AEROCON 2022

AGENDA

AeroCON 2022

2nd Edition of International Aerospace Conference in India

 

CONFERENCE THEME : AUTONOMOUS AIRBORNE SYSTEMS – TRENDS, CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES

AeroCON is a prestigious biennial International Aerospace Conference organized by SAEINDIA in collaboration with SAE International. The International Aerospace Conference: AeroCON 2022 is planned to be held in Bengaluru, India on 2 & 3 June, 2022. The theme of AeroCON 2022 is autonomous airborne systems focusing on various research trends, challenges, and opportunities. It is a knowledge-sharing platform on autonomous airborne systems bringing together the best of industry, academia and research to lay the roadmap for the future of Aerospace & Defence. The increase in demand for large aircraft from Indian airline carriers is leading to focus on Powered by Hour Contracts (PBH). Many Indian aerospace services and manufacturing activities are expected to be driven by PBH. Similarly, India's defence capital expenditure is continuously growing, providing immense opportunities in defence aerospace. This provides unique opportunity for both start-ups and incumbents. The Indian Aerospace & Defence (A&D) market is projected to reach ~USD 70 billion by 2030, driven by the burgeoning demand for advanced infrastructure and government thrust. [Source: IBEF]

Artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced control systems will continue to evolve in the next few years and will play an important role in autonomous systems. Autonomous airborne systems are revolutionizing the aviation industry more specifically in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or Drones. These technologies will continue to evolve and will play an important role improving safety and efficiency of operations in both civil and military aviation. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) defined a pragmatic AI roadmap consisting of 3 levels namely assisting functions (Level 1), human machine collaboration (Level 2) and more autonomy of the machine (Level 3). Can we accelerate the journey of autonomous airborne systems? Do you want to know the current trends, challenges and opportunities for autonomous airborne systems? Come and join us at AeroCON 2022, a unique event providing a global networking opportunity for Aerospace Professionals both from industry and academia besides the reputed National Defence Laboratories.
