Boeing pense implementer une de ses dernières inventions, qui consiste en un gun retractable sous le ventre du B-1 :shock:
Pour ainsi dire, donner au B-1 un role de CAS :roll:
Il est certain que le B-1 aura une panoplie de contre-mesures additionnelles. Ils parlent de 150m d'altitude pour ces operations.
Proposed Cannon Would Turn the B-1 Bomber into a Gunship
Military.com 17 May 2018 By Oriana Pawlyk
The B-1B Lancer bomber already carries more weapons than any of its counterparts. But officials are exploring the possibility of adding a cannon to its arsenal.

Boeing Co. has been granted a patent for a cannon that could enhance the aircraft's ability to take on more close-air support roles. The patent, U.S. 9,963,231 B2, shows various mounts for the gun, which would retract into the aircraft's belly.

The company is exploring the possibility of mounting different types of weapons. "A weapon may include or correspond to a machine gun, a chain gun, a cannon, an autocannon, a rail gun, a projectile firing device, or a laser weapon," the patent states.

"By mounting the weapons system within a weapons bay, the aircraft may operate at supersonic speeds when the weapons system is retracted, extended, or both," it continues. "By including a weapons system on board an aircraft, functionality of the aircraft may increase and the aircraft may gain additional capabilities. For example, a bomber may be able to provide close-air support or better support ground troops."

Experts say the proposed enhancement may be speaking to what troops on the ground really want: air support with eyes on the target.

This "really seems to go back to the ground forces not trusting precision-guided munitions," said one defense analyst in Washington, D.C.

"The whole argument in favor of the A-10 is that the ground forces want whoever is providing fire to have eyes on the target," the source told Military.com on background Wednesday.

"They don't trust that a precision-guided weapon from a Reaper [drone], F-16, B-1 or whatever is going to hit the right target at the right time and not hit them. They want guns with the operators overhead," the expert said.

The source cited a June 9, 2014, incident in Afghanistan in which a B-1 crew dropped two 500-pound bombs overtop of five U.S. soldiers and one Afghan soldier near Arghandab. The soldiers, including two Green Berets, died in the accident.

"The Air Force sees a future where they're just putting weapons on specified coordinates. The ground folks have no confidence in that," the expert said.

The B-1 community has recently highlighted how the long-range bomber can support a CAS mission.

"If I'm talking to a guy on the ground and I have my sensor on him ... we can drop weapons seven miles away, or we can drop lower, drop them closer," said Lt. Col. Dominic "Beaver" Ross, director of operations for the 337th Test and Evaluations Squadron. "We're not going to drop them as low as an A-10, but we are going to do shows of force where we're 500 feet overtop of their head."

Military.com sat down with Ross, and other Global Strike Command officials during a trip to the Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, and took a ride in the B-1B over training ranges in New Mexico in December.

Coordinating targets in such a manner is helped by the B-1B's Integrated Battle Station, known as the IBS upgrade, and the Sustainment-Block 16 (SB-16) upgrade, which give pilots and backseaters -- the offensive and defensive positions in the cockpit -- more situational awareness, with enhanced cockpit displays and data and coordinate sharing.

During Military.com's Dec. 19 flight, the SB-16 system showed enhanced communications and data-sharing techniques, including the military grid reference system and tech displays that enabled pilots and crew to instantaneously send target coordinates, weapons information, altitudes, speeds -- even the aircraft's call sign.

Adding a cannon to the aircraft could also reduce the number of precision-guided bombs released, cutting the Air Force's expenses in the long run.

"The gun on the bomber is a way of having a gun with long loiter time that can get where it needs to get quickly," the defense analyst said. "But it's also preferred (by some) to the same bomber releasing a PGM."

While the Air Force could use its brand-new AC-130J Ghostrider gunship for a similar mission, putting a mounted gun on the B-1 could help stave off the bomber's retirement.

"It certainly gives more range and speed for this capability," said Richard Aboulafia, vice president and analyst at the Teal Group. "If it does its part in keeping the B-1 in service longer, then the concept has merit."

The Air Force has already set in motion plans to retire its B-2 Spirit and Lancer bombers in the 2030s as it builds up its new B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber fleet. The Lancers will stick around until at least 2036, enough time to bring in new pilots, train them and have them fly for at least 15 years.

But Aboulafia thinks expense will probably prevent the cannon from ever becoming a reality for the B-1.

While an actual dollar figure remains unknown, given "the expense relative to the likely lifespan of the B-1, the odds are against it," he said. "Given the expense of the aircraft, that's unlikely."

Operating the Lancer costs $82,777 per flight hour, according to published 2016 operational costs for the aircraft.

Boeing will nevertheless proceed with the concept to prototype options.

