Cegelec: responding effectively
to defence and security requirements
For more than 40 years, Cegelec has responded effectively to the needs of armed forces,
creating and maintaining trust with its customers in all countries. The company relies in particular
on its ability to propose innovative solutions, its skills in delivering complex projects on time
and on budget, and the focus on service that forms an integral part of the Cegelec culture.
S T R A T E G Y
Joint armed force transmission network
—Cegelec provides strategic installations
that are subject to rigorous confidentiality
constraints.
egelec offers global project management
and high-level skills. It also provides basic
services with limited technical content
and supplies specific products in very small or medium
production runs. Whenever defence officials and those
undertaking defence and security projects require
such services, they can always count on Cegelec.
C
Cegelec has long-standing partnerships with
armed forces in the most demanding areas. In
all countries, Cegelec has received the highest levels
of accreditation, enabling it to work on confidential
projects in sovereign areas such as strategic command
circuits, armament systems, protection systems and
advanced operational techniques.
Cegelec has created a hot aircraft refuelling system
for NATO, submarines for the Chilean Navy and
the deterrent system for France. Cegelec's
accreditations prove that it complies with the security
requirements and other constraints of the military
environment.

The most economical solutions
This is what Cegelec provides. It has proven
technical expertise, dedicated skills centres
and business managers, and extensive human
resources and logistics support provided by its
international network of local subsidiaries.
Meeting the challenges
of integration
Military hardware must be integrated into complex
systems in confined spaces. This requires expertise
in managing major projects involving multiple
providers, and skills in a wide range of techniques:
electricity, mechanical engineering, climate control,
telecoms and control systems.
Cegelec is particularly well-known for its ability to
meet integration challenges in a hostile environment
or in small spaces. It designs and builds transmission,
command and logistics shelters, selects the
most suitable maintenance solutions for ventilation
and pressurisation installations in projection
and command ships for the French Navy,
and responds rapidly to specific armed force
requirements by using skills already developed.
I N T E R - A L L I E D
P R O J E C T S
Armed forces and security forces expect a global
service provider to be able to offer the best and
most cost-effective solutions, with the most
innovative techniques and the most skilled experts.

RESPONDING TO
POWER PROJECTION
NEEDS
As an integrator of complex
systems that must often
meet very specific standards,
Cegelec is able to offer
the most appropriate response
to requirements in terms
of mobility, projection in
external theatres of operation,
and interoperability.
Productivity enhanced
by extensive industry experience
Through its industrial project management
business, Cegelec is accustomed to the global
execution and handling of a project. In the defence
and security sectors, this allows Cegelec to offer
customers improved process management, which
enhances quality and reduces lead times and costs.

Le Triomphant
—For a maintenance contract awarded by DCN
in 2002, Cegelec was able to mobilise
150 highly skilled technicians and engineers
in less than one month.
CEGELEC: PARTNER
IN DCN’S PERFORMANCE
PROGRAMME
DCN has appointed Cegelec as a
partner in its Performance
programme to improve processes and
reduce total shipbuilding costs.
Cegelec makes its worldwide multi-technical
experience available to all its customers, handling
all aspects of projects and acting as an industrial
project manager for systems or sub-systems.
This means that it designs, builds, qualifies and
integrates these systems, in addition to providing
MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) services.
Cegelec’s asset is its ability to be involved in projects
at a very early stage, which is crucial if complex
integration work is to be successful.
This is based on the experience
Cegelec gained in Chantiers de
l'Atlantique's Cap 21 programme in
1999, which resulted in a 20% boost
to productivity in three years.
A powerful and responsive group
Cegelec can rapidly mobilise the human and technical
resources needed to meet its customers' requirements.
Based on experience gained in major nuclear
maintenance and construction projects, Cegelec
is able to meet sudden and short-term needs for
highly qualified staff.
As part of the MRO contract for the SSBN
Le Triomphant, once Cegelec had been notified
that it had won the contract, it took a mere
month to put together a team of 150 staff
and all the necessary operational equipment
to start work.

