The aerospace and defense industries have long operated on the cutting edge to develop and deliver advanced capabilities across all warfighting domains. But today, adversaries are eroding many of the technological advantages long held by multiple countries. How? The simple answer is speed — they design, test, and deliver new capabilities faster. Dramatic changes will be required to deliver new and vital capabilities quickly enough to stay ahead of the threat, and the key to it all is digital engineering. In this presentation we’ll discuss:
The presentation will explore the crucial role of models in facilitating digital engineering processes. With some examples we will delve into the concept of digital continuity and its ability to foster collaboration among stakeholders, highlighting the significance of the digital thread in enabling various functionalities, such as: functional and performance assessment, analysis and simulation of extreme conditions and diverse strategies, as well as iterative definition and refinement of architectures and behaviors. During the talk we will emphasize how models support requirement-driven development by establishing contracts among systems, managing conflicts, enabling traceability across development cycles, and compliance with industry standards (DO-254/178C/326, ECSS, ARP4754A). Finally, the importance of a collaborative environment in both development and operational phases will be underscored. Attendees will gain insights into the transformative power of models in achieving digital engineering objectives.

Over the past decade, Turkish defense and aviation industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, with turnover nearly tripling (USD 12.2 billion in 2022). Türkiye, with outstanding local capabilities and a strategic location, has capitalized on new opportunities in the European Union, United States, Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and South America. Türkiye is now a hub for international companies, and Turkish companies have nurtured strong capabilities, incorporating leading-edge technologies within a robust ecosystem. Currently, more than 2,000 companies operate in the sector, with four Turkish manufacturers ranking among the top 100 defense contractors globally. The conference will present the opportunities offered by the Country to the international stakeholders, and will host distinguished testimonials from two prominent Turkish companies

Agiometrix is introduced as a CT service company operating in the Automotive and Aerospace Industries since 2013, offering a portfolio of four distinct CT systems. The company has gained valuable experience in addressing unique inspection challenges while qualifying metal additive manufacturing parts and intricate carbon fiber structures. Two case studies are presented, the first focusing on an Inconel LPBF prototype. The case study discusses the inspection approach to meet requirements, the comparison of CT datasets, and the constraints and solutions encountered. The second case study involves an oversize carbon fiber frame, discussing a similar inspection approach, CT dataset comparisons, and the corresponding constraints and solutions. The presentation concludes with an overview of Agiometrix’s forthcoming technology developments in the coming years.

Conventional Aero Structure design and development starts from creating a styling in a studio and then create a STL data. In order to ensure the design meets the target performance like lift & Dag, crashworthiness, NVH, durability, vehicle dynamics, etc., engineers will start selecting the Frames, bulkheads, fuselage, spars, stringers, etc., from the existing database repository and starts creating initial CAD designs. This is very time consuming and often requires repeatedly updating the design as and when airfoil design changes or the components thus created doesn’t meet the performance target. We will focus on demonstrating some relevant technology enablers to optimize an aircraft design.
