Service de semaine Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Nouveau parachute des armees remplacant l'EPI : il sera britannique ! Une socite britannique vient de remporter le contrat pour le remplacement des parachutes EPI. Aerazur a ete battu sur son terrain ! Evidemment, ils ont fait appel.....mais l'appel n'est pas suspensif et les livraisons des pepins brit devraient commencer en 2010. Lien vers le communique de presse: http://www.airborne-sys.com/press.htm Airborne Systems wins a breaktrough contract in France. Airborne Systems, a world leader in parachute systems, has won its first contract to provide a new troop parachute system for the French airborne forces. Under the contract with the DGA (Direction Générale de l’Armement), procurement executive of the French Ministry of Defence, more than 23,000 parachutes will be delivered under a multi-year programme. This comprises a combination of main and reserve parachutes, associated load carrying equipment and training systems. The new parachute known as “Ensemble de Parachutage du Combattant” (EPC) is replacing the existing parachute system, which has been in service for more than 20 years. The new static line operated non-steerable parachute will be used for mass low-level air drops, both in day and night time conditions. Airborne Systems’ European Division based in Llangeinor, South Wales, will manage the contract, which comprises delivery of equipment and associated documentation to support packing, training and maintenance of the new system. All the work under this contract will be performed in the European Union, using a number of international suppliers. Chris Rowe, Managing Director of Airborne Systems Europe, said: “Not only is this a major strategic breakthrough for us in France, but we have also reinforced our global leadership position in the parachute systems market. We now have a firm foothold in mainland Europe, which will help us to increase our market penetration.” The Group, already the major parachute supplier to the UK Ministry of Defence, has now won two major new troop parachute systems contracts in the last four months.

Service de semaine Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Il semble que la competition ait ete un gros sac de noeuds avec initialement une victoire d'Aerazur (FRA) conteste puis un deuxieme appel d'offre et la victoire brit (la moins disante) avec a a clef une nouvelle contestation d'Aerazur....ca devient une habitude.

alexandreVBCI Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 L'utilisation du nouveau parachute T-11 (20 % plus grand que le T-10 pour un posé "lent") utilisé depuis un an par l'armée américaine est suspendue suite à un accident de saut.A priori ce n'est pas le design carré du parachute qui est en cause mais son pliage."However, in the wake of the Fort Bragg death, Army officials have found “potential packing, inspection, quality control and functionality problems” with the T-11 parachute system.This may have just been a tragic case of inexperience in packing the new chute rather than a design flaw. We’ll see. In the meantime, the T-11 remains grounded until the investigation into the accident is complete."http://defensetech.org/2011/07/15/why-is-china-buying-mraps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
