs au total, représente un premier jalon dans le rapprochement engagé en septembre 2017 entre Naval Group et Fincantieri, qui devrait se traduire par la création d'une co-entreprise.
Ce rapprochement entre les champions français et italien a pour objectif de les renforcer face à la compétition internationale, notamment en provenance de Chine et de Russie. Symboliquement, ils auront pour la première fois leurs stands côte à côte.
Les Européens font "face à deux types de nouveaux acteurs", souligne le PDG de Naval Group, Hervé Guillou.
D'un côté, "les géants des Etats-puissance qui se construisent dans la lignée des programmes de ré-équipements de deux grands pays que sont la Chine et la Russie". Selon lui, "ceux-là jouent sur les volumes, un soutien étatique extrêmement puissant à l'export".
La deuxième catégorie est constituée de "nouveaux entrants plus commerciaux" en provenance de Corée du Sud, Singapour, Turquie, Ukraine.
Au total, l'industrie navale de défense représente 45 milliards d'euros de chiffre d'affaires dans le monde.
Les sous-marins constituent le tiers du carnet de commandes mondial en plateformes navales militaires, en raison d'une demande nouvelle de pays de régions en tension, notamment en Asie du Sud-Est, et du besoin de renouvellement de flottes anciennes (en Pologne, Norvège, aux Pays-Bas ou encore en Australie, où Naval Group a été sélectionné il y a deux ans pour le remplacement de la flotte de submersibles de la marine).
- Améliorer l'attractivité auprès des jeunes -
En termes d'innovation, le salon sera l'occasion de découvrir, outre la généralisation de l'usage de drones dans la marine, les nouvelles applications de l'Intelligence artificielle, notamment dans la lutte anti sous-marine.
"Dans le monde entier, l'accroissement des tensions géopolitiques passe notamment par le domaine maritime", explique Alexis Morel, directeur des activités de lutte anti sous-marine de Thales, leader mondial des sonars.
"Les grandes marines occidentales, la France, le Royaume-Uni, les Etats-Unis, sont de plus en plus sollicitées dans des opérations de lutte anti sous-marine", qui "est un sport où le second n'a pas de médaille. La rapidité d'exécution et la rapidité de l'alerte est essentielle", souligne-t-il.
Thales va notamment présenter un nouveau système acoustique intégré, baptisé BlueScan, basé sur l'analyse de grandes quantités de données ("big data") et l'intelligence artificielle. Il équipera les frégates de taille intermédiaire (FTI) de la Marine nationale.
Le salon, où se rendront mardi le président de la République Emmanuel Macron et la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, sera également l'occasion de séduire les jeunes alors que la filière recrute.
"Notre industrie doit améliorer son attractivité auprès des jeunes, mieux faire connaître nos 400 métiers et, souvent, changer leur image", estime Hervé Guillou. "C'est le but du Navire des Métiers."
En France, la filière représente 42.000 emplois directs et un chiffre d'affaires annuel de 9,5 milliards d'euros. Celui-ci devrait dépasser les 12 milliards en 2020.
Le rendez-vous, sur un format ramassé de quatre jours, sera précédé lundi par un colloque international, organisée en partenariat avec la Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS), autour des "grands sujets d'actualité et de prospective du naval de défense".
Euronaval attend cette année plus de 470 exposants (+15%), dont 278 étrangers de 34 pays.
En marge du salon Euronaval, la ministre des Armées a officialisé le lancement de la phase d’étude du renouvellement du bâtiment militaire.
La ministre des Armées Florence Parly a annoncé mardi le lancement du programme de futur porte-avions de la France, qui succédera au Charles-de-Gaulle, avec une phase d’études de 18 mois, lors du salon du secteur naval de défense Euronaval.
"Le Charles de Gaulle aura besoin d’un successeur (…) C’est pourquoi je suis fière, aujourd’hui, ici, au Bourget, lors de ce salon Euronaval, de lancer officiellement le programme de renouvellement de notre porte-avions", a déclaré Florence Parly. "Cette étape numéro un, qui se lance aujourd’hui, c’est la phase d’étude", a-t-elle précisé. Le montant du projet sera de 40 millions d’euros, précise une source gouvernementale.
Fin de la phase d’étude en 2020
La France dispose d’un unique porte-avions, le Charles-de-Gaulle, qui a vocation à terminer sa vie active autour de 2040. Il subit depuis début 2017 à Toulon une vaste rénovation longue de 18 mois, qui doit lui donner une seconde vie pour les 20 prochaines années. Le Charles-de-Gaulle reprendra ensuite la mer et doit se rendre dans l’océan Indien en 2019.
La phase d’étude, qui s’achèvera en 2020, doit permettre ensuite d’établir l’architecture du futur porte-avions et de poser les bases de l’organisation industrielle nécessaire pour le bâtir dans les délais et les coûts, a souligné Florence Parly.
Cette phase servira à examiner les menaces que le futur porte-avion devra affronter et les missions qu’il devra accomplir, mais aussi son dimensionnement et notamment sa capacité d’accueillir l’avion de combat du futur, le Scaf, lancé en coopération avec l’Allemagne en 2017.
Mode de propulsion et catapultes électromagnétiques
La période d’étude permettra aussi d’étudier le mode de propulsion, nucléaire ou classique, de ce porte-avion de nouvelle génération, et les nouvelles technologies qu’il sera capable d’accueillir, notamment les catapultes électromagnétiques, déjà utilisés par la marine américaine. Le Charles-de-Gaulle, à propulsion nucléaire, est doté de catapultes à vapeur pour les avions au décollage.
Enfin, la phase d’étude sera mise à profit pour déterminer les innovations à bord du futur porte-avions. "Faisons de ce porte-avions, une véritable base avancée de notre marine, aiguillon de notre innovation", a déclaré Mme Parly.
Ce porte-avions de nouvelle génération devrait rester en service jusqu’en 2080.

