CONCLUSIONS .......................................................................................................................65 4 FONDATION pour la RECHERCHE STRATÉ GIQUE Présentation Ce document vise à s’intéresser : « … notamment aux plates-formes de type ballons et dirigeables, à l’intérêt d’avoir des plates-formes spécialisées ou non pour les missions de surveillance. Pour chaque catégorie, on identifiera les types de mission possibles et le coût global de possession ». Le présent travail se propose de passer en revue les différentes plates-formes susceptibles de répondre aux différentes missions de surveillance : avions de chasse, cargos légers, cargos lourds, satellites, drones, avions dronisés et bien sûr l’utilisation de ballons et de dirigeables habités ou non habités. Il semble illusoire dans le périmètre de cette étude d’approcher le coût global de possession des différentes plates-formes aéronautiques envisagées. Depuis des années le ministère de la Défense s’attache à le définir sans beaucoup d’avancées, sauf peut-être pour les derniers programmes lancés, tant le problème est lourd et complexe, surtout pour connaître les coûts de soutien. Cependant, il sera appliqué une méthode générique dans la comparaison des coûts d’acquisition et de soutien de ces différentes plates-formes afin de se faire une idée des coûts des plates-formes les unes par rapport aux autres. Dans un premier temps, sera effectuée une comparaison à partir des avantages et inconvénients présentés par chaque type de plates-formes en fonction de la mission prévue. Dans un deuxième temps, cette démarche générique des coûts sera appliquée aux types de plates-formes voisins pouvant répondre aux besoins. Ont été retenus pour cette étude les cargos légers, les drones, les ballons et les dirigeables mais il sera également fait allusion à d’autres porteurs existants lorsque la mission l’exige. Comme demandé, les aspects afférents aux ballons et aux dirigeables seront approfondis. Avant d’étudier les plates-formes porteuses, il est nécessaire de caractériser un peu mieux la mission de surveillance en fonction des effets recherchés et des capteurs embarqués. Sachant que c’est le but opérationnel recherché qui devrait, après analyse des données à recueillir, des capteurs nécessaires pour répondre aux besoins, des capacités d’emport de la plate-forme, aboutir au choix du vecteur le plus approprié ou disponible. FONDATION pour la RECHERCHE STRATÉ GIQUE 5 Caractérisation de la mission surveillance Généralités sur la mission Une mission de surveillance peut recouvrir plusieurs aspects en fonction du but final à atteindre. Elle peut demander de l’exploitation en temps quasi réel, comme pour une mission de reconnaissance ponctuelle, un appui aérien pour des troupes au contact (TIC), le déclenchement

Senior Project Manager Planning, Design and Construction Wayne County Airport Authority Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport 11050 Rogell Drive, Bldg #602 Detroit, MI 48242 01/16/2018 Noise Modeling Technical Memorandum for the Runway 3L-21R Reconstruction at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport HNTB was tasked to assist the Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) in preparing technical analyses to support the development of a Documented Categorical Exclusion (CatEx) by Synergy Consultants, Inc. This technical memo evaluates the potential temporary noise impacts related to the reconstruction of Runway 3L-21R at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). The runway reconstruction is scheduled to take place during the 2019 construction season. The Future Scenario representing construction year activity was based on projected 2020 activity levels to take advantage of forecast analyses previously prepared for the Master Plan Update (MPU). As such, it is conservative since it slightly overestimates the noise and air quality impacts. This technical report documents the development of the Existing Condition (2017) and Future Scenario (2020) noise contours included in the CatEx submission. 1 Fleet Mix Forecast Fleet mixes, including aircraft types, number and hour of operations, and flight distance, are one of the major components of modeling noise in the vicinity of an airport. This section describes the available forecasts, data sources, assumptions, and methodologies applied in the fleet mix development. 1.1 Available Forecasts There are several national and local forecasts available for DTW.
