Alexis de Cacqueray
- System Engineer for military avionics
- Airbus Defence and Space, Germany
Alexis de Cacqueray is a system engineer working for Airbus Defence and Space in Manching, Germany.
After his studies in France, he joined Airbus Defence and Space in Munich area in 2019. Since 2021 he is a system engineer for military avionics, especially for Manned Unmmaned Teaming capability. He is also leading a technology project on Artificial Intelligence.
He has been contributing to the EUROCAE WG-114/SAE G-34 Artificial Intelligence in Aviation since its establishment in 2019. This international committee gathers the whole aviation community to prepare a new standard for the certification of AI-based systems in aviation. He is co-chair for the Use Cases subgroup, supporting the committee with different applications to which the standard may apply.

AI and Automation in the Cockpit
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into aviation is rapidly transforming the industry. As AI capabilities advance, there is growing interest in exploring human autonomy, where AI systems share operational responsibilities with pilots. While regulations are evolving to address the implications of AI and Machine Learning in aviation, the relatively unregulated nature of EVTOL aircraft provides an opportunity. The EUROCAE WG114 working group is actively involved in developing technical standards for AI in aviation. AI can significantly enhance cockpit operations by assisting with data analysis and providing valuable insights. Automation and workload balance are also key considerations, as the increasing complexity of aircraft systems raises questions about the optimal number of crew members required. Connected flight management systems (FMS) play a vital role in facilitating data exchange and providing pilots with advanced decision-support tools. By emulating flight management functions, how can AI assist pilots in making better informed decisions and optimizing flight operations?
