The program covers a fleet of 18 aircraft. Dassault Aviation will deliver a further five upgraded ATL2s in the period 2020-2023. In parallel, the SIA\u00e9 aeronautical maintenance center will upgrade 11 aircraft.\u00a9&nbsp;&nbsp;Dassault Aviation \u2013 C. Cosmao<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard 6 includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>new radar: Thales Search Master with active antenna,<\/li><li>new Thales acoustic subsystem to gather and process signals from the latest-generation air-dropped sonobuoys for submarine detection,<\/li><li>new navigation console designed by Dassault Aviation,<\/li><li>new consoles for the tactical display subsystem, developed by SIA\u00e9.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The upgrade work is performed by Dassault Aviation and Thales (co-contractors), in association with Naval Group and in cooperation with SIA\u00e9. Architect of the combat system, Dassault Aviation is as well responsible for development of the core system including LOTI\u00a0software designed by Naval Group. Dassault Aviation is also in charge of overall integration of all subsystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the specifications for this program were established using the PLM Syst\u00e8mes tool as part of a Dassault Aviation-Thales-Naval Group-SIA\u00e9 collaborative work platform installed at St-Cloud in the Dassault Aviation design office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard 6 upgrade will improve the ATL2s\u2019 capability to support the Strategic Ocean Force, to deal with modern threats (future nuclear or conventional submarines, naval forces at sea, etc.) and to support air-land missions, until 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>France is one of the very few countries producing high-technology maritime patrol aircraft combining detection (optronics, radar, acoustics) with a variety of weapons (anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, laser-guided weapons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThis expertise as an architect of maritime patrol solutions, both for the platform and for systems integration, is the result of experience dating back to the late 1950s and the launch of the ATL1 program, the predecessor of the ATL2. Dassault Aviation has extended this experience, from the 1970s onwards, with the maritime surveillance Falcons, the latest version of which is the Falcon 2000 MRA-based Albatros program. As we have shown once again with the standard 6, this maritime patrol\/maritime surveillance expertise builds largely on the trust and the excellent working relations between our company, the DGA and the French Navy, to which I express my sincere gratitude. We will leverage this know-how to prepare together maritime patrol solutions beyond 2030\u201d,\u00a0<\/em>declared Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/453669765.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/453669765.jpg 752w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/453669765-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer, Lann-Bihou\u00e9 French naval air station received the first two ATL2 maritime patrol aircraft upgraded by Dassault Aviation.
