Aerospace and defence leaders are facing a future that is both uncertain and constrained. Geopolitical conflicts and ongoing effects of the pandemic are destabilising markets end to end. However, we at Capgemini believe that a future of uncertainty is a future of opportunity.

We see a future where executives can be visionaries, tapping into today’s innovations and technologies to utilise the convergence of products, software, data, and services. At Capgemini, we call this Intelligent Industry – the next phase of business transformation cutting across all facets of customer interaction, business operations, R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chains.

We have selected five themes for the five days of Paris Air Show:

During the week, our experts will present our latest innovations for the aerospace and defence industry, including:

Explore the digital twin of a medical delivery drone, from specification to initial prototype.

Our research & innovation teams have been collaborating for 2 years alongside EuroAirship to take up an unprecedented challenge: circumnavigating the world in a rigid airship powered by sustainable energy.
Tracking of objects (geolocation of goods, logistics, traceability of physical flows, automatic inventory) and people, for security (geolocation, evacuation procedure, isolated worker tracking, access control and gas detection).

Our Lab in India helps our customers achieve 30% energy savings by monitoring and managing their energy performance.

Aerospace and Defence

We bring together the capabilities to reimagine the way A&D leaders design, engineer, manufacture, and service complex products – harnessing today’s technologies to launch into a successful tomorrow.
