Eviden announces SICS ALAT, the combat
information system of the SCORPION
program, to be embedded in the aircraft of the French Army Light
Aviation by 2026
EUROSATORY, Villepinte, France – June
17, 2024 - Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in
digital, cloud, big data and security, today announces that the
French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA), via the Defense Digital
Agency (AND), has entrusted it with the development and deployment
of SICS1 ALAT2. This system onboard the ALAT (French Army Light
Aviation) aircraft is part of the French army's ramp-up of its
collaborative combat capabilities. This new information system will
replace the existing systems by 2026.
SICS ALAT enables ALAT aircraft to be networked
with land-based tactical information systems in an interoperable,
coherent, and unified way, thus creating the SCORPION air-land
tactical bubble.
SICS ALAT is a complete and unique
digitalization solution for army helicopters, ensuring the
continuity of the digitized command chain of air-land combat,
capable of providing patrol leaders and helicopter crews with
knowledge of the tactical situation in their area of interest and
the rapid exchange of information in data transmission. A major
technical achievement, this advanced version of SICS is designed to
be fully interoperable with the original system, while adapting to
the constraints specific to aeronautics: three dimensions,
movement, speed, ergonomics adapted to cockpits, and security.
Eviden is drawing on its experience of the SICS program and its
close collaboration with the DGA, the French Army and operational
crews, to meet the challenges of intuitiveness and ease of use to
optimize operational acceptance of the system.
As a defense manufacturer, Eviden, through its
Mission-Critical Systems (MCS) business line, designs and develops
both the information system and the on-board computers that will be
integrated into the aircraft to meet the challenges of the ALAT.
Drawing on its experience in the design and manufacture of onboard
electronics for the military aerospace industry, and its range of
MLS Gateway solutions, Eviden is able to offer a computer adapted
to the sizing and connectivity constraints of currently operational
aircraft (2005-2010 generation), while providing tenfold increase
in computing power. This design meets the challenges of
availability and operational scalability for armed forces since it
does not require current aircraft to be re-qualified.
SICS ALAT demonstrates Eviden MCS’s ability to
meet the needs of collaborative combat and digital defense with an
end-to-end on-board operational solution for sharing and
maintaining the tactical situation, able to communicate with its
ecosystem thanks to on-board computing power.
Fabrice Laclef, Director of
Mission-Critical Systems (MCS) for France, Eviden, Atos
Group said: " This unique project, which embodies the
know-how of Eviden's Mission-Critical Systems business line, once
again proves our expertise in defense, and demonstrates the trust
placed in us by the French Army. This project is the fruit of the
expertise and collaboration of various teams, to deliver a complete
and innovative solution to the Army.”
