Explanation:
support technique sur l'ensemble de la vie de l'équipement
"25 nov. 2008... ont conclu aujourd'hui un important contrat de support à vie (Through Life Support) de la nouvelle flotte d'hélicoptères Tigre version ..."

"In a military context, the term "Through Life Support," among other definitions, is used to describe an arrangement between a service provider and a branch of the armed forces, where the responsibility, and risk, of operating an aircraft is delegated to the original system supplier or designated support partner. This trend sees defence moving away from acquiring a military system, the acquisition of a military capability. With the acquisition of the hardware comes a guarantee that the supplied product will meet a list of specific criteria, including, for example, pre-determined levels of dispatch reliability and availability"
