(Adnkronos) – EDIMBURGO, Scozia, 30 agosto 2023 /PRNewswire/ — In un nuovo report, Parigi è stata nominata da Quantum Consultancy e dalla Durham University Business School la città sportiva numero uno a livello globale per l'hosting di eventi. Il report, intitolato "Global Sport Cities and The Olympic Ecosystem", ha presentato le 60 principali città in base alla loro organizzazione di importanti giochi multisport e di campionati mondiali in tutto l'ecosistema sportivo, conferendo loro un prestigioso riconoscimento come città sportive globali per l'hosting di eventi. Parigi, Francia, si classifica come la città ospitante numero uno per lo sport mentre si prepara a ospitare i Giochi Olimpici e Paralimpici l'anno prossimo, con Budapest, Ungheria che ospiterà la maggior parte degli eventi nel periodo 2021-2028 oggetto dell'analisi. Tokyo, Giappone, è la città con le migliori prestazioni in Asia, mentre Los Angeles, futura padrona di casa dei Giochi Olimpici e Paralimpici, si posiziona al nono posto ed è la città delle Americhe più alta in classifica.     Un importante cambiamento di panorama vede città del Medio Oriente come Doha, Qatar, Dubai, EAU e Riad, Arabia Saudita, arrivare tutte tra le top 20, poiché ognuna continua a considerare lo sport un importante catalizzatore per il turismo, per l'esposizione ai media e per il potenziale impatto sociale. Chengdu, Cina, è una delle due città cinesi tra le prime 10, dietro a Pechino, ed è la destinazione più alta in classifica che non sia una capitale. Chengdu ha avviato una strategia di hosting di eventi che comprende due giochi multisport su vasta scala: i Giochi Mondiali Universitari FISU che sono terminati di recente e i World Games del 2025.  Le città si classificano in base al loro punteggio cumulativo che considera il numero di eventi che una città ha ospitato o che è destinata a ospitare tra il 2021 e il 2028, nonché le dimensioni, la scala e il riconoscimento di questi eventi come parte di una metodologia basata sui punti. Il report ha analizzato 355 edizioni di singoli eventi in 95 strutture sportive e 156 titolarità di eventi. Complessivamente, 75 nazioni ospitanti e 330 città ospiteranno questa serie di eventi di punta tra il 2021 e il 2028, dimostrando una maggiore diversità nel numero e nel tipo di destinazioni che ospiteranno questi eventi rispetto agli anni precedenti. Il report fornisce un'istantanea approfondita del panorama globale dell'hosting sportivo e sottolinea la crescente concorrenza tra le città per attrarre importanti eventi all'interno dell'ecosistema olimpico, sottolineando gli investimenti strategici necessari per diventare una città sportiva di spicco a livello globale.

(Adnkronos) – ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded $7 million to advance development and assessment of the company's GhostEye® MR radar, an advanced medium-range sensor for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or NASAMS. These are the first government contracts for GhostEye MR, a multi-mission radar designed and developed by Raytheon via internal research and development investments. Funding will support continued radar development and then an operational assessment at White Sands Missile Range later this year. "This government support confirms the growing relevance and demand for the capabilities of GhostEye MR, as nations around the globe look to bolster their air defense," said Tom Laliberty, president of Land & Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. "Partnering with DoD, Air Force, and Kongsberg, we will showcase the sensor's range of capabilities against a multitude of emerging threats."    The experiment at White Sands will assess the operational performance of GhostEye MR, with the radar providing effective surveillance cues and integrating with the combat-proven NASAMS air defense system. This follows the Strategic Developmental Planning & Experimentation (SDPE) office's successful air base air defense experiment in Andøya, Norway, last September, which showcased NASAMS' ability to engage and intercept various advanced aerial threats using multiple Raytheon missile types and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace's Fire Distribution Center, or FDC. The operational assessment in September will build upon the capabilities demonstrated in Andøya by utilizing the U.S. Air Force's relevant command and control to link GhostEye MR with NASAMS' FDC. Funding consists of a contract from the U.S. Air Force Research Lab's SDPE office and the Office of the Secretary of Defense's Rapid Prototyping Program (RPP). A member of Raytheon's GhostEye family of sensors, GhostEye MR is an advanced medium-range multi-mission radar for NASAMS. The radar, introduced in 2021, provides increased range and altitude coverage to expand the defended-area capabilities of NASAMS. Additionally, GhostEye MR leverages commonality with the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) that Raytheon is building for the U.S. Army. About RTXRTX is the world's largest aerospace and defense company. With more than 180,000 global employees, we push the limits of technology and science to redefine how we connect and protect our world. Through industry-leading businesses – Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon – we are advancing aviation, engineering integrated defense systems for operational success, and developing next-generation technology solutions and manufacturing to help global customers address their most critical challenges. The company, with 2022 sales of $67 billion, is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. For questions or to schedule an interview, please contact:Nick Garrisoncorporatepr@rtx.com