"There are currently no plans or customer requirements to install this specific system. :scratch: However, the USAF has asked Boeing to innovate and Boeing is responding," Boeing spokeswoman Lori Rasmussen told Military.com on Monday.

"When our teams bring forward ideas that could have future value for our customers, we will submit a patent application, even when there is no explicit customer requirement for the innovation," she said.

Fincantieri uses FREMM frigate visit to push bid for FFG (X) program
Print Email
The ITS Alpino receives an escort into Norfolk from the USS Gonzales
The ITS Alpino receives an escort into Norfolk from the USS Gonzales
MAY 22, 2018 — The ITS Alpino, a Fincantieri-built Italian Navy FREMM class frigate recently arrived in Norfolk, VA. The FREMM design is one of five being considered by the U.S. Navy for its FFG (X) future frigate program (see earlier story).

According to Fincantieri, the FREMM frigates are the only ships in the competition that have been proven in combat, having helped to destroy a Syrian chemical weapons facility in April.

Fincantieri operates in the United States through its subsidiary Fincantieri Marine Group (FMG) which has three shipyards (Fincantieri Marinette Marine, Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding and Fincantieri ACE Marine) located in the Great Lakes Region:

"The ITS Alpino demonstrates the proven versatility and capability of the FREMM class frigate," said Vice Admiral Richard Hunt (Ret.), Fincantieri Marinette Marine's Chief Strategy Officer. "It is lethal, survivable, designed for sailors and in service now. It provides a superior platform for the U.S. Navy FFG(X) competition and can provide great combat capability for our Navy in the near term and beyond. It will contribute to the defense of America and our allies."

"ITS Alpino's visit to the United States provides a great opportunity to introduce this ship to Navy leadership and warfighters." Admiral Hunt added. "The design has demonstrated its flexibility with several variations used in the Italian and French Navies and has the ability to grow to serve the U.S. Navy's future needs. It is a highly capable, proven warship which has been consistently built on schedule and at an affordable cost. FREMM class ships are built with industry best practices in design and construction, delivering superior performance quickly and affordably with a strong focus on providing a high operational availability."

"The ITS Alpino's cutting-edge technology provides the capabilities needed for FFG(X) to be highly lethal while still being dependable and comfortable for the sailors who operate it," said Charles Goddard, formerly the U.S. Navy's PEO Ships and currently Fincantieri Marine Group's Senior Vice President. "The FREMM's design will enable it to grow over its service life with the U.S. Navy with limited upgrade costs. This ship is a technical marvel."

Among many other capabilities, the ITS Alpino has 16 Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells that can be readily upgraded to 32, can host two helicopters, and can combat undersea, surface, and airborne threats.

Following its stay in Norfolk, the ITS Alpino will visit Baltimore, New York City, and Boston. The trip is designed to both improve upon cooperation between the U.S. and Italian navies and underscore the potential benefits of frigates based on the FREMM design for the U.S. Navy

La cyber-armée américaine prend officiellement ses quartiers au Pentagone

Le Sénat a approuvé le projet de faire de l'US Cyber Command (CyberCom), le 10e commandement de combat de l’armée américaine. À sa tête, le lieutenant général Paul Nakasone, qui devient également patron de la NSA (agence de renseignements militaire).
C’est un virage historique pour les forces armées américaines qui mettent la cyberdéfense au même niveau que la défense aérienne, terrestre ou maritime en donnant son autonomie à l'US Cyber ​​Command (CyberCom), une unité créée en 2009. A la tête des opérations, le lieutenant général Paul Nakasone qui succède aussi à Mike Rogers à la tête de la NSA, l’agence américaine de renseignements militaire. CyberCom devient officiellement le 10e commandement de combat de l’armée américaine, comme le rapporte le site du Pentagone.

"Tout comme nos militaires doivent être prêts à défendre notre nation contre des actes hostiles terrestres, aériens et maritimes, nous devons aussi être prêts à dissuader et, si nécessaire, réagir aux actes hostiles dans le cyberespace", a déclaré Dana W. White, porte-parole du Pentagone lors de la cérémonie organisé pour cette prise de fonction.

"Armes cybernétiques, cyber-boucliers et cyber-combattants"
Comme l’a soutenu Patrick Shanahan, secrétaire adjoint à la Défense, la cyberguerre a déjà commencé. "Pendant plus de 1000 ans, les militaires ont rivalisé pour la domination sur terre et sur mer. Au cours des 100 dernières années, nous avons dominé dans l'air. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes à l'aube d'une nouvelle ère. La défense du cyberespace et de l'espace est aussi stratégique que la terre, la mer et l'air". Il demande au nouveau patron de la NSA "de construire et renforcer l’arsenal d'armes cybernétiques, cyber-boucliers et cyber-combattants".

