Hello everyone, welcome to this special
0:12
edition of the DGA news dedicated to the
0:14
international air show. I am Roman
0:16
journalist and in this format I will
0:19
accompany you throughout the Paris air
0:21
show to present innovations and news not
0:23
to be missed. Today, major advances are
0:26
presented on the F4 Marine and F5R
0:30
Rafals, especially with the presentation
0:32
of the UQAV stealth combat drone. Before
0:36
that, let's start with an overview with
0:38
Emmanuel, who will be general delegate
0:40
for armaments. Mr. General delegate for
0:42
armaments. Hello. Good morning. This
0:44
Paris air show is initiating within a
0:46
distinctive context. What challenges
0:48
does the addition of 2025 present? So
0:51
the context, it is obvious, everyone
0:53
realizes it today. New threats, an
0:56
extremely unstable geopolitical context,
0:59
very high inensity military operations,
1:01
and at the same time the fact of having
1:05
France will also rearm Europe in the
1:07
face of these new threats, but also in
1:09
the face of the possibility of
1:10
disengagement of some of our partners.
1:13
So we have to pivot, we have to move and
1:14
we are moving in all the components
1:16
whether it is solar defense, whether it
1:18
is combat aviation which we will
1:20
continue to ensure the relevance of and
1:22
uh obviously other areas such as space
1:25
from surface to space. This is the main
1:27
theme of this 2025 edition concretely
1:30
what does this mean for the DGA for the
1:32
forces and industrialists?
1:34
Well, it is important to show today that
1:37
we have a real continuum finally between
1:39
ground defense and ground air defense.
1:42
And you have a number of equipment
1:44
that's on display here, combat aviation.
1:46
You also have equipment that is
1:48
presented, the helicopters, the hill,
1:50
the cheetah with a version. besides that
1:53
is capable of dialogue with drones.
1:56
Uh the Rafal in its standard F5 to the
1:59
air force, its standard F4 navy and then
2:02
a certain number of things that we have
2:03
never shown. Uh in fact the tanks of the
2:06
new generation of bombs which are bombs
2:08
A2SM but with a booster which ultimately
2:10
makes it possible to increase the range
2:12
of these weapons. This allows us to
2:15
remain credible. And then the space, the
2:17
space obviously which is presented
2:19
inside the pavilion of the ministry of
2:20
the armed forces. Space you will find
2:23
both the very high altitude that is to
2:25
say this continues even between endo
2:27
atmospheric and exo atmospheric space.
2:30
The reuse of balloons is also something
2:32
extremely new. And then behind
2:34
everything that is action in space,
2:36
surveillance in space, surveillance in
2:38
space from space or from earth where
2:40
there you have a number of programs that
2:42
are presented uh from space conveyors,
2:45
nano satellites that will serve as
2:46
bodyguards for our heritage satellites.
2:50
this whole ecosystem which is
2:52
constituted by complimentarity between
2:54
what is called new space and then the
2:56
more traditional players who are either
2:58
capable of making our large
3:00
geostationary satellites. Why is it so
3:03
important to be present at this Paris
3:04
air show for the ministry of the armed
3:06
forces and for the DGA? Well the DGA is
3:08
really the LE the anchor point
3:10
ultimately between industry and then the
3:12
armed forces. So as you know we design
3:14
ourselves we discuss with the forces we
3:18
refine the need we work with
3:19
manufacturers and we are therefore
3:21
experimenting with approximately 18 test
3:24
sites in France it's important to be
3:26
there this obviously allows us to to
3:28
promote cooperation to also find new
3:29
contracts but also to be present in
3:32
terms of research and development and to
3:34
be able to show all the technological
3:35
excellence that is necessary for our
3:37
export and you know that exports are
3:39
necessary for France's economic model in
3:41
terms of defense. Thank you, Mr. General
3:46
Let's take a closer look at the
3:47
innovations around one of the great
3:49
stars of the Paris Air Show, the Rafal,
3:51
and you will see it came accompanied.
3:53
The next generation of Rafal is the F5.
3:56
It will ensure air superiority over the
3:59
next decade. It is presented on the
4:01
stand of the Ministry of the Armed
4:02
Forces alongside the UKQAV.
4:05
The F5 standard includes a new radar
4:08
which makes it possible to obtain an
4:10
enlarged gate. It is also embedded in
4:12
its frontal sector optics, a new sensor,
4:16
the silent killer, which makes it
4:18
possible to detect stealthy targets in
4:20
infrared at very long distances. The
4:23
Rafal will be able to rely on a new car,
4:25
which is a stealth platform equipped
4:27
with a cargo hold that will make it
4:29
possible to approach as close as
4:31
possible to threats without being
4:33
detected to neutralize them or to
4:36
provide the Rafal with the necessary
4:38
coordinates to neutralize them. The
4:40
Rafale F5 will also contribute to the
4:42
renewal of the airborne nuclear
4:44
component with the integration of the
4:46
SN4G missile. The aircraft also has
4:49
improvements on its operability.
4:51
Compliant tanks located on the dorsal of
4:53
the aircraft reducing drag, a new engine
4:56
increasing from 7 tons to 5 tons of
4:58
thrust and among other things, air
5:00
ground disarmament of greater range.
5:03
Also present on the stand of the
5:04
Ministry of the Armed Forces, the Rafal
5:07
F4 is in its marine version.
5:10
So the Rafael Marine has certain
5:12
pecularities compared to its cousin
5:14
which is operated by the air force in
5:16
space. The Rafael Marine is easily
5:19
recognizable by its front landing gear
5:21
which is enormously reinforced by that
5:23
of an airplane to be able to withstand
5:25
catapulting maneuvers. Also a crossbar
5:28
at the rear is present to be able to
5:30
allow landing. The Rafal F4 Marine is
5:33
already operational. The standard F5
5:36
will be deployed by 2030.
5:39
The DJ news is coming to an end. We'll
5:41
see you tomorrow for another special
5:42
edition. The theme is to know your
