Deploy faster. Collaborate securely. Act now.

Capgemini will be at the Farnborough International Air Show from July 20-24, 2026, demonstrating how aerospace and defense (A&D) organizations can innovate faster, operate with trust and sovereignty in an increasingly complex world.

Delivering value across the A&D lifecycle

Capgemini can help A&D companies move from ambition to advantage – supporting programs from early design through production, operations, and long‑term sustainment.

Our approach brings together:

  • Digital continuity that connects engineering, manufacturing, and operations.
  • AI embedded across the lifecycle, from design decisions to production optimization.
  • Secure and sovereign digital foundations that preserve control over critical data, systems, and decision making.

Capgemini at FIA 2026

At FIA 2026, Capgemini will highlight how we create value across the product lifecycle by supporting clients in four priority areas for the industry ecosystem:

Augmented digital engineering: Faster design, build, and certification in complex environments.

How can you manage increasing engineering complexity with compressed timelines? Capgemini enables collaborative, model‑based, and AI‑augmented engineering to help organizations build faster and smarter.

Capgemini supports production ramp‑up through smart factory, automation, and AI‑enabled shopfloor solutions, improving throughput, traceability, and operational resilience.

Capgemini helps clients develop operational superiority by enabling software-defined platforms. These systems meet the industry demand for agility – supporting continuous upgrades, enhanced mission performance, and secure interoperability across complex operational ecosystems.

Capgemini embeds cybersecurity, data control, AI governance, and trusted cloud foundations across operations – enabling innovation at scale while preserving control across national and allied networks.
