Lors de la Guerre du Golfe, et dans le cadre de l’opération Salamandre, en septembre 1990, le porte-avions Clemenceau avait rejoint l’Arabie Saoudite avec, à son bord, des hélicoptères Gazelle et Puma ainsi que des camions et des véhicules légers. Peut-être que cet épisode a inspiré le ministère britannique de la Défense… En juillet 2008, […]

A new promising defence-related project on Energy Storage Technology was launched by EDA at a kick-off meeting on 11 March. The so-called NEXTT project standing for “New Energy storage using compleX hydride Tanks for Thermoneutral systems”, was initiated by the European Defence Agency in the framework of the second Joint Investment Programme on Innovative Concepts and Emerging Technologies (JIP ICET 2).
The project’s objective is to develop a new energy storage system for hydrogen, using new materials and advanced tank solutions with the following targets: high gravimetric density for high mobility of the system; high volumetric density for compactness and practicability of the system; and optimized heat absorption leading to low heat losses and thus reduced thermal signature of the overall system.
The NEXTT project demonstrates and reflects in an exemplary manner the key idea behind the JIP ICET 2 programme, namely to involve the full spectrum of entities in the R&T cycle, ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) over research centres to big industry, as the end-user of the technology development. The NEXTT consortium is led by a spin-off SME of an Austrian University (Forschungs- und Technologietransfer GmbH, FOTEC) with two major research centres (Fraunhofer IFAM, Germany, and Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives CEA, France), as well as an industrial end-user (DCNS Group, France) also participating. This bandwidth allows the consortium to cover all aspects of the targeted development from research in advanced materials and system integration up to the military application. The NEXTT project also promotes civil-military synergies and dual-use technologies as it aims to transfer technologies and knowledge already used by the space industry to the defence sector for further development. The launch of NEXTT completes the lists of projects which had been earmarked under JIP ICET 2 in view of fostering the development of new, innovative technologies that have potential to enable future military capabilities. JIP ICET 2 is managed and funded by Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden in the framework of the EDA.

The fingerprints and – according to Belga – DNA of Salah Abdeslam have been found in a flat raided by police in Brussels this week, the Belgian prosecutors confirmed on Friday.
Six Belgian and French Police Officers raided an apartment on Tuesday, March 15. The officers believed it would be vacant, as both water and electricity supply had been cut off. During the raid, they found three men: one was killed on site, two escaped.
Three officers were wounded on the spot. Throughout Tuesday afternoon a shootout continued in the Forest quarter and two suspects managed to escape. One more police officer was wounded during.
Belgian media speculate now that Frenchman Abdeslam, 26, was one of the two people who evaded arrest. The information has yet to be confirmed by the police.
Abseldslam is thought to be one of the leading figures of the November 13, 2015 attack in Paris that had a toll of 130 civilian casualties. His brother Brahim also participated as a suicide bomber.
If this information is verified, this would be the second time the police miss Abdelslam. Immediately after the attacks, Abdeslam was driven to Brussels by friends Mohammed Amri and Hamza Attou. They were stopped by the police, who let them go as the suspects had not been at the time identified.
The suspect killed in the Forest apartment during the raid on Tuesday was identified as the 35 year old Algerian illegal immigrant, Mohamed Belkaid. He was only known to the police for one case of robbery. Belkaid was killed by snipers.
