Gabon: SGF peut (enfin) lancer sa mission de formation


01.10.2015 par Philippe Chapleau - Lignes de Défense

Après des mois d'incertitude politico-bancaire du côté gabonais, Sovereign Global France (SGF) démarre la préparation opérationnelle et la mise à niveau des 450 hommes du contingent gabonais pour la Mission Multidimensionnelle Intégrée des Nations-Unies pour la Stabilisation en République Centrafricaine (MINUSCA). Voir mon post d'octobre 2014 sur la signature de l'accord franco-gabonais ici.

Une équipe SGF dirigée par Jean-­Luc Cuny est présente à Libreville pour lancer le programme qui va mobiliser une vingtaine d'employés de l'ESSD française au Gabon, à Bangui et à New York.

En vue de la mise à niveau Onu du bataillon déployé au sein de la MINUSCA, SGF assurera : 
- pour fin 2015, l'instruction du personnel déployé en Centrafrique et la fourniture des équipements en soutien de l’homme ; 
- le suivi des inspections Onu en Centrafrique et l’assistance aux relations avec l’Onu à New York ;
- la préparation des relèves du bataillon prévues en 2016 et 2017.

Selon SGF, la société de Jérôme Paolini et Peer de Jong  appuiera également le ministère de la Défense gabonaise lors de "la perception des matériels livrés par les industriels français de la Défense: transports de troupe blindés Aravis (Nexter), véhicules et matériels roulants (Renault Truck Défense et Sofema), système de télécommunications (Thales)."

Reste Piriou. Le chantier de Concarneau a toujours sur les bras l'ex P400 La Tapageuse et attend de pouvoir le livrer à la marine gabonaise.

Imagine being in the heat of battle, you are exhausted, fatigued and running on adrenaline. A few seconds before a terrorist opens fire, you are told over the radio to take cover and prepare. This is the development of military-like “Google Glasses”, which will provide real-time information from combat soldiers in battle to their commanders.

 

The IDF continues to ambitiously develop and harness technology of the twenty first century with the goal of preventing harm to combat soldiers. The IDF’s Development Branch, which is in charge of the development of forthcoming technology in the military, has been at the forefront of technology like the IDF’s “Google Glass” and the use of applications. Recently, this branch has been inspired from previous operations to advance technology that provides real-time information on the battlefield in order to prevent harm to the soldiers.

 “After Operation Protective Edge, there became a greater understanding that mobility is a significant factor in combat,” said Capt. Rotem, Head of Development Branch. “One of the things we’re working on is a change in the perception of mobility within the development branch of the IDF. In the coming year we will learn how to develop and utilize Android apps, and enter the realm of multi-faceted technology”.

 

Soldier ready for battle

One of the more dynamic projects that the communications branch is developing a “Google Glass” for combat soldiers to wear. Soldiers will be able to provide real time information that will connect to command and control screens, where people manning the stand will able to assess a soldier’s situation on the battlefield. “Of course the goal is not to confuse, but to add information that can help fighters make correct decisions – to prevent firing at our forces for example,” said Capt. Rotem.

The “Google Glass” is being transformed into military technology that will eventually take a step further and be repurposed for many other vital uses such as transport, navigation and identification. These concepts will be introduced through the development of applications, that will connect commanders in the field with the general staff.

 “We have completed our first application that works on a mobile platform – mobile logistics transportation,” explained Capt. Rotem. “It displays a map on the screen, displaying the route they are taking to deliver logistics, trucks with weapons, etc. This enables the commanders to gather updates on the delivery during the fighting, when it will reach the area – and be able to control the means of transport.”

 

Real time combat

Applications developed, such as the logistics application, will form the basis for many others to be developed for use by the end of 2015. There is a wide range of ideas, both in combat and operational support; applications that can help fighters navigate the battlefield and identify goals, possibly identify and confirm dead soldiers under a biometric element.

The realization of greater mobility and real time interaction between combat soldiers and commanders has become the recent objective through development of technology. The progression of “Google Glass” like technology is the first step to bringing combat and operational units together, while also preventing harm to soldiers on the battlefield with last minute absolute decision making.

Discovery Air Defence Services s'équipe en F-16

 

12.01.2015 par Philippe Chapleau - Lignes de Défense
 

La firme canadienne DADS, qui dispose actuellement de A4-N (10), d'Alpha Jet (16) et de IAI Westwind 1124 (ces derniers pour des missions de simulation et de guerre électronique), est bien décidée à devenir l'un des leaders mondiaux des CATS (Contracted Airborne Training Services).