C O M M A N D
By doing this, Cegelec can offer the latest and
most high-performance techniques, making use of
its integration skills, to optimise the use of space
within installations in order to make maintenance
operations easier.
Deployable command
post shelters
—These projectable army command
shelters are interoperable in a
multinational context.
A long-standing area of expertise:
network integration and related services
Forty years ago, Cegelec was involved in creating the first strategic command systems
installations and ground networks for the French Defence Ministry. Since then, on behalf
of French defence procurement agency DGA, Cegelec has been constantly developing
its integration and installation skills in fixed networks, strategic/ancillary mobile
infrastructure and distribution architectures.
C O M M U N I C A T I O N
Strategic, IT and
videoconferencing
networks
—Cegelec Sud-Ouest houses

Fixed network infrastructure
Cegelec has built a reputation as a Prime Contractor
for the design and installation of strategic,
IT and videoconferencing networks for the French
armed forces. The Cegelec Sud-Ouest subsidiary
specialises in fixed network infrastructure and
can operate anywhere in the world, addressing
all defence and security requirements.
Cegelec's activities in shelter design and manufacturing
are the result of its leading-edge multi-technical
skills and constitute one of its main specialities.
The company's industrial capability can handle
mass production projects.
This has enabled Cegelec to gain a firm position
in European markets. Cegelec's hardened or
semi-hardened mobile technical shelters can be
transported by air, and include all functions, from
those of a command post, a control or
videoconferencing station, to those of a
full remote site. Other shelters are designed to
meet specific requirements such as deployable
workshops and sanitary shelters,
along with the guardrooms ordered
by the Belgian Defence Ministry.

provides armed forces, particularly the French Navy
and Air Force, with logistics and support equipment
that is installed on the ground - in military bases
or industrial aerospace workshops - and onboard
ships such as the Charles-De-Gaulle aircraft carrier.
This equipment meets the requirements of aerospace,
military and civil applications, and includes engine
test beds, 50Hz or 400Hz generators, mobile air
conditioning units (1-330 kW), and simple or
dual generation hydraulic generators.
Cegelec is renowned for its ability to integrate various
utilities – such as high-, medium- and low-voltage
electrical networks and hydraulic networks – into small
and mobile platforms, while addressing
each platform's specific constraints.
Distribution architecture
In military dockyards and shipbuilding docks,
Cegelec supplies docked ships with the fluids
they require as well as energy infrastructure
for technical installations, while ensuring operational
safety. These services include high-voltage electricity
supplies (5kV and 6kV), rotating machines,
rectifiers, direct current distribution for submarines,
50/60Hz converters, and the implementation
of control systems.

technical systems in the Scorpène submarines
being built for the Chilean Navy.
DCN-Izar has appointed Cegelec to co-ordinate
the final phases of work in France and Spain,
and to commission and test the performance
of some systems. These responsibilities show
the level of trust that Cegelec has built up
with its customers.
Operational system specialist
In the last 20 years, Cegelec has become
an acknowledged specialist in refuelling systems
for airbases and airports. Cegelec designed and
operates the ARES system of fuel tanks and mobile,
modular refuelling systems, meeting the standards
of the US Air Force and NATO.

Global maintenance:
availability and performance guarantees
Outsourced global maintenance with availability and performance guarantees is a growing
market in the industry, and one of Cegelec's core skills. In the military sector, Cegelec's activities
include electrical maintenance at the Cadarache site of the French atomic energy commission
(CEA) and global maintenance at two GIAT Industries sites.
Maintenance
of ground-based installations
Cegelec is a major player in MRO services for sensitive
site infrastructure and production systems, guaranteeing
the operational capacity of armed forces in an external
theatre of operations.
These activities show Cegelec's ability to guarantee
results, particularly in terms of availability, reliability
and the longevity of its systems. It can also offer
innovative financing solutions.
Armed forces are gradually outsourcing MRO operations,
enabling them to ensure availability over the long term
and to keep costs steady. Cegelec has quickly become
a partner of DCN and a major force in MRO operations
for the French Navy's ships in foreign waters, due to:
• its global network, covering French overseas territories,
Asia, Brazil, Morocco and some Gulf countries,
and its local, highly-trained technicians;
• an effective e-maintenance system;
• the ability to mobilise large teams quickly
and for short periods.
These strengths have enabled Cegelec to become DCN's
MRO partner for La Glorieuse patrol boats in Nouméa,
and for La Rieuse boats in La Réunion. After being
awarded two of the seven La Fougueuse contracts,
Cegelec has signed its first global turnkey MRO contract
for the La Boudeuse patrol boat. The contract comprises
a project management role and a performance guarantee.
In 2002, DCN also awarded Cegelec the
maintenance contract for part of the new generation
SSBNs Le Triomphant .
Special equipment maintenance
Based on Cegelec's broad range of technical skills,
NATO has appointed the company to operate
the Central European Pipeline System - a 2,700km
oil pipeline network - in Germany. The contract covers
the whole system, from inlet valves to regulation
from military bases. It includes the control and global
maintenance of pumping stations and distribution centres,
via a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition)
system handling 26,000 parameters. Cegelec has set
up similar, but smaller, systems in Portugal and
South Korea for civilian applications.