CNIM new LCX multi-missions landing craft appears at Euronaval 2018
Posted On Tuesday, 23 October 2018 14:25
Very fast, travelling at over 20 knots with a 65-tonne payload and over 35 knots with no cargo, the LCX – or Landing Craft Multi-Missions unveiled at Euronaval 2018 by CNIM is a dockable craft of Naval Forces specialising in the reconnaissance, preparation and execution of maritime and amphibious operations from a mothership.
CNIM LCX landing craft Euronaval 2018 002CNIM's new LCX showcased at Euronaval 2018
The LCX reflects an evolution in the approach to the use of Projection and Command Craft in the French Navy and the US Navy.
With extremely high degrees of seaworthiness and manoeuvrability and designed with a 360° wheelhouse and a built-in command post, the LCX can accommodate anti-submarine and mine warfare troop detachments for conducting or joining reconnaissance, identification and threat-neutralisation operations.
A versatile vessel, the LCX was also designed to take part in logistics operations conducted by Forces projection vessels such as the L-CAT and LCA. In this particular context, it also has the capability to offload nautical amphibious resources as it approaches the coastline.
The LCX is the latest major asset for Forces operating from a mothership. It therefore increases their intervention capability for countering growing regional threats in the subsea environment or during amphibious assaults.
CNIM’LCX has a length of 29.5m, a width of 6.4m and a draft when loaded of 1.3m. It has a deck area of about 80 m². Operated by a crew of 4, the LCX has a nominal load of 65 tons and is self-protected by two 20 mm remotely operated cannons.

Euronaval 2018: How MBDA's MMP missile enters the naval market
Posted On Monday, 22 October 2018 20:36
MBDA has unveiled its new naval offering based on the 5th generation MMP ground combat missile at Euronaval. This decision follows the operational evaluation campaign carried out at the end of the summer by the French armed forces in Djibouti to confirm the reliability and operational performance of the MMP system in a hot environment, both from the ground and also from a rigid hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) moving at high speed.
Euronaval 2018 How MBDA s MMP missile enters the naval market 001MBDA's MMP mounted on a Zodiac Hurricane RHIB
A total of nine MMP missiles were fired with all reaching their target. Two of these shots were fired by the maritime force of marines and commandos from a ECUME RHIB. A first firing from the sea-to-land and the second from sea-to-sea have demonstrated the ease of use of the MMP.
The success of this evaluation allows MBDA to extend the integration perspectives of the MMP system and to propose it on fast attack craft or semi-rigid boats for missions against hostile ships, coastal defenses or armored vehicles, especially in support of a landing of small units or Special Forces.
At Euronaval, the MMP system (firing post and missile) is presented on the Zodiac Milpro booth, installed on a Hurricane type RHIB. On fast patrol boats, the MMP will be fired from a stabilised turret carrying four ready-to-fire ammunitions installed in launchers protecting the missiles from the maritime environment. The turret can be controlled from a dedicated console or from a multifunction console in the ship's operations center.
Antoine Bouvier, CEO of MBDA, said: "Today’s launch of a family of naval systems based on the MMP missile is aligned with the trajectory we initiated with the French armies at the launch of the MMP program in 2011. By deciding at that time to introduce the most modern technologies of guidance and propulsion together with a multi-effect warhead, we laid the foundations of a family of weapons capable of meeting the most demanding constraints the armed forces may encounter in the field, in terms of tactical effects, in terms of mobility, as well as in environmental terms. The MMP family sees today the advent of naval versions. I have no doubt that the MMP will give birth to other more powerful versions in the near future.