Elle a acheté en 2014 six F-16 dont la livraison a commencé; elle a posé une option sur 19 autres appareils de ce type. La prochaine édition de Maple Flag, en mai, pourrait constituer leur première sortie officielle.

Sa maison-mère Discovery Air s'est également implantée aux USA, d'abord en créant Top Aces USA (du nom initial de la société canadienne rebaptisée DADS) puis en achetant la firme ATSI (Advanced Training Systems International) et ses 10 Skyhawk en décembre 2013, pour la somme de 6,8 millions de $. ATSI va être englobé dans Top Aces USA.

DADS, qui déploie actuellement sept Skyhawk en Allemagne après avoir évincé BAE Systems, espère pouvoir décrocher un contrat identique au Royaume-Uni.

DADS et Top Aces USA appartienent à Discovery Air (160 aéronefs et 850 employés). Ce groupe a été créé en 2004 et il regroupe 9 sociétés (dont une aux USA et une au Chili).

NATO School Oberammergau - Sur les bancs de l’OTAN

 

11/12/2014 Armée de Terre

 

Principal établissement d’enseignement opératif et tactique de l’OTAN, l’école d’Oberammergau, en Allemagne, dispense 80 % des cours au profit de l’Alliance. Elle offre un catalogue d’une centaine de formations par an, pour plus de 7 000 étudiants.

 

« Nous formons les gens pour travailler dans l’OTAN. Ce n’est pas une formation initiale, nos stagiaires sont des professionnels du milieu et nous les formons aux procédures "otaniennes". Ils ont tous un niveau équivalent dans leur domaine, mais une culture nationale très différente », garantit le lieutenant-colonel Philippe Grudet, directeur de département.

 

Prestataire de service, cette école internationale s’adapte avec souplesse aux besoins des 28 nations membres, mais aussi à ceux des pays partenaires.

 

Témoignages :

Capitaine Christophe, 28 ans de service, stagiaire.
« Depuis que je suis affecté en poste OTAN, c’est mon 3e stage à la NATO School. Il y a beaucoup d’intervenants qui viennent d’univers différents mais qui ont tous un haut niveau d’expertise. Quel que soit le cours, nous travaillons beaucoup en groupe multinationaux. Nous sommes tous d’origines diverses et avons une façon différente d’aborder les sujets. Fidèles aux fondements de l’OTAN, nous sommes toujours à la recherche du consensus pour présenter nos travaux. Je suis officier traitant au Joint Force Command à Brunssum, spécialisé dans l’information opérationnelle. Ce stage va me donner les connaissances suffisantes pour présenter la position de l’OTAN sur le sujet. C’est pour cette raison que mes chefs m’ont permis de saisir de cette opportunité. »

Lieutenant Caroline, 3 ans de service, stagiaire.
« Avec un master en langues étrangères appliquées, j’ai étudié le droit international et le droit des conflits armés. Depuis mon engagement en qualité d’officier sous-contrat spécialiste juriste, j’ai toujours voulu m’orienter vers les actions civilo-militaires. J’ai eu l’opportunité d’être projetée en Jordanie en 2013 dans cette fonction. Aujourd’hui,  je suis spécialiste dans l’influence militaire au centre de commandement et de projection des opérations au ministère de la Défense. Grâce à ce 3e stage dans le domaine, j’ai désormais une approche globale. Étant contractuelle et non insérée OTAN, j’ai un parcours atypique. J’ai la chance d’avoir un chef qui soutient la formation de ses cadres. Cette formation est indispensable pour être plus efficace dans notre travail quotidien. J’espère pouvoir suivre un dernier stage l’année prochaine pour parfaire mon expertise du domaine. »

Colonel Emmanuel, JFC Naples, intervenant.
« Je suis responsable de l’entraînement et des exercices au Joint Force Command à Naples, depuis un an. Nous montons des scénarios pour faire travailler les états-majors opératifs interarmées. J’interviens pour la seconde fois à la NATO School. Chaque entité otanienne doit contribuer à la formation des nouveaux arrivants, selon son expertise, sa disponibilité et sa nation d’origine. J’étais volontaire pour animer à cette session. C’est important de transmettre son expérience. La structure de l’OTAN est complexe car soumise à de nombreuses règles, et peut parfois impressionner les novices. Il faut avoir une bonne expérience des états-majors et être à l’aise avec les sujets conceptuels. Aujourd’hui je participe à la formation des militaires avec qui je travaillerai demain sur de nouveaux exercices. Je prépare mes futurs correspondants. C’est très valorisant de se retrouver de l’autre côté du pupitre, mais je garde la même émotion et la même fraîcheur que lorsque j’étais stagiaire. Je comprends leurs inquiétudes et leurs interrogations. Nous sommes une armée connectée aux autres. Nous partageons chaque jour nos procédures avec les alliés. J’occupe un poste très riche en échange. Un monde gravite autour du notre et je suis fier d’en faire partie. »

