Complexity in Aerospace Systems – Expecting the Unexpected

Earlier this year the four pilot projects were launched in order to operate a pilot for a European Cybersecurity Competence Network and to develop a common European Cybersecurity Research & Innovation Roadmap. This shall contribute to strengthening the EU's cybersecurity capacity and tackling future cybersecurity challenges.

In just a few short years, the operation of unmanned aircraft has gone from a rarity to big business. According to the FAA’s newly released Aerospace Forecast, the total number of commercial UAS in the United States is expected to triple by 2023. Much of this growth is expected to come from a dramatic increase in the number of businesses offering “drones as a service.

With an ever-growing pressure to drive down costs, engineering teams are striving to optimize the manufacturing processes. The focus has shifted towards reducing scrap rates and introducing new materials and processes, whilst drastically increasing production rates. The implementation of manufacturing simulation in the process is more than ever key for OEMs and suppliers to better design and engineer the manufacturing capabilities. Join our upcoming webinar to see how virtual manufacturing enables aerospace leaders to successfully transform their production systems and increase cadences without compromising on cost and quality.

Achieving application portability has been thultimate goal of system suppliers in military and aerospace over the last decade. Driven by open architectures and open standards through industry and government collaboration, now reference implementations have started to emerge, showing that system separation, integration and safety certification challenges can be overcome in order to manage program affordability.