Euronaval 2018: Saab adds Hypersonic Detection Mode to Sea Giraffe Radar
Posted On Tuesday, 23 October 2018 14:41
Saab strengthens its Sea Giraffe naval radar offer by introducing the Hypersonic Detection Mode, a capability for detecting and tracking targets travelling at hypersonic speeds, the Swedish defense group announced at Euronaval 2018.

Due to the radar horizon, naval vessels face limited time to act against low flying missiles travelling at greater speeds. With the emergence of threats in the high supersonic and even hypersonic speed ranges, this threat is getting even worse. Saab is offering a solution to this emerging challenge by introducing a Hypersonic Detection Mode (HDM). It will give the ship more time to act against any target due to quick track formation time. The HDM capability builds on Saab’s next generation track while scan technology, which enables track start within a fraction of a second for any number of targets, including stealthy ones, in all conditions.
“The hypersonic threat is credible and increasing. Navies around the world are asking for a capability to retain their dominant battlespace awareness and to give them crucial time to act. We are able to meet these requirements by using our existing technology, adapting it for the hypersonic challenge”, says Anders Carp, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
The HDM is optimised for the Sea Giraffe 4A Fixed Face, which is a fixed array configuration that belongs to Saab’s multi-functional family of S-band AESA radar systems.
The Sea Giraffe 4A combines long range air surveillance with full horizon coverage on surface targets. The flexibility in the Sea Giraffe 4A waveforms also provides the track accuracy and update rate required for an advanced medium to long range Air Defence Solution. The radar is technically designed for easy upgrading to meet future threats and mission objectives. The high degree of performance in a small footprint radar makes the Sea Giraffe 4A suitable for frigates as well as large corvettes.

Avec le SMX-31, Naval Group présente un concept révolutionnaire de sous-marin
Posté dans Forces navales, Technologie par Laurent Lagneau Le 23-10-2018
Comme à chaque édition du salon Euronaval, le constructeur français Naval Group présente un nouveau concept de sous-marin. En général, cette démarche ne vise pas à répondre à un besoin opérationnel exprimé par les états-majors mais plutôt à démontrer ce qu’il est possible de faire sur le plan technologique tout en anticipant ce que pourrait être les opérations navales futures.
Cependant, il est arrivé qu’un tel concept de sous-marin puisse donner lieu à une réalisation. Tel est le cas, par exemple, du SMX Ocean, une version à propulsion classique du sous-marin nucléaire d’attaque Barracuda qui, présentée en 2014, a été choisie par la marine australienne.
En 2016, Naval Group avait dévoilé le SMX 3.0, un projet de sous-marin adapté à la « génération Z », c’est à dire qui a grandi en même temps que l’essor des technologies numériques. L’idée était d’intégrer des « systèmes informatiques complètement interconnectés, robustes, sûrs, rapides et évolutifs ». Et, contrairement à des projets antérieurs, ce concept ne présentait pas de changements structurels majeurs avec les submersibles actuels.
Pour l’édition 2018 d’Euronaval, les bureaux d’études de Naval Group ont de nouveau fait preuve d’audace avec le SMX-31, dont l’aspect n’a rien à voir avec les sous-marins actuels, ni même avec les concepts présentés précédemment par le constructeur français, comme le SMX-25 (dévoilé en 2010).
En réalité, ce SMX-31 semble être le fruit d’une évolution du SMX-26 « Caïman », qui, présenté en 2012, présentait la particularité de ne pas avoir de « kiosque ». Cette idée a non seulement été reprise mais aussi améliorée pour ce nouveau concept de sous-marin.
Considérant que, à l’avenir, il sera toujours plus difficile pour les submersibles de passer inaperçus en raison de la multiplication des moyens de surveillance sous-marins (drones, capteurs, observation satellite, etc), les ingénieurs de Naval Group ont donc imaginé un navire totalement dépourvu de kiosque (ce qui réduit sa signature acoustique), doté de deux propulseurs latéraux en lieu et place de l’hélice traditionnelle.
Comme l’explique le site Mer & Marine, qui a eu la primeur des explications données par Naval Group au sujet de ce concept, le SMX-31 ressemble à un cachalot, qui a une « forme hydrodynamique presque parfaite. » D’où ses lignes très fluides, grâce à une nouvelle approche architecturale, qui lui donne plus de robustesse, en plus de la capacité de se poser plus facilement sur les fonds marins. Cela offre plusieurs avantages, à commencer par celui de se cacher ou encore celui de rester sur une zone pendant longtemps afin d’y collecter du renseignement grâce, souligne l’industriel, à ses « puissants capteurs acoustiques, optroniques et électromagnétiques. »
Ce que le SMX-31 perd en hauteur, il le gagne en partie en largeur, son envergure étant de 13 mètres pour une longueur de 70 mètres et un déplacement de 3.000 tonnes. Son revêtement, crucial pour la discrétion, est sous forme d’écailles qui, faites dans un matériau spécial, intègrent des capteurs.
Ce sous-marins sera par ailleurs en mesure de mettre en oeuvre des robots et des drones pour la collecte de renseignements. Par rapport aux sous-marins actuels, il serait ainsi capable de surveiller une surface dix fois plus étendues.
S’agissant de la propulsion, le SMX-31 utilise des piles à combustible et des batteries reposant sur la technologie lithium-ion. La capacité de ces dernière serait six fois supérieure à celle que l’on trouve sur le marché actuellement. De quoi lui donner la capacité de rester 40 jours en immersion, en naviguant à la vitesse de 6 noeuds.
Côté armement, le SMX-31 fait très fort puisqu’il pourrait embarquer jusqu’à 46 armes, dont des missiles de croisière et anti-navires, des torpilles lourdes ainsi que des mines. À noter qu’il serait aussi en mesure d’embarquer une quinzaine de commandos pour les opérations spéciales.
Enfin, son équipage sera réduit au minimum : grâce à l’intelligence artificielle, seulement 15 sous-mariniers seraient nécessaires pour le mettre en oeuvre…

