Dassault will prioritize Rafale jets and UCAVs ahead of FCAS

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/01/2023 - 08:31am Military

The president of the French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation said this week that he will prioritize the production of Rafale fighters in the near future to meet new orders.

CEO Eric Trappier said that the company's supply meets the current needs of the military.

"The Rafale F5 is currently the main priority of Dassault Aviation, long before the future FCAS combat air system (SCAF in French) and combat drones (UCAVs) such as the nEUROn," Trapier said on August 29.

Trappier said that Rafale jets offer an alternative in favor of France for those who do not want to buy Russian and American aircraft, BFMTV reported.

Saying that they have orders until 2032, he noted that they will focus on increasing the production of Rafale warplanes.

The lowest priority given by Dassault to FCAS confirms the impression given by the company at the Paris air show in June.

The Future Combat Air System (FCAS), the European air defense system on which Germany, France and Spain are working together, is another long-term goal of the company, he added.

Dassault began working on a demonstration aircraft at its headquarters in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Cloud, with German and Spanish teams. Dassault leads the New Generation Fighter (NGF) component of the program.

The FCAS is expected to enter service in 2040.

But for Eric Trappier, the priority remains the future F5 standard of his Rafale fighter.

"It will arrive after 2030, then there are the drones. So, the future fighter planes will come after that. We are in this for the short term, the medium term and the very long term," explains Eric Trappier.

Recently, India announced its intention to buy 26 Rafale M for its naval aviation, and another 18 were ordered by Indonesia, bringing total export sales to date to 311 aircraft.

This represents twice the export sales of Eurofighter (151 aircraft), Saab Gripen (102 aircraft including those in long-term lease) and Boeing Super Hornet (48 aircraft).

Le Théâtre du Rond-Point

Le Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées ponctue le cheminement d'un piéton les remontant, en un contournement circulaire. Au sud de celui-ci, au sein de l'ancien Carré des Jeux des Jardins des Champs, se trouve le bien nommé Théâtre du Rond-Point.

Tout comme le Théâtre Marigny proche, il s'agissait à l'origine d'un panorama, structure immersive plongeant les visiteurs au centre d'une peinture panoramique se développant tout autour d'eux sur 360°, d'où sa forme de rotonde. En 1839, l'architecte Jacques Ignace Hittorff édifie en ce lieu un premier panorama en rotonde, qui se retrouvera intégré aux bâtiments constituant l'Exposition Universelle de 1855, avant d’être détruit l'année suivante. C'est en 1860 qu'est élevé le bâtiment actuel, par le grand architecte du Second Empire Gabriel Davioud, prenant pour nom le Panorama National. La Rotonde du Panorama abrita de 1893 à 1980 une patinoire célèbre, Le Palais de Glace. Il fallut attendre 1981 pour que cette rotonde se transforme en théâtre, avec l'arrivée de la compagnie Renaud-Barrault et leur structure mobile en provenance de l'éphémère théâtre d'Orsay, en l'ancienne gare d'Orsay, où de grands travaux s'amorcent alors pour y instaurer un musée national... Jean-Louis Barrault et Madeleine Renaud inaugurent ce nouveau théâtre avec un spectacle qui fera date: L'amour de l'amour. S'y alternent durant la décennie suivante pièces contemporaines et spectacles extrême-orientaux, jusqu'à sa reprise par une association dirigée par Robert Abirached, qui charge l'architecte Jean-Michel Wilmotte de réaménager les lieux, les divisant en une grande et une petite salle, créant à cette occasion un espace d'exposition, une librairie et un restaurant donnant sur l'extérieur (comme à Marigny). En 1995, le nouveau directeur Marcel Maréchal remodèle la grande salle (d'une capacité de 760 places), prenant en hommage le nom de Renaud-Barrault. Le Théâtre du Rond-Point est dirigé depuis maintenant vingt ans par le metteur-en-scène Jean-Michel Ribes, dont le cheval de bataille est d'encourager la création contemporaine, ne produisant et diffusant que des spectacles d'artistes vivants, avec une communication originale par le biais d'affiches illustrées depuis 2004 par le dessinateur de BD Stéphane Trapier.

L'ancienne entrée du théâtre, côté jardin, présente encore son portique d'origine, aux colonnes corinthiennes surmontées d'un fronton rappelant la vocation première de la rotonde, avec un programme pérennisé pour l'éternité, de représentations des grandes batailles napoléoniennes.

The North Island Lighthouse

Located 10 miles from Georgetown, South Carolina overlooking the Winyah Bay is the North Island Lighthouse. This lighthouse has a history back into the early days of America. Land was donated in 1789 on North Island by Revolutionary War Patriot Paul Trapier but it took till 1801 for the first lighthouse to be built.

It was a 72 foot pyramid type tower made out of Cypress wood that readily grew in the swamps in the area. Along with the lighthouse, a 2-story lighthouse keeper’s house was built along with a tank to hold whale oil. The whale oil was used to keep the six foot wide lantern lit to warn ships of the shoal ridden bay during the many unexpected storms that would slam the little island. Unfortunately the mighty storms won out over the wooden lighthouse and it was destroyed in 1806.

It wouldn’t be until 1811 that a 72 foot brick replacement was built. It stood strong against the bad storms but not against man. During the Civil War, the Confederates used the North Island Lighthouse as a lookout station. Union forces captured it in 1862 but the lighthouse was heavily damaged. After the war, the tower was repaired and heightened to 86 ft. The North Island Lighthouse was a manned station until 1986 when the U.S. Coast Guard automated the light.

It is the manned part of the station that produced the haunted story surrounding the lighthouse. The story is about a lighthouse keeper and his daughter. Though the story is consistent, the year the accident occurred is harder to pin down but most point to the time the second tower was built in 1811.

A widowed lighthouse keeper was sent to the island and he was accompanied by his daughter, Annie. Like most fathers, Annie was the light in his eyes and would help him around the lighthouse and other duties that needed to be done. Since a boat was the only way to get to the North Island Lighthouse, when supplies got low, the lighthouse keeper and his daughter would row across the bay into Georgetown.

On their return trip one fateful evening, a fierce storm blew in unexpectedly. Seeing he was only a quarter of the way from getting home, the lighthouse keeper tied his daughter to his back and swam the rest of the way to shore. The trip through the high sea left him in shock, exhausted and not remembering even getting to shore. Unfortunately when he awoke on the beach, he found his daughter still tied to his back but she had drowned.

From that terrible day to today mariners in the bay have reported a young girl on their ships warning them to “Go Back”. It is claimed that inevitably, even on calm sunny days, an unanticipated storm follow these sightings.
