Jeudi 25 septembre, l'armée de terre française a présenté ses objectifs pour les mois et années à venir. À la lumière des combats en Ukraine, elle se prépare à un champ de bataille plus contesté, plus étendu et plus transparent, où robots et drones seront omniprésents. Pierre Schill, chef d'état-major de l'armée de Terre s'appuie sur les chiffres : chaque jour, sur le front ukrainien, 1 500 soldats russes sont mis hors de combat, dit-il. Une attrition vertigineuse qui ne serait pas supportable pour l'armée française. Sur le champ de bataille, les machines seront donc bientôt dédiées à subir les chocs les plus rudes, analyse le général Bruno Baratz en charge du commandement du combat futur.  « Le champ de bataille de demain ressemble curieusement à celui d'aujourd'hui, mais avec plus de robotisation et de "dronisation". L'augmentation de la transparence du champ de bataille, rendue possible par la multiplication des capteurs spatiaux, acoustiques, terrestres et avec l'exploitation de ces données par l'intelligence artificielle, crée une forme de transparence du champ de bataille, explique-t-il. On voit bien que c'est un univers qui est devenu très hostile pour la présence des soldats et des êtres humains, et qu'on arrive à compenser cela aujourd'hui par plus de robots, ce qui amènera un peu de masse et surtout protègera beaucoup plus nos hommes ». Deux capacités ont été rapidement développées pour durcir les forces : le canon antidrones Proteus et le Mepac, un mortier embarqué et non plus tracté, qui démultiplie la puissance de feu des unités d'infanterie, précise le général Schill : « S'agissant des Mepac, c'est-à-dire ce mortier de 120 mm embarqué à bord d'un Griffon [véhicule blindé médian - NDLR], nous en avons commandé 54. Les premiers arrivent. Ils ont été déployés au sein du troisième régiment d'artillerie de marine à Canjuers. Mon objectif est que tout début 2026, je sois en mesure de déployer en opération une première unité avec ces mortiers. S'agissant du Proteus, c'est-à-dire ce canon de 20 mm auquel nous avons adjoint une couche d'intelligence artificielle de façon à pouvoir lutter contre les drones, les premiers sont déjà déployés dans l'armée de terre, au sein notamment du 35ème régiment d'artillerie parachutiste de Tarbes. On va monter l'an prochain à un volume d'une cinquantaine de canons. Ils peuvent être déployés en opération dès aujourd'hui, si c'était nécessaire ». À lire aussiAu Salon des forces spéciales, les drones militaires s'imposent pour tous types de missions « Il faudrait 77 000 opérateurs de drones » La robotique terrestre fait son apparition : Pandragon, une première unité, composée de 20 robots d'abord utilisés pour les taches logistiques, sera opérationnelle à l'été 2026. Un escadron de drones va également voir le jour. La doctrine d'emploi s'écrit maintenant, les drones d'attaque vont venir compléter la traditionnelle artillerie et donner de l'allonge aux troupes au sol, insiste Bruno Baratz : « L'objectif pour nous, c'est d'éviter que l'ennemi se concentre sur la zone de front et donc d'être en mesure de le frapper le plus loin possible et d'éviter justement les concentrations de force à proximité de nos brigades, de façon à leur faciliter la manœuvre. La tendance générale, c'est bien le développement de ces feux dans la profondeur, même pour une unité d'infanterie qui ira tirer au-delà des vues directes. On voit arriver les munitions téléopérées, ces drones qui sont capables d'amener des charges à différentes distances et qui vont venir compléter finalement le travail de l'artillerie. » Il faut désormais des soldats, à la fois plus durcis et plus innovants, martèle le chef d'état-major de l'armée de Terre, le général Pierre Schill : « Nous devons recruter une partie de nos soldats ou de nos cadres dans ces nouvelles techniques, de manière à avoir des soldats pour le brouillage, pour l'emploi des drones, pour l'emploi des communications. La montée en technique de l'armée de terre est une réalité. J'ai 77 000 soldats dans la force opérationnelle terrestre, donc il me faudrait 77 000 opérateurs de drones, chacun dans son domaine. » L'armée de terre vit une révolution, avec l'usage illimité des drones et de la robotique, elle est en passe de devenir une armée de combattants techniciens.