France unveils model of the New Generation Fighter
Oct 23, 2018
Photo by F. DOSREIS
The well-known French company Dassault used this year’s Euronaval 2018 exhibition to display a model of the New Generation Fighter (NGF) that will eventually replace the current generation of Dassault’s Rafales and Germany’s Eurofighter Typhoons aircraft by around 2035-2040.
The Dassault ‘s next-generation aircraft has no tail fin and a swept W-shaped wing design and incorporates highly advanced stealth technologies and integration with information systems. The new aircraft will have tricycle-type landing gear for runway take-off and landing.
The air vehicle is expected will be adapt to contemporary air threats and exploiting the potential of artificial intelligence.
It is likely that the new fighter jet project is developing as part of Europe’s Future Air Combat System (FCAS) and will eventually replace the current generation of Eurofighter and Rafale fighter aircraft by around 2035-2040.
According to a news release put out in April 2018, Germany and France have agreed on the central requirements for a new fighter jet to replace Eurofighter Typhoon and Rafale warplanes beginning in 2040.
The CEO of Dassault Aviation, Eric Trappier early said the Airbus and Dassault decided to team up to ensure that Europe retains control over its future weapons systems.
Airbus and Dassault said it was important for France and Germany to launch an initial joint study this year so they could get demonstrators of the technology done for 2025.
Trappier said the fighter jet would not be a copy of the U.S. F-35 fighter, but would be more ambitious.

La DGA à commandé la rénovation de six ATL2, portant la commande totale à 18 appareils comme le prévoyait la LPM.
La ministre des armées Florence Parly a annoncé la commande de six ATL2 rénovés. Ils s’ajoutent ainsi aux douze modernisations déjà commandés. Au total ce sont donc 18 ATL2 qui seront modernisés avant 2025. Le passage de 15 à 18 rénovations avait été annoncé dans la loi de programmation militaire 2019-2025.
La rénovation de l’ATL2 a été confiée à Dassault Aviation et Thales avec la participation de Naval Group et du Service industriel de l’aéronautique (SIAé). Il s’agit d’une modernisation importante de ces appareils de patrouille maritime. Elle comprend l’integration du radar Searchmaster, d’une boule optronique Wescam MX20 et ainsi qu’une refonte du système de mission.
Un premier ATL2 est en cours de modification et devrait être livré à la Marine en 2019. Une première capacité opérationnelle pourrait intervenir en 2020. La mise en service définitive de l'ATL2 rénové doit être prononcée en 2021 lorsque la Marine aura réceptionné trois appareils.

