2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Avionics Track

The advent of 5G networks has brought significant advancements in connectivity, but also presents challenges, such as spectrum scarcity and potential interference with avionics systems. Spectrum co-existence strategies and advancements in datalink technology over Internet Protocol (IP), such as ACARS over IP, are essential to mitigate these issues. What is the status of connectivity systems […]

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Testing Track

New complex chips, often with multiple levels of cores, makes it difficult to understand their internal behaviour and design effective testing strategies, highlighting the challenges of certifying Systems on Chips (SoCs) in the context of multicore architectures. Issues such as power management, firmware updates, and the use of GPUs further complicate the certification process – […]

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Avionics Track

Safer skies rely on Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems that rely on Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to ensure safe and efficient air traffic flow. ANSPs operating remote centres and towers managing airspace architecture, an integrated ATC, and coordinating aircraft movements, have an increasing workload. How do developments in 4D trajectory based ops (TBO) support […]

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Testing Track

AI and ML have provided some great opportunities for assisting speed and quality of testing, when such large amounts of data require analysis, and highlighted the importance of a robust testing strategy for AI systems. While AI can effectively analyze and digest large datasets, ensuring the quality of the AI algorithm and the accuracy of […]
