Shaping the New Era of Aerospace and Defense

New Space

The Path towards New Space

With industry previsions to put more than 40,000 new satellites into Earth orbit over the next few decades, reach the Moon, and travel to Mars, space has become a priority again. To achieve these goals, many startups and established companies are required to rapidly develop sophisticated satellites, engineer smart factories to meet new market demands, and rethink space sustainability.

Learn how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can enable innovators to introduce new technologies, move from bespoke satellite to mass production, and facilitate end-of-life satellite management.

Defense Modernization

The Path towards Model-Based Acquisition, Mission Engineering, and Smart Sustainment.

We are demonstrating how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides unique capabilities to maintain defense superiority. The demonstration enables secured extended collaboration and efficient business governance through a model-based acquisition process, in the context of a new military search and rescue (SAR) electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) program.

We will investigate the introduction of new technologies for the SAR eVTOL through the use of a Virtual Twin Experience. In doing so, the extended enterprise teams can accomplish multi-scale model-based We are demonstrating how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides unique capabilities to maintain defense superiority.

Reaching mission performance is not only about system design and production but also about optimizing operations and support throughout the whole lifecycle. Operational information retrieved on the field through various sensor capabilities and big data analytics will enable proactive fleet readiness improvement. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds to ensure 100% mission success and operational readiness while decreasing the cost of sustainment.

Sustainable Aviation

The Path towards Low-Carbon Aviation.

Urban Air Mobility & Unmanned Aircraft Systems on the Cloud

The new urban air mobility market is expected to reach $7,9 billion by 2031. In this context, emerging startups are appearing and disrupting the market with novel configurations. These Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) and light aircraft manufacturers seek the latest tools and processes that support lean ways of working, to deliver their first prototypes in record times while ensuring the greatest level of safety. Discover how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports the development of new electric and hybrid systems, from ideation and architecture trade-offs, through detailed design and optimization, to model-based certification.

Low Carbon Aviation: Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft

The global air transport industry is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. With the Virtual Twin Experience of new sustainable aircraft concepts, low-carbon flights can become a reality. Aircraft manufacturers can create live virtual replicas of hydrogen fuel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and electric concepts for propulsive and non-propulsive energy systems. They can plan, design, and test them at any point of the supply chain – all before any real-life investment. In doing so, they can effectively deliver better fuels, better aircraft, and a more robust value network. Discover how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can empower innovators to tackle the challenge of energy-source transition for aviation while ensuring passenger safety and supply chain robustness.

Agile Manufacturing

The Path toward The Smart Factory.

Ubiquitous Data-Driven Quality Management

Robotics and automation transform manufacturing operations and the workforce in various ways. Companies want to unleash the full power of automation to quickly respond to unpredictable changes in customer needs while offering first-time quality products. Whether it concerns rapid process automation or robot programming to handle complex and highly variable tasks, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the optimization-driven hub for creating high-value-added products through a flexible and interconnected digital workforce. Besides setting up your agile production systems, this demonstration showcases how to improve worker safety, reduce costs, improve quality and increase flexibility in a smart and automated manner.