It handles short- and long-range day/night surveillance and identification operations, even in difficult sea conditions with low visibility.
Alongside electro-optical director (EOD) fire control systems, Safran Electronics & Defense also offers infrared search and track (IRST) systems. Thanks to their highly-sensitive cooled infrared cameras, operating in the 3 µm to 5 µm Mid-Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) range (suitable for maritime environments), as well as their image processing power and Safran’s unique algorithms, these discreet, passive monitoring systems are able to detect conventional and asymmetric airborne and surface threats, with threat recognition capabilities exceeding those of radar systems. They cover the low-altitude segment, and can even detect threats when a ship is running in radar silence mode.
The PASEO XLR features a stabilized turret from the DALAS NG (deck-landing aid device for the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier), developed from 2014 to 2017 for Naval Group and French defense procurement agency DGA, and featuring cameras with very high magnification. It also includes an HDTV (high-definition TV) channel, including a powerful telescope (spotter) and a very-long-range Satis XLR infrared imager, as well as an eyesafe laser rangefinder. A SWIR (shortwave infrared) channel is offered on option, to enhance performance under foggy conditions.
All of the systems developed by Safran are designed for seamless integration, and can be operated from dedicated autonomous consoles, or connected to ships’ combat systems. The modular design ensures easy maintenance, even at sea, guaranteeing the availability required for surface operations. Safran’s products are designed to protect ships from both conventional and asymmetrical threats.

The new light naval gun system SeaSnake has made its first appearance at the Euronaval exhibition in Paris.
Succeeding Rheinmetall's MLG 27 system, the new system is designed as a primary armament for small craft or a secondary armament for larger ships.
While the 27 mm Mauser BK27 cannon was again chosen because of its high accuracy and rate of fire, the rest of the mount is new.
"We have updated the system to be state-of-the-art," a company representative told Jane's . This includes new internals, new electronics, the option to mount an independently controlled stabilised electro-optical/infrared sensor package, and reduced radar cross-section (RCS).
The weight has also been reduced by using carbon fibre construction, according to Rheinmetall. Compared with an MLG 27 system fully loaded with 90 rounds, the SeaSnake 27 variant, with 225 rounds of ammunition, will weigh less than 600 kg; the SeaSnake 30 with 135 rounds will weigh about 620 kg.
The SeaSnake 30 mount is fitted with a 30 mm KCE30/ABM cannon, offering greater range as well as the ability to use programmable airburst ammunition.

Euronaval 2018: High Eye from Netherlands displays maritime version of its HEF 32 unmanned helicopter
Posted On Friday, 26 October 2018 12:19
At Euronaval 2018, the International Maritime and Naval Defense Exhibition in Paris (France), Netherlands-based Company High Eye displays maritime version of its HEF 32, a long range unmanned helicopter with a two-blade single rotor. High Eye successfully completed test flights on seagoing vessels in April 2018.

The HEF 32, a VTOL (vertical take-off and land) RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) with an endurance of 4+ hours with a payload of 2 kg (max 5 kg) made between 40 and 50 take offs and landings on a small seagoing vessel to test the UAV for commercial and military maritime missions. The landing spot on board of the vessel was 3 meters by 4 meters. Even at a vessel speed of 15 knots the HEF 32 was able to land and take off from the vessel in different modes.
These tests flights were made on a very small seagoing vessel, specially chartered by High Eye, to develop procedures and gain experience for operations from vessels which are not equipped for helicopter operations. ‘Although our men were completely soaked at the end of the day and the helicopter endured lots of sea water on and around it, the day was a complete success. If we manage to land on such a small and moving surface with these speeds and under these conditions, landing on a helicopter deck of a larger vessel will be easy. We are happy that High Eye proved that its HEF 32 long range VTOL UAV can be of great value for maritime operations worldwide’, says Joost de Ruiter CEO and owner of High Eye.
‘In the remainder of this year several maritime demo’s and pilot flights for navies and coast guards in very different part of the world are planned. High Eye can demonstrate that its HEF 32 with its EMI shielding, IP-67 rating, anodized coating, multi-functional pay load bay, emergency flotation bags and Part 145 maintenance schedule is a safe, reliable and affordable option for maritime and off shore operations’.

