  • Aeronautical propulsion facing to societal challenges

    Air traffic has grown significantly over the past 50 years, accompanying the development of international trade and a very broad democratization of travel. Growth prospects and societal issues involve more than ever strong improvements, including technological disruptions. Presented by Dr Stéphane ORCEL, Director of Product and Market Strategy, Safran Aircraft Engines Air growth has been […]

  • Space surveillance: sovereignty and protection

    Lecture by Anne-Marie Mainguy, president of AIr and Space Academy, high counsellor at ONERA Space surveillance has two different reasons for existing one to meet the specific needs of the military (sovereignty), the other more general to avoid collisions (protection). The first need appeared immediately to the Americans and the Russians, which led to the […]

  • Moving from cyber-security towards cyber-resilience in aviation

    Lecture by Patrick Mana, Cyber-security Program Manager, EATM-CERT Manager at EUROCONTROL The cyber threats to aviation take numerous forms: state-sponsored attacks, cyber-crime, hacktivists. The scale of the threat means it is no longer truly possible to be completely cyber-secure. The real goal should be “cyber-resilience,” focusing both on defending against attacks and quickly reacting should […]
