Atos and the Ministry of Defence at the heart of Operation Sentinelle with Auxylium
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Auxylium - the armed forces' information, control and communication system for
homeland operations
Paris, 20(th) April 2017 - Atos, global leader in digital transformation,
extends its contract for 18 months to support Auxylium, the information, control
and communication solution used by the French Armed Forces for domestic
operations, co-developed by Atos and the French Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Selected by the Armed Forces to be used as part of Operation Sentinelle,
Auxylium aims to offset the risk of civilian and military mobile telephone
networks becoming overloaded in operational emergencies. This encrypted and
reliable communication solution also ensures the smooth running of operational
command. This project is part of a major digital transformation for the French
Ministry of Defence.
This renewed contract reflects the relationship of trust between Atos and the
MoD, established in 2013. The Auxylium solution is the result of a unique co-
innovation process and a successful industrialisation phase, completed in record
time for the opening of the Euro 2016. Since then, Auxylium has equipped and
supported the Operation Sentinelle forces on the ground.
Auxylium - technology and innovation tailored for ground operations:
* A tactical and ultra-secure smartphone: based on the technological blocks
developed by the experts in the Atos Hoox team, with a tailored version of
Android, the smartphone is optimised ergonomically, has a lighter weight and
a reduced energy consumption;
* Complete redesign of the Android operating system for native security
(security add-on module developed by Atos)
* Full safe-start (Boot)
* Protected device and Secure access to IT
- Applications tailored for threats and use on the ground, such as
the "digital wall" which has tactical orders and geolocalized imaging of events
on maps or satellite photos, the "Push-To-Talk multicast", a unique service for
encoded dynamic conferencing or even voice synthesis to reduce the need to look
at the screen;
* Constant availability with the remote "Helium" radio module which balances
the network: communication automatically and securely switches to the
highest available bandwidth, whether it is on the military or civilian 4G
network.
* An electronic card developed by Atos is at the core of the Helium module
system
* Energy and radio links are also managed by Atos' technologies
Drone management planned in the next version
The next version, scheduled for the end of the year, is planned to include new
innovations such as geomatic stations allowing maximum geographical data to be
integrated, and even the management of connected devices such as drones.
Commenting on the collaboration between Atos and the MoD, Captain Jean-Baptiste
Colas, Officer of the Homeland Programme, states: "This project with Atos has
been an amazing human adventure and it illustrates the extraordinary ability of
the French industry to innovate in order to respond to today's challenges."
Jean-Marie Simon, Chief Executive of Atos in France, adds: "Atos is proud to
have contributed to this exceptional project, devoted to innovation and
operational excellence. All of our teams are ready and working together to
respond to this difficult and nationally-significant challenge, serving our
citizens."
Its mobile resilience and high-speed capabilities, combined with a high level of
security enables Auxylium to be positioned already as a key solution for
homeland security, local civilian security and the protection of at-risk
industrial businesses as identified by the States ("Opérateurs d'Importance
Vitale").
