Advanced aerospace technology to design, manufacture and connect with the future of space
We drive innovation in the aerospace sector through two capability areas: technologies with potential for space, focused on the development and transfer of technologies applicable to the flight segment; and technologies that leverage space, transforming Earth observation data, satellite navigation data, and other sources of space-based information into end-user applications.
We combine our expertise in materials and manufacturing for lightweight structures, sensing, data science and artificial intelligence, robotics, and cybersecurity with capabilities in space data processing and integration, modelling, and geospatial analysis to accelerate innovation and enhance the performance of aerospace systems in collaboration with companies.
