• Latest Technologies & Developments in the Cockpit/Flight Deck

  Advancements in technologies plays a key role in the development of an efficient aircraft and enhance capabilities. How can Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology offer advanced capabilities for monitoring and surveillance in aviation? What can sensors and data fusion do for avionics, enhancing situational awareness and improving safety? How can fibre optic intercom systems provide interference-free communication, ensuring clear and reliable communication between crew members? How can Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) deliver affordable systems? The ongoing digitization and miniaturization trends in avionics lead to an increase in components and electronic devices, such as chips and GPUs, generating significant heat, particularly at high altitudes where air is thinner, so effective cooling solutions are essential to maintain the reliability and performance of avionics systems. By embracing new technologies, the aviation industry can also contribute to environmental targets by improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and enhancing operational efficiency.

• Cyber threats and security in Avionics and Air to Ground

  The aviation industry faces a growing threat of cyberattacks that could compromise the safety and security of flight operations, both in the sky and on the ground, but what are these latest threats? How can aircraft avoid data leaks? GPS spoofing and jamming also pose specific risks to GNSS systems. With the increase in remote centres, how do we secure these developments? In addition to traditional cybersecurity measures, ensuring the integrity and reliability of wireless communications is crucial. Protecting avionics and air-to-ground systems from cyberattacks is vital for maintaining aviation safety.
