Question 40662 — défense

France · National Assembly · 7 October 2021

M. Patrick Hetzel interroge Mme la ministre des armées sur le devenir du programme MAWS ( Maritime Airbone Warfare System ) développé conjointement avec l'Allemagne. En effet, ce programme vise à créer pour 2035 un avion de patrouille maritime franco-allemand afin de remplacer les Atlantique 2 de l'aéronautique navale française et les P-3C Orion de la marine allemande. Il s'agit là d'un important projet de coopération franco-allemande qui avait donné lieu à un accord entre le président Macron et la chancelière Merkel. Le Gouvernement compte-t-il bien maintenir ce projet ou alors est-il question d'un « plan B » qui consisterait à se passer de l'Allemagne pour ce patrouilleur maritime ? La presse spécialisée indique de plus en plus fréquemment que la France miserait désormais sur le Falcon 10X de Dassault aviation et Thales. Il souhaite connaître les intentions de la France en la matière car un revirement stratégique en la matière ne serait pas neutre pour la coopération franco-allemande notamment en matière de défense.
