In addition, in the run up to the conference, SMi Group caught up with conference presenter, Brigadier General Laurent Aubigny, Director State Aviation Authority, French Armed Forces.
See below a snapshot of his interview:
Q) What areas of aviation safety are you prioritising in 2019 and why?
A) "Our vision is that aviation safety must be coherent on all aspects and must be based on a total system approach with interrelated and interdependent military and civil actors, ranging from aircraft manufacturers, air traffic controllers, airports, pilots, airspace designers, training agencies. All of these areas are equally important, and we will not loosen our efforts.
“However, three subjects are emerging and becoming more and more challenging.
“First of all, drones. Operating issues and their integration into a system already complex are becoming prevalent.
“Big data is another area of concern. Capture information is one thing but to take advantage of it efficiently is another one.
“At last but not least, Cybersecurity. It is a highly systemic issue magnified by the rapid growth of network connections and digitalization of aviation system. It requires bringing all stakeholders around one table to address the issue to the fullest extent practicable."
Defence Aviation Safety 2019 will include 26 expert led briefings - providing an in-depth focus on mutual recognition of air platforms and systems covering the spectrum of Fast Jet, Fixed Wing, Rotary, UAS and much more.
As the only event specifically dedicated to Defence Aviation Safety, this is a must attend event for Air Force, Army and Navy Aviators, as well as government and industry experts.
