Three prototypes of the new system were presented Thursday, December 4th to the Minister of Defence, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who made the resolution of this case heavy consequences for soldiers and their families, because of the many late payments or overpayments, a priority of his action.
“We will select among these three prototypes of a new system in the middle of 2015 and we will put the dual ( with Louvois) on the year 2016 “, the time to test it, said Mr Le Drian Wednesday in the Senate
The successful provider. – three unidentified candidates are running – will present a” realization pilot “late 2015 which then run in parallel with Louvois” at least until the end of 2016, “he told reporters the General Armament engineer Caroline Gervais, which leads the project to the Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) as a weapons program (she previously directed the armed helicopter programs DGA).

Salaries partial or overpayments -. Louvois (Single Software Joint vocation of the balance), multiplied malfunctions since launched in 2011 in the Army and Navy, undermining the lives of soldiers whose families were plunged into financial difficulties when they themselves were engaged in theaters of operations in Afghanistan or Mali.
In other cases, equally delicate, soldiers were overpaid. They must therefore restore some 350 million euros of amounts unduly on 2011-2014, according to data provided to the Senate by the Secretary-General for Administration of the Ministry, Jean-Claude Bodin.
At least 110,000 letters were sent to claim the overpayments in 2013, a process all the more difficult that some staff have since left the army, are unemployed or struggling to repay amounts already spent, said Mr. Bodin.
The regularization campaign to pay what is due or recover the overpayment should continue in 2015.
This giant bug is aggravated by the extreme complexity of the payroll system in the army, which has no less than 174 bonuses and allowances according to the specialties and missions of soldiers in France or abroad.
From the staff had to be recruited to peel monthly balances and manually correct the errors of Louvois. The center of payment the Army mobilizes more than 700 people in Nancy.