Le général Nakasone a dévoilé sa volonté de mieux protéger les secteurs industriels stratégiques notamment "les réseaux électriques". Il a aussi annoncé qu’il décidera d’ici l’été prochain si CyberCom sera totalement intégré dans la NSA ou si son commandement conservera une certaine autonomie. Une question qui semble déjà tranchée, selon les experts américains.

Cette équipe compte 7000 employés quand la NSA compte 38.000 membres civil et militaires en plus de 17.000 entreprises privées qui lui fournissent un soutien. Mais l’effectif de CyberCom se développe. Il atteindra 20.000 personne qui rejoindront l’Integrated Cyber ​​Centre (ICC), un campus de six bâtiments actuellement en construction à Fort Meade dans le Maryland où se trouve la NSA. Ce projet représente un coût de 500 millions de dollars et sera opérationnel en 2028.
.L'armée américaine interdit à ses troupes d'utiliser les smartphones de Huawei et ZTE
L'armée américaine a pris une décision inédite. Ce vendredi 4 mai, elle a dévoilé l'interdiction pour ses troupes, où qu'elle se trouve sur le globe, d'utiliser des smartphones de Huawei et ZTE.

Selon un porte-parole du Pentagone, Dave Eastburn, ces smartphones présentent des risques de sécurité "inacceptables pour le personnel, les informations et les missions militaires". Le responsable ajoute qu'il "n'était pas prudent [...] de continuer à les vendre" dans les magasins gérés par l'armée dans les bases américaines à travers le monde.

Ces deux marques sont dans le viseur de l'administration américaine depuis plusieurs mois. Les opérateurs télécoms et les grandes chaînes de produits technologiques ont déjà annoncé qu'ils ne les distribueraient plus.

Il y a quelques semaines, Huawei et ZTE ont été informés qu'ils ne pourraient plus utiliser des composants américains (matériel ou logiciel) dans leurs smartphones. Cette sanction repose sur la vente en 2016 de produits achetés aux États-Unis à l'Iran et en Corée du Nord malgré l'embargo américain.

Le porte-parole de Huawei, Charles Zinkowski, a affirmé que les appareils de la compagnie respectaient les normes les plus élevées en termes de sécurité et de confidentialité dans tout pays où elle opère, y compris aux États-Unis. De son côté, ZTE a décidé de faire faire appel pour réclamer la levée des sanctions.

Les États Unis prévoit d'envoyer des systèmes de defanse aérienne THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) en Allemagne pour bouster la defanse aérienne européenne.
Exclusive: U.S. military looking at deploying anti-missile system in Germany.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The U.S. military has held preliminary discussions about moving a powerful missile defense system to Germany to boost European defenses, according to two sources familiar with the issue, a move that experts said could trigger fresh tensions with Moscow.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The U.S. military has held preliminary discussions about moving a powerful missile defense system to Germany to boost European defenses, according to two sources familiar with the issue, a move that experts said could trigger fresh tensions with Moscow.

The tentative proposal to send the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to Europe predates U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear accord, and comes amid a broader push to strengthen Europe’s air and missile defenses.

While Europe and the United States are at odds over the fate of the nuclear agreement, they share concerns about Iran’s continued development of ballistic missiles.

Iran’s Shahab 3 missiles can already travel 2,000 km, enough to reach southern Europe, and its Revolutionary Guards have said they will increase the range if threatened since the range is capped by strategic doctrine, not technology constraints.

U.S. European Command has been pushing for a THAAD system inEurope for years, but the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear accord has added urgency to the issue, said Riki Ellison, head of the non-profit Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance.

A senior German military official cited the need to add more radars across Europe to better track and monitor potential threats, and cue interceptors if needed.

The U.S. Defense Dept said no such action had been decided.

“There are currently no plans to station THAAD systems in Germany. We do not discuss potential future military planning, as we would not want to signal our intent to potential adversaries. Germany remains among our closest partners and strongest allies,” said Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon.

Deploying another U.S. defensive system to Europe could reassure NATO allies in southern Europe already within striking range of Iran’s missiles, said one military official from that region.

Talk of deploying a THAAD system in Europe also comes against the backdrop of rising tensions between the West and Russia.

NATO has long insisted that its missile defense program is not directed at Russia, but the alliance has adopted a tougher tone toward Moscow in the wake of the poisoning of a Russian former spy in England.

Moscow denies any involvement in the poisoning, and blames the tensions on NATO’s military expansion eastward, and its assembly of a ballistic missile shield with a key site inRomania that was declared combat-ready in 2016.

Moving THAAD to Germany could plug a radar gap caused by a two-year delay in completion of a second Aegis Ashore missile defense site in Poland that was initially due to open this year.

