AIR 2025 :: STRATEGIC ISSUES FOR AERONAUTICS, SPACE AND DEFENSE
Description
ABSTRACT
A one-day C-level conference on the impact of AI, generative AI and cybersecurity before the Paris Air Show 2025 on the 14th of June to expose strategies and solutions for the defense and aerospace sectors focusing on leveraging cloud, sovereign cloud and AI essential technologies for mission-critical operations.
AI, GEN AI AND CYBERSECURITY IMPACT ON AERONAUTICS AND DEFENSE
Premier Cercle™ has structured for you panels to address strategic overviews and tackling all strategic, industrial, manufacturing, ethical and military issues brought by AI revolution in A&D.
Spectrum covered :
1. Aeronautics (civil and commercial aviation, urban and hybrid aviation),
2. Space (civil, military and dual / hybrid technologies),
3. Defense (cybersecurity, sovereignty, new military doctrines and advanced warfare technologies).
When : Since there are quite a lot of US sponsored events during the weekend, our C-level people usually fly in on the preceding Friday and then get work done in the weekend and fly out on the Wednesday (so half way the Salon).
Where : The conference will be held in Hôtel de Bourrienne, Napolean "aide-de-camp" XVIIIème s. Empire mansion house.
When : On Saturday the 14th of June to gather C-level American, European and Asian executives flying for « Le Bourget » on A&D, before the Paris Air Show in its 55th edition, one of the oldest international aeronautics and space tradeshow (300.000 visitors, 2.500 stands from 48 countries, 1850 journalists, 304 delegations from 98 countries).
Who I (civil): Major aircrafts and engines manufacturers, suppliers and OEM, airlines, lessors and underwriters.
Who II (military) : Prime contractors, military agencies, ministère des Armées (Direction générale de l’Armement [DGA]), Bundeswhehr, Ministerio de Defensa, NATO Agencies (NSPA, ACT, NCIA, STO) and NATO Funds (DIANA, NIF).
1/ Impacts of AI and topics covered on Civil aviation
o Aircraft design and engineering (airframe, aerostructures, fuselage, engines and propulsion, aerodynamics and weight),
o Security (pilot training and immersive simulation, safety readiness, satcom, telecoms and systems cybersecutity),
o Operations optimization (air traffic management, flight paths, routes fuel consumption),
o Sustainability (SAF / decarbonization), smart airports energy hubs, real-time crisis management, transport. new models,
o MRO : predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, automated manuals),
o Supply chain, inventory and ramp-up vulnerabilities, precision manufacturing and new avionics,
o Passenger dynamic yielding pricing, revenue and ancillary optimization and route profitability analysis.
2/ Impacts of AI and topics covered on Defense
o Strategy: doctrines, scenarios, simulation, technology independance, reinforced sovereingty (cloud souverain « bleu »),
o Autonomous warfare: autonomous letal weapon systems (LAWS) and strike optimization in contested environnments,
o Electronic warfare: jamming and spoofing, advanced cybernetic attacks, classified, mission-critical workloads,
o Defense operations: frontier automated surveillance, anti-drone systems, hyperscale combat-cloud platform,
o Multi-domains warfare: automated intelligence, hybrid war, cyberattacks crisis-management, encryption devices,
o Intelligence: massive data analysis, predictive information, counter-espionage, counter-disinformation,
o Logistics: predictive SCM (supply chain man.) and maintenance, bottlenecks, drone-deliveries on operation theatres.
3/ Impacts of AI and topics covered on Space (military, civil, dual technologies).
o Satellite operations: automation, identification of risk-of-collision trajectories, space debris management,
o Strategic applications & cybersecurity: real-time tracking of hostile objects, secure communication, system resilience,
o Space exploration: Autonomous missions in hostile environments, data collection and data analysis, rocket landing and
rocket recycling, adaptation to atmospheric conditions, space cartography.