Décoration, design, création, savoir-faire, ces mots vous parlent ? Alors vous êtes au bon endroit ! Aujourd'hui on va parler d'un sujet qui n'avait encore jamais été abordé dans DECODEUR : les toilettes. Or les toilettes ne sont pas un détail. C'est un sujet dont on parle trop peu alors qu'il nous concerne tous et que, vous allez voir, est passionnant… allez go chez Griffon, une marque qui se distingue sur 2 aspects depuis les années 50 : une fabrication française qui valorise le savoir faire local et un style rétro, raffiné, notamment grâce à des couleurs aussi subtiles qu'un nuancier de peinture. Oui les toilettes peuvent être belles, confortables, robustes et responsables, tout en intégrant des contraintes techniques et des innovations… c'est d'ailleurs tout ce dont on va discuter avec François Mounier le CEO de Griffon. Ici on parle des éléments essentiels qui constituent les toilettes et les 2 grands modèles qui existent au moment du choixdes modèles iconiques de Griffon et ce qui fait leur différence en quoi ils sont géniaux pour personnaliser son intérieur grâce à un très joli nuancier de couleurs ce qu'on a tendance à trop négliger au moment de l'achatl'importance de défendre les circuits courts et le made in France, ce qui n'est pas tjrs plus cherdu sujet ultra sensible de l'immense consommation d'eau versus la solution des eaux grises de rester humble dans un univers fortement concurrentieldes meilleures innovations à venir de l'histoire familiale de Griffon et de la vision de François depuis son arrivée de sa petite équipe et de ses grands défis à venir et bien sûr de quelques anecdotes car ce sujet ne doit pas être tabou !Si ce podcast vous plait n'hésitez pas

For the majority of the year, most birds stay under 500 feet. During migration, many species fly at 2,000 to 5,000 feet or above, using prevailing winds to assist them. And some birds go even higher! In 1973, a Rüppell's Griffon set the world record by soaring to 37,000 feet.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

What drives someone to choose the demanding — and often dangerous — career of Search and Rescue pilot? What early experiences shaped their paths, and what does it really take to fly missions where lives hang in the balance?In this episode, we sit down with three remarkable guests:Lieutenant-Colonel Luc Coates, Commanding Officer of 418 Search and Rescue Operational Training SquadronLieutenant-Colonel Francois Fasquelle, Commanding Officer of 442 Transport and Rescue SquadronMajor Dan Faux, a subject matter expert on the CC-295 KingfisherTogether, they share stories from their diverse beginnings, the lessons they've carried forward, and what ultimately led them to the unique world of SAR and Canada's newest fixed-wing SAR aircraft, the Kingfisher.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Yesterday, aircraft from Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan airdropped dozens of pallets of humanitarian aid in the northern and southern Gaza Strip. This morning, Israel says more than 120 truckloads of food aid were distributed by the UN and aid agencies in the Gaza Strip on the first day of a partial pause in fighting. Berman explores how Israel's currently softened position is playing out on the global stage and compares it to previous cycles in which Israel allowed more aid into the Strip. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to press US President Donald Trump on ending “the unspeakable suffering” in Gaza when they meet at the US president’s golf resort in Scotland today, according to a Downing Street spokesperson says. The meeting at Turnberry, southwestern Scotland, comes as European countries express growing alarm at the situation in Gaza. What is Trump currently saying about the war in Gaza? Foreign Ministry director general Eden Bar-Tal summoned France’s deputy ambassador Mikaël Griffon for a reprimand at ministry headquarters in Jerusalem yesterday, over French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement last week that Paris would recognize a Palestinian state. During the dressing down, he accused France of undermining talks for a hostage release deal with Hamas, as well as future negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. Berman delves into the idea that all the pressure on Israel to end the war -- and this "prize" of a state to the Palestinian people -- could harm the ceasefire negotiations and drag out the war with an emboldened Hamas. And we ask, is the UK set to follow France's example? And finally, the home of a Chabad rabbi in Dnipro was hit during a deadly Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city early Saturday. We learn about the "Shabbat miracle" that saved his family and hear what is happening with the Jewish community in Ukraine as the war marks some 1250 days. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: Once again, Israel tried to restrict Gaza aid.