"After the signing of a corresponding contract the first (frigate of project 11356) will be laid in 2019 and handed over to the Indian Navy in 2023. Yantar shipyard on the Baltic Sea will provide the necessary technological assistance and supply some sections for assembly," the source said.
The venue for the frigate construction has been determined. Some India-designed onboard equipment will be installed. "The power plant will be supplied by Ukraine, in particular, by Zorya-Mashproekt," he said. The weapons of the frigate have not been determined yet. "However, talks are underway with BrahMos Aerospace Company," the source said.
Indian media earlier reported the government planned to procure in Russian four frigates of project 11356. Two will be built by Yantar shipyard and two by GSL. They are designed to strike at surface warships and submarines in blue and green waters and fight air targets solo and within groups. A corresponding agreement was not signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India on October 4-5.
At Euronaval 2018, the naval defense show held last week in France, BAE Systems showcased the Vulcano precision-guided munitions and the new fully Automated Handling System for the Mk 45 naval gun system.

About Vulcano precision-guided munition
BAE Systems and Leonardo have come together to offer a low-risk, precision-guided solution that is more affordable and higher performing than current alternatives.
Offering significantly greater range and precision, the Vulcano is compatible with the majority of land and naval platforms including 155mm and 5-inch (127mm) gun systems to defeat land and sea threats. The Vulcano family capitalizes on new and emerging technology based on a fin-stabilized airframe with canard control for extended range and terminal guidance, with mechanical interfaces that are the same as standard ammunition.
As the original equipment manufacturer of major gun systems such as the Mk 51 Advanced Gun System, the Mk 45 naval gun and the M777 and M109 howitzers, BAE Systems is best suited to integrate Vulcano into these weapons. Similarly, the latest adaptations of Vulcano are compatible with the majority of in-service artillery systems including Leonardo’s 127/64 LW and 127/54C naval guns.

Airbus dévoile un peu de son A320néo de patrouille maritime
Il n'y a pas que chez Dassault que l'on pouvait voir de nouvelles maquettes sur le salon Euronaval la semaine dernière. Airbus Defence exhibait en effet une maquette de son A320néo "MPA", appareil qui pourrait à l'horizon 2030 constituer le cœur de la flotte européenne d'avions de patrouille maritime.
Illustrations: Airbus
Alors que le ministère des Armées confirme la modernisation des mythiques (et magnifiques) Atlantique II de la Marine Nationale, Airbus prépare son offre pour le programme européen de patrouille maritime, que Paris et Berlin ont annoncé en avril 2018 en signant une lettre d’intention, pour un lancement entre 2022 et 2025, et une mise en service après 2030, date de fin de vie de nos ATL2 et des P3 allemands.
Il s'agira donc de l'A320neo MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft), dont une maquette était exhibée sur le stand Airbus lors du salon Euronaval au Bourget du 23 au 26 octobre de s'imposer afin de conquérir un marché européen déjà bien occupé par les américains, mais également de s'ouvrir quelques perspectives à l'export.
La maquette et les images de démonstration montrent un A320neo MPA doté de toutes les caractéristiques d'un appareil de PATMAR moderne, avec notamment les équipements de détection radar et de guerre électronique, mais surtout des système d'armes anti-sous-marins et anti-surface variés allant du missile à la torpille, en passant par les mines.
La force d'un liner comme l'A320neo, c'est bien entendu son rayon d'action de de 6 300 km. Cette solution est déjà un succès en réalité, comme le prouve Boeing avec son P8 Poséidon qui a déjà conquis des puissances maritimes de premier ordre comme le Royaume-Uni, l'Inde, l'Australie, et dans une moindre mesure la Norvège ou la Corée du sud.
Mais l'A320néo MPA se conçoit comme une partie d'un "système de systèmes" plus complexe (voir vidéo ci-dessus), qui comprendra dans le dispositif les navires bien entendu, mais aussi les satellites et drones, dont le Zephyr, un drone HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite) à énergie solaire capable de rester en vol durant des mois, qui, développé chez Airbus, pourrait être l'une des stars dans le futur.
Bien entendu, l'Airbus MPA pourra s'intégrer au Système de combat aérien futur européen (SCAF/FCAS), prévu à ce jour pour être développé par Airbus et Dassault Aviation en franco/allemand.
A noter que Dassault Aviation compte lui aussi proposer un appareil de sa gamme Falcon pour le programme européen de surveillance maritime. Toujours chez Airbus, on pouvait aussi voir à Euronaval une maquette du H160M "HIL" (hélicoptère interarmées léger) en version Marine Nationale. Lui arrivera vers 2028 au mieux.