 

Les autres écoles de l’OTAN


Le collège de Défense de l’OTAN à Rome est le principal établissement d’enseignement de niveau stratégique. Il s’agit d’un centre d’études et de recherche dans le domaine de la sécurité transatlantique. Plusieurs milliers d’officiers supérieurs et de diplomates ont fréquenté le collège de Défense depuis sa création en 1951.
Spécialisée dans les systèmes d’information et de communication (SIC) de l’OTAN, l’école de Latina forme les membres de l’OTAN à la maintenance et l’exploitation des SIC de l’Alliance.

Le “Lavi”, tout dernier avion d’entraînement de Tsahal

 

Tsahal
 

Cette semaine, les capacités de l’Armée de l’Air israélienne ont été renforcées par l’arrivée du tout dernier avion d’entraînement “Lavi”. Cet avion, à la pointe de la technologie, a été choisi afin de permettre aux pilotes de recevoir une meilleure formation et d’être plus rapidement opérationnels pour rejoindre les escadrilles de Tsahal. Le commandant A., commandant adjoint de l’unité responsable de la formation des pilotes sur “Lavi”, explique quels sont les atouts considérables que cet avion apporte avec lui.

 

L’Armée de l’Air israélienne vient de recevoir les trois premiers exemplaires de son nouvel avion d’entraînement, le “Lavi”. Cet avion est destiné à la formation des pilotes à la sortie de l’Académie de Pilotage, afin de faciliter leur conversion sur les avions de chasse F-16i ou F-15.

Comme le confie le commandant A., qui est commandant adjoint de l’escadrille d’entraînement sur “Lavi”, “cet avion est une révolution pour l’Armée de l’Air israélienne. Ses caractéristiques en vol sont très proches de celles du F-16i et du F-15. Nous allons pouvoir montrer aux élèves les manoeuvres possibles sur leur futur appareil, et raccourcir ainsi leur temps de formation et d’adaptation.”

Et c’est un sujet sur lequel le commandant A. est expert. Avant de prendre ses fonctions en tant que commandant adjoint de l’escadrille de formation sur “Lavi”, il a lui-même piloté sur F-16i pendant 10 ans.

“Un pilote doit être polyvalent, toujours prêt à affronter n’importe quel imprévu, car toute mission en comporte”, explique t-il.

“Mon rôle en tant qu’instructeur sur “Lavi” est simple : transmettre tout mon savoir de pilote à mon élève afin de le rendre prêt à affronter toutes les situations : combat aérien, bombardement, escorte. Le “Lavi” est l’avion le plus polyvalent pour m’aider à remplir ce rôle,” continue le commandant A.

“Avec le “Lavi”, le temps d’entraînement va être réduit de moitié, ce qui va nous permettre d’avoir des pilotes opérationnels beaucoup plus rapidement qu’auparavant. Les capacités de cet avion font qu’aujourd’hui, l’Armée de l’Air se trouve en possession d’un des avions d’entraînements les plus avancés au monde. La qualité de nos pilotes qui sortiront de l’année de formation sur “Lavi” n’en sera qu’accrue,” conclue le commandant A.

Un simulateur sur mesure à la pointe de la technologie

Avec le “Lavi”, Tsahal a également reçu les nouveaux simulateurs de vol sur lesquels s’entraînent les pilotes. Les caractéristiques très poussées de l’avion ont mené à la création d’un simulateur unique en son genre.

Le sergent Liora, 20 ans, est instructrice sur simulateur du “Lavi”. Afin de pouvoir enseigner aux pilotes le fonctionnement de cet appareil, elle a choisi de servir 3 ans dans l’armée, au lieu des 2 ans obligatoires. “Notre travail exige une longue formation”, explique le sergent Liora. “Nous devons apprendre aux pilotes et à leurs instructeurs toutes les caractéristiques du Lavi : pendant 2 semaines, les pilotes suivent différents cours sur les particularités du Lavi, après quoi ils passent aux épreuves sur simulateur.”

Le simulateur du “Lavi” utilise les toutes dernières technologies de pointe en matière de logiciel et de matériel afin de reproduire exactement la façon dont l’avion se comporte en vol, tout en reproduisant les bruits environnants, comme celui des réacteurs et du vent.

