Overview
Conference Theme: Safe and Secure Digital Avionics in the Age of AI. The aerospace industry is entering a transformative era, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) that promise to revolutionize safety, security, and operational efficiency. As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into aerospace systems, from predictive maintenance to autonomous flight operations, the importance of ensuring robust safety protocols and cybersecurity measures is mandatory. Safety remains the cornerstone of aerospace innovation, while secure systems are essential to protect sensitive data and prevent malicious interference. By embracing AI responsibly and prioritizing safety and security, the industry can unlock unprecedented opportunities while safeguarding passengers, assets, and critical infrastructure. This balance between innovation and risk mitigation is key to building trust and ensuring the continued growth of aerospace in the age of AI. The 45th DASC will investigate the role of digital avionics in the Age of AI for the next generation of air and space vehicles. We provide the forum to present solutions making aerospace transformation possible, analyze open issues, and discuss disruptive ideas. You are invited to present your research addressing current and future challenges of avionics systems and exchange diverse perspectives with the world’s leading experts in the field. Describe methods, tools, systems and functions for: Motivation for AI and Autonomy technology and applications; AI impact on performance and resource utilization; Qualification of Trusted AI; Safe & Secure operation a hostile environment; Model-based Systems Engineering; Complexity metrics and analysis. Fields of Interest: Air Traffic Management (ATM): Predictive automation, Cognitive radios, Traffic flow management, Command and control, Separation management, Unmanned aircraft management, Simulation and modeling.
