Climate change is one of the greatest challenges the modern world is facing. In order to fight it effectively we need the reliable, global data that earth observation from space is able to provide. Find out how these programmes are not only changing the way we understand our impact on the environment but also providing the information that is required to shape climate change initiatives around the world.

The job of fighter pilot is a very demanding one, and carrying out successful missions requires considerable support, both on the ground and in the air. Learn more about how the experiences of today’s fighter pilots are helping to make the combination of artificial intelligence and big data the next generation’s best wingman.

We live in an era when drones are proliferating and the ways in which they are used are growing exponentially. Their integration into our airspace has created major challenges, not only in terms of avionics, air traffic management and connectivity, but also of how they can “see and avoid”. However, solutions to these problems do exist.

Digital technologies are changing every aspect of our lives, and the way we travel is no exception to the rule. Find out how digitisation will bring about the end-to-end transformation of the entire passenger experience, from ticket purchase and airport controls to in-flight services and safe arrival at one’s final destination.

AI and simulation

Today most military operations are carried out within a joint, allied framework. This includes air operations. Effective, secure collaboration between all the interconnected players and objects enables the situation to be defined, understood and shared by all, and allows the organisation of joint operations to handle it in the best possible way. The opportunities that digitisation provides to leverage this shared information allows forces to remain one step ahead of the enemy, which is the key to operational superiority.

Discover some of the many innovations that are providing not only new perspectives in our understanding of, and response to, climate change, but also solutions to help reduce our carbon footprint. 3D printed antennas, algorithms to optimise trajectories, artificial nano-neurones – all of these innovations can be used to increase our energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, thus ensuring greater respect of our planet’s environment.

Objective: Mars

Egyptian astronomers already had it in their sights over two thousand years ago, and the “red planet” has fascinated earth’s inhabitants ever since. Advances in space technology have enabled voyages to Mars; so many, in fact, that it is sometimes difficult to keep track of them. Where do we stand today, and what can we expect of the various current and future missions?

White hat hackers in the aviation field

Cybersecurity is a key issue in the aviation world: from nose to tail on board aircraft, everything from the navigation and communication systems to the passenger in-flight entertainment and connectivity offering has to be totally secure and impenetrable. So-called “ethical hacking” has become a key part of this process; find out how this has been incorporated into the development and deployment phases of systems and solutions, the results that have been obtained, and how it all fits into a global risk management approach