“L’épreuve sur simulateur est l’étape-clé de la formation théorique, car c’est là que les pilotes vont tester ce qu’ils ont appris avant de voler sur le “Lavi”. Piloter un avion demande d’être minutieux et de pouvoir enregistrer un grand nombre d’informations pour prendre la bonne décision. Si nous enseignons mal le fonctionnement de l’avion, les conséquences en vol peuvent être extrêmement graves”, explique le sergent Liora.

“Nous sommes six instructrices dans le centre. Nous avons toutes passé un an à apprendre le pilotage du Lavi sur simulateur, ainsi que ses différentes caractéristiques. Nous éprouvons une grande fierté de pouvoir travailler ainsi avec les pilotes, et d’enseigner aux élèves toutes les compétences qu’ils utiliseront par la suite dans le cadre de leur mission : défendre l’État d’Israël.”

France to start training Libyan police in coming weeks

 

13 May 2014 defenceWeb

 

France said on Tuesday it would begin training Libyan policemen in the coming weeks, more than a year after pledging to do so as part of efforts to help restore security in the North African state.

 

Paris is worried by the situation in energy producer Libya which, more than two-and-a-half years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, is struggling to contain violence between militias and Islamist militants who are gaining ground in the south.

 

Paris agreed in February 2013 to initially train 1,000 Libyan police in counter-terrorism with another 1,500 after that, but, with Libya's parliament paralysed by rivalries and brigades of heavily armed former rebels, Western countries have been reluctant to interfere in the internal political situation.

 

"This training will start. We are examining the extra requests made by the Libyans," foreign ministry spokesman Romain Nadal told reporters. "It's a question of weeks."

 

French officials have said the training, which had been due to begin in March, had been delayed because Tripoli was not providing financial guarantees to pay for the mission. Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said in April it could not start because there were not enough Libyan volunteers.

 

"They have requested more detailed and technical training in a number of fields and we are adjusting to that," Nadal said, without saying who would pay for the mission.

 

France also plans to deploy 3,000 troops, currently in Mali, across the Sahel region along the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, to fight Islamist militancy, including with a new base in northern Chad.

 

A French offensive last year ousted Islamist insurgents from northern Mali, scattering them across the region.

 

Militias and armed protesters have seized ports and oilfields over the last few months to press demands on the central government, squeezing state finances in a country where oil and gas exports are the overwhelming source of revenue.

New Training Center

 

 

19.02.2014 Shani Pomes - IAF

 

The Heavy Transport Division's new training center opens at the Nevatim airbase. The new center will train and instruct aircrews from the division, which is comprised of four different types of aircrafts and dozens of missions. The vision: a full squadron of heavy transport simulators

 

Nevatim airbase, located in the Negev, inaugurated a new training center for the IAF's Heavy Transport Division, which will be responsible for training from the basics to qualification maintenance.

The division currently consists of different squadrons: the "Hercules C-130" squadron, the "Boeing 707" squadron, the "Gulfstream" squadron and the soon-to-be operational "Hercules C-130J" squadron.

Yet, despite their numbers, until now there has not been a single body that concentrated the training and each squadron had to take care of its aircrews without professional assistance.

"The reason the Heavy Transport Division didn't have a training center until now was that the simulators were located abroad, outside of Israel", explains Colonel P', Head of the Training Department. "Over time, we realized that in order to operate with the correct training culture we were aiming for, we need to have a training center that would handle these issues".

 

"Pure training center"

 

The missions of the Heavy Transport Division are quite varied and as such, the new training center will have to provide an instructional, diverse and satisfactory response. To this end, a research and development section was established within the training center: a section comprised of non-commissioned officers and multimedia producers who will be responsible for the design of the training.

"Until the summer, the first aircrews will complete the construction of the work plan and starting in the summer, the center will begin working with a premade work plan. Every section of the division will start enjoying the achievements of the center and will take part in the training process", said Lieutenant Colonel Eitan, commander of the "Desert Giants" squadron which operates "Boeing 707". "This site is a pure training center, which will provide a solution to all relevant squadrons".

 

Coming Soon: A Training Squadron

 

The inauguration of the center is actually the first step among many in a long-term process of developing the instructional training in the Heavy Transport Division.

"This is only the beginning. We envision this center being part of a training squadron", adds Lieutenant Colonel Eitan.

"Even though, we currently don't have any simulators, this center is looking a few years ahead. I hope that in the future we'll see upgraded Hercules C-130 and Hercules C-130J simulators, maybe someday even a "Boeing 707" aerial refueling simulator", said Brigadier General Lihu Hacohen, commander of the Nevatim airbase. "At the end of the day, this professional training will put us, as a division, in a much better place".
