    Disruption in Aerospace and Defense Is Here: Are You Ready?

    The next generation of aircraft will be different from anything seen before. Disruptive technologies enabled by digitalization are transforming the industry, creating new business models and empowering new market entrants. The digitalization disruption is here. Are you ready for innovation through simulation? The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is challenged to design more fuel-efficient, quieter and safer evolutionary and derivative aircraft to reduce operation lifecycle costs for the airlines. Simultaneously it is wrestling with the rapid revolutions of urban air mobility (UAM) and commercial drones. Global defense spending is increasing as organizations innovate to maintain or establish technology leadership. The new space race has begun as nontraditional companies and new spacefaring nations challenge the historic dominance of government funded agencies. Across the whole industry, these trends demand innovation at a pace never seen before, combined with the globally disruptive cross-industry forces of autonomy, electrification, connectivity and the digital twin, as well as new materials and additive manufacturing. It requires innovation in a design space for which there is no precedent.

    Isotropic Systems Raises $14 Million in Series A Funding Led by Boeing HorizonX Ventures to Advance Space-Based Connectivity

    Isotropic's approach to next-generation integrated terminal creates profound change in terminal economics and performance to unlock the satellite industry's full potential LONDON, Jan. 16, 2019 /CNW/ - Isotropic Systems Ltd., the next-generation integrated satellite terminal solution provider, today announced a $14 million Series A round of funding led by Boeing HorizonX Ventures, with participation from WML, Space Angels and Space Capital. "The Series A financing builds on an exceptional year for Isotropic which saw a rapidly growing roster of strategic partners and customers who are poised to unlock the full potential of high-throughput satellites and mega-constellations across all orbits," said John Finney, founder and chief executive officer of Isotropic Systems. "Boeing's investment provides our team access to Boeing experts, testing labs, and other valuable resources to fast-track the deployment of our terminal solutions and to leverage our intellectual property across other space-based and wireless connectivity applications." Leveraging a transformational optical beamforming technology to control the direction of radio waves, Isotropic Systems has developed communication terminal solutions that are significantly more cost-effective, use significantly less power and yet achieve superior performance benefits for the end users. The substantial reduction in cost and power combined with improved performance result in newly-addressable markets and enable mass adoption of satellite communications. "Isotropic's solution allows for increased capabilities at reduced costs for satellite service providers," said Brian Schettler, managing director of Boeing HorizonX Ventures. "This investment accelerates the expansion of space-based connectivity services to the mass market and continues Boeing's leadership in space innovation." This new funding will allow Isotropic to accelerate the commercialization of its technology to benefit its satellite operator customers and to leverage its technology to explore new applications in adjacent markets.

  • Accord franco-germano-espagnol sur le Système de Combat Aérien du Futur (SCAF)

    Accord franco-germano-espagnol sur le Système de Combat Aérien du Futur (SCAF)

    Les trois pays seraient parvenus à un accord général sur les prochaines étapes de développement du futur avion de combat européen, le développement et la conception d'un démonstrateur (prévu pour 2026-2027). Selon l'agence Reuters, ils devraient établir une liste des droits de propriété intellectuelle indiquant les droits ouverts à tous et ceux qui resteront au sein des entreprises concernées comme l'a confirmé la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, auditionnée par la commission de la Défense nationale et des forces armées de l'Assemblée nationale mardi 4 mai : « aujourd'hui, les discussions se poursuivent essentiellement sur les clauses de protection et de partage de la propriété industrielle. (...) L'objectif, c'est de pouvoir notifier dans le courant de l'année 2021 l'ensemble de ces travaux, en tenant compte du fait qu'il y a une vacance parlementaire en Allemagne du fait des élections fédérales, et que donc si nous voulons être à l'heure en 2026 et en 2040, il nous faut aussi être à l'heure dans les prochaines semaines (...) nous avons évidemment tous l'espoir d'aboutir extrêmement vite, ce sont des clauses qui sont très importantes donc vous comprendrez que nous y passions le temps nécessaires ».
