A two-rail electric rail gun would be expected to have a range of 200 kilometers compared to 40 kilometers from a conventional gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some 70 small and medium-sized enterprises, or SME, and laboratories backed by government funding will attend the business-to-business event, with a view to winning contracts and a quickened integration into programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The firms and labs receive government backing through the Astrid and Rapid funding programs, a DGA spokesman said. The DGA and National Research Agency granted Astrid a 2017 budget of \u20ac8 million (U.S. $9 million) for 28 companies, while Rapid\u2019s \u20ac50 million annual budget is backed by DGA and the Economy and Finance Ministry for both military and civilian technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials of the DGA and Bpifrance, a state-owned bank, will present the newly launched \u20ac50 million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2017\/11\/16\/france-invests-in-ventures-focused-on-advanced-defense-tech\/\" title=\"\">Definvest equity fund<\/a>. The fund aims to invest in SMEs working on advanced technology and is intended to keep those French firms safe from foreign investors looking to acquire access to sensitive military information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twelve startups will have a chance to pitch their projects in a \u201cspeed meeting\u201d to potential industrial partners, according to Val\u00e9rie Lecasble, the Armed Forces Ministry\u2019s spokeswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other projects include Lisa HD, a radar telecommunications system, and Douf, an intuitive laser-pointing device, which Naval Group will fit on the French Navy\u2019s Lafayette frigate in a midlife upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the sixth Innovation Forum show, which is held at \u00c9cole Polytechnique, an elite university under the auspices of the Armed Forces Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the themes at the exhibition are digital transformation, energy, materials, radar and telecommunications, and nuclear, biological and chemical protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some 70
