KNDS France mise sur l’intercepteur AXS-µ1 d’Aerix Systems pour son système de lutte antidrone TARGAS DSP10

KNDS France mise sur l’intercepteur AXS-µ1 d’Aerix Systems pour son système de lutte antidrone TARGAS DSP10 | LAD & C-UAS | Scoop.it
Lors du dernier salon de l’armement aéroterrestre EuroSatory, KNDS France a présenté le dispositif TARGAS [pour Tactical Advanced Response for Ground, Air and Surface threat], qu’il a décrit comme étant son «premier écosystème» de lutte antidrone [C-UAV] multicouche entièrement intégré et autonome, de la détection des menaces à leur neutralisation.

L’idée de déployer une sorte de «dôme» antidrone n’est pas nouvelle. L’an passé, celui développé par l’entreprise française Alta Arès pour assurer une défense multicouche contre les drones aériens dans un rayon de 30 km, en associant radars, logiciel de fusion de données et drones intercepteurs, a ainsi été validé par l’Otan.

Cela étant, la solution proposée par KNDS France ne se limite pas à la détection et à la neutralisation des seuls drones aériens puisqu’elle est censée offrir une protection non seulement contre les munitions rôdeuses, les missiles et autres aéronefs volants à basse altitude mais aussi contre les véhicules terrestres [du robot jusqu’aux blindés légers et lourds] et les menaces navales.

Pour cela, TARGAS s’appuie sur différents capteurs et effecteurs. Ainsi, TARGAS 30 se compose d’un radar et d’un canon ARX 30 de 30 mm montés sur un véhicule blindé multirôle léger Serval. Cette version peut aussi recourir au système RAPIDFire, c’est-à-dire à un canon 40 CT associé à des algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle.

Enfin, TARGAS DSP10 [pour DroneShield Protector, d’une portée de 10 km] constitue le troisième pilier de ce dispositif. Comme l’explique KNDS France, il s’agit d’un système combinant des drones intercepteurs et des «effecteurs de neutralisation non létale permettant la capture de drones ou de munitions télécommandées à proximité de la zone défendue».

Ce 24 septembre, KNDS France a précisé une partie des solutions retenues pour le TARGAS DSP 10. Ainsi, s’agissant de la neutralisation «non létale» des drones, l’industriel mise sur le système de guerre électronique Raptor 2 développé par Nuances Technologies. Système qui sera associé, a-t-il confirmé, au drone intercepteur AXS-μ1 d’Aerix Systems.

Cet appareil, explique KNDS France, est conçu pour assurer une neutralisation physique par impact direct [« Hit-to-Kill »], de manière entièrement autonome». Et d’ajouter : «Il vise notamment à répondre à la menace croissante des drones FPV [à pilotage immersif], en apportant une nouvelle capacité d’interception aérienne à TARGAS».

Pouvant voler à la vitesse de 200 km/h, contre des vents de 100 km/h, l’AXS-μ1 a une portée de 20 km et dispose d’une autonomie de 10 minutes. Selon Aerix Systems, il «marque la fin de l’aéronautique conventionnelle» car de drone «introduit une liberté totale de mouvement», en ce sens qu’il n’est pas «limité par des trajectoires linéaires et des contraintes de poussée fixes».

«Conçu autour d’une propulsion omnidirectionnelle native, il ne se contente pas de naviguer dans l’espace : il le maîtrise en s’affranchissant des schémas de vol traditionnels», insiste son constructeur.

Dans le cadre de la coopération qu’il vient de sceller avec Aerix Systems, KNDS France s’est engagé à accompagner la «montée en maturité» de l’AXS- µ1 ainsi que sa production dès 2027.

«En associant les compétences de KNDS en tant qu’architecte de solutions complètes de mission et ses capacités industrielles aux technologies de robotique aérienne d’Aerix Systems, cette coopération permettra d’accélérer le développement d’une solution d’interception souveraine et évolutive, adaptée aux besoins opérationnels des forces terrestres», a conclu l’industriel.