The issue may be raised in a new Pentagon missile defense review expected in early June. The review may draw a closer connection between missile defense and a need to deter Russia that was highlighted in the new U.S. national defense strategy, said Tom Karako, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies....

US Navy selects Raytheon-Kongsberg NSM
image.jpeg
Raytheon and Kongsberg Gruppen’s Naval Strike Missile (NSM) has been selected by the US Navy to meet its over-the-horizon requirement for littoral combat ships and future frigates, the company announced on 1 June.
Under the contract worth $14.8 million, Raytheon will produce and deliver weapon systems consisting of offensive missiles loaded into launching mechanisms and a single fire control suite. The contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $847.6 million.
The NSM is a long-range precision missile designed to strike heavily defended land and sea targets. The missile uses advanced seeker and target identification technology to defeat enemy defences up to 100 nautical miles away.
Taylor Lawrence, president of Raytheon Missile Systems, said: ‘Raytheon and Kongsberg are providing the navy with a proven, off-the-shelf solution that exceeds requirements for the over-the-horizon mission. Because it is operational now, NSM saves the United States billions of dollars in development costs and creates new high-tech jobs in this country.’

Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu Celebrates Commencement of Triton Flight Operations

NAVAL BASE VENTURA COUNTY, POINT MUGU, Calif. – June 1, 2018 – Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE: NOC) joined the U.S. Navy in officially welcoming the MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system to the fleet with a ceremony on May 31 to celebrate the commencement of flight operations.
image.jpeg
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu is home to the maintenance detachment of Unmanned Patrol Squadron (VUP)-19 DET Point Mugu, the Navy’s first unmanned patrol squadron. Maintainers are conducting training and tests on the Triton aircraft before it deploys to Guam later this year.

Point Mugu has also completely refurbished an existing hangar that will accommodate up to four Triton aircraft with its 130.9-foot wingspan. The first two Triton aircraft are located at Point Mugu.

Brian Chappel, sector vice president and general manager, Autonomous Systems, Northrop Grumman, joined Doug Shaffer, vice president, Triton programs, Northrop Grumman, and Rear Admiral William Wheeler III in cutting the ribbon on the refurbished hangar.

“With each new part of the Triton infrastructure that the Navy stands up, we move closer to making Triton operational and showing the fleet what this remarkable aircraft system can do,” Shaffer said. “I look forward to the day when this hangar is full of activity leading up to the Guam employment.”

“As Naval Base Ventura County’s representative in Congress, I am proud to support the MQ-4C Triton aircraft system,” said U.S. Rep. Julia Brownley, Ventura County. “The Triton is an essential component of the Navy’s future intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, and a critical program for the continued strength of Naval Base Ventura County and our national security. I have made funding for research, development, and procurement of the Triton a top priority. When fully developed, this program will bring jobs and an economic boost to Ventura County.”

Built by Northrop Grumman, the MQ-4C Triton is an unmanned intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft system with an autonomous capability that is piloted from a ground station. Triton can fly for up to 24 hours and reach altitudes of up to 55,000 feet. Flying high above the battle space, Triton provides a critical common operating picture, disseminating images and near-real time video to commanders around the world.

Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in autonomous systems, cyber, C4ISR, strike, and logistics and modernization to customers worldwide.

Here’s how the US is preparing for a possible Russian attack in Europe
image.jpeg
An increasing focus on Russian deterrence within the top ranks of the Pentagon could foreshadow the deployment of more U.S. troops to Europe.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will meet with NATO defense ministers this week and pitch a 30-30-30-30 readiness plan to counter what the Pentagon perceives as an increasing Russian ground force threat. The plan calls on NATO allies to assemble 30 land battalions, 30 air squadrons and 30 combat vessels capable of deploying in 30 days or less by the year 2020.

The plan comes at a time of lingering concerns about the capability of NATO members to meet U.S. strategic readiness goals.

A recent Rand Corporation study showed that Britain, France and Germany could each deploy a heavy brigade unit to NATO’s eastern flank within a month, but sustaining those forces would be difficult, especially given French military commitments in Africa and years of British military cuts.

Those concerns leave open the possibility that more U.S. forces will be needed in Europe to satisfy the Pentagon’s Russian deterrence goals, which is precisely what the head of U.S. European Command called for just weeks ago.

Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, U.S. European commander and NATO supreme allied commander, told reporters after a meeting with chiefs of defense from across Europe that U.S. resources may need to be diverted from ongoing counterterrorism operations in order to fulfill his central task of Russian deterrence.

“In terms of the force structure .. .in each of our domains, there are additions that I need,” he told Reuters.

Scaparrotti said that more U.S. troops and spy planes deployed to Europe “would help me do a better job of deterring Russia and set us in a better place to understand how Russia operates.”.....
