Computer systems will be replaced to ensure security against cyber attacks, plus both their communications, as its sensors, which are at the origin DRBV-26D DRBV-15 DRBJ-11B and Arabel radar, will be modernized. Different French companies will participate in the work, contributing their latest advances in naval technology, Thales will modernize surveillance and fire control in antiaircraft missile carrying aircraft carrier, meanwhile replace the company Terma radar navigation.
Sagem will provide the ship of new plants inertial SIGMA 40 spin-laser technology to ensure a complete modernization of the navigation capacity and alignment of the ship, just as optronic systems will be replaced by new generation EOMS NG (Electro-Optical Multifunction System - New Generation). He also upgrade some control equipment and the system of landing DALAS (Dispositif d'Aide à L'appontage laser), which is vital for multiple air operations carried out on the aircraft carrier.

Russia-France Mistral Talks Expected to Continue in June
Russia and France will discuss the deal for the delivery of two Mistral-class helicopter carriers built for the Russian Navy in June after negotiators failed to reach an agreement in May, a source told RIA Novosti.
"The Mistral talks will definitely continue. No specific date has been set for the next meeting since last round of talks yielded no results. Both sides have to get ready for the talks," a source said, adding that the negotiations would take place in June.
Last week, a French team visited Moscow but the mediators were unable to achieve any progress since France laid down "absolutely unacceptable" terms. According to a source familiar with the situation, the French insisted on the "annulment of bank accounts" among other things.
Russia and France signed a $1.3 billion deal for the delivery of two Mistral-class ships in 2011.
The deliveries were put on hold in late 2014 over Moscow's alleged involvement in the Ukrainian civil war. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied these groundless claims and pushed for peace in the war-torn nation.
Should France fail to deliver the ships, Russia is entitled to a full refund, as well as penalties. In total, Moscow reportedly seeks $1.29 billion compensation, which France does not want to pay.
Russia wants $890 million already transferred to France back, as well as a compensation for the purchase of the equipment and crew training. France is reportedly willing to pay some $870 million, a sum Moscow deems unacceptable.

France Sends Battle Tanks to Poland
As NATO continues to beef up its presence in Eastern Europe, France has deployed a squad of Leclerc battle tanks into Poland for . It’s the latest example of the West accusing Russia of military aggression while it, in fact, takes steps toward establishing a stronger NATO.
On Monday, 15 Leclerc main battle tanks (MBTs) left France en route for Poland. Part of the 12ème Régiment de Cuirassiers, France has also deployed a platoon from the 16ème Bataillon de Chasseurs which includes four infantry fighting vehicles, and a platoon from the 13ème Régiment du Génie.
Only in service in 1992, the Leclerc’s aren’t exactly battle-hardened. Seeing minimal action in Kosovo and Lebanon, the tanks have never been used directly in a high-intensity conflict.
Earlier on Tuesday, Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski also indicated that he would negotiate with the United States to purchase medium-range Patriot defense missiles. This decision was in response to a vague, unspecified "threat from the east," mentioned by President Komorowski last year.
Some experts have suggested that the missile purchase could be a political move for the upcoming Polish elections in May.
"At a time of an armed conflict in Ukraine Bronislaw Komorowski wants to present himself as a strong commander-in-chief," political marketing specialist Wieslaw Galazka told Wirtualna Polska news.
Staff operate at the NATO Computer Incident Response Capability (NCIRC) technical center, at NATO's military headquarters SHAPE in Mons, southwestern Belgium, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013. The NCIRC protects NATO systems and information from any form of attack and from deliberate or accidental exposure.
The Western military alliance has also been increasing its presence in Baltic nations. Latvia has expressed its desire to host a permanent battalion of NATO troops.
"At the present moment, we are looking for an air defense system," Latvian Defense Minister Raimonds Vejonis told Sputnik on Tuesday. "Of course, we will discuss possible permanent NATO presence in the region – it is a key question for us."
NATO is also launching a series of cyber war exercises in Estonia. Though these are not officially in response to a perceived Russian threat, Rob Pritchard, a cybersecurity expert at the in London, indicated a likely connection.
"Russia is currently looming large on the NATO radar, and the exercise is likely to simulate attacks similar to those used by the Russian state, and state-backed actors," Pritchard was quoted by the Associated Press.

Boeing simply builds great aircraft. This is a video of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner rehearsing for the upcoming Paris Airshow. Amazing video. The take-off looks more extreme than it really is because of the angle the video was taken at...still, it is very impressive.
This is no really military...but since Boeing has converted aircraft in the past to military applications...this one would make a great example of that in the future. And since it is taking place at the Paris Air show....
