Airbus - Experts & Thought Leaders

Airbus provides its Tactilon Agnet communication and collaboration platform to the fire brigade of Ghent for use on existing public broadband networks in Belgium. Through this new contract, the Belgian city’s fire brigade will be the first of twelve involved fire brigades that will benefit from empowered communication and smart action support on- and off the field, as well as augmented situational awareness. voice and multimedia solutions Airbus’ Tactilon Agnet helps users embrace the future of broadband communication by providing voice and multimedia solutions at the touch of a button, connecting them with other team members, and improving teamwork and collaboration. The platform enables secure and reliable group communication, one-to-one calls, video calls, and streaming as well as secure picture and text messaging. The solution also harnesses emergency features such as emergency calls as well as location services with real-time user location tracking, which ensures faster response times during emergencies. state-of-the-art broadband communication The main focus is to put the collaboration solution to real-world use in the Belgian firefighting scene" “The main focus of this innovative multi-year initiative is to put a state-of-the-art broadband communication and collaboration solution to real-world use in the Belgian firefighting scene,” explains Pavle Toljaga, Broadband Program Manager and Business Analyst at Airbus Secure Land Communications. “This can be done by using the existing public broadband network connectivity combined with an open smart device ecosystem,” Pavle Toljaga adds. communication services and network solutions “We imagine a future with an endless ecosystem of communication services and network solutions. We want to seize this momentum of transition and rethink how communication in a broad sense can act as an enabler of our operations. The drivers of this approach are our operational workflows and use cases. This user-centric approach should result in a clear and organization-backed roadmap towards the future use of broadband communication within fire services,” says Sam Gydé Director of ICT and Dispatching at the fire brigade of Ghent. “Airbus is our preferred partner in this trajectory given their established track record of service delivery in all areas relevant to this project,” Sam Gydé adds.

Airbus Defense and Space, the German prime for the tri-national Future Combat Air System Program (FCAS), has contracted Fraunhofer FKIE and DMI Solutions to develop an Explainable AI (XAI) demonstrator. The project is realized jointly with the FCAS Expert Commission on the responsible use of new technologies.

FCAS Expert Commission Project is realized jointly with the FCAS Expert Commission on responsible use of new technologies Airbus Defense and Space, the German prime for the tri-national Future Combat Air System Program (FCAS), has contracted Fraunhofer FKIE and DMI Solutions to develop an Explainable AI (XAI) demonstrator. The project is realized jointly with the FCAS Expert Commission on the responsible use of new technologies. Fraunhofer FKIE and DMI Solutions will be working with former fighter Aircraft pilots, Airbus engineering experts as well as representatives of the Airbus/Fraunhofer FKIE expert group on the responsible use of new technologies in an FCAS to demonstrate the versatile use of AI in a broader ethical and legal context. The goal is to lay the foundations for future certification, admission, and ethical approval of FCAS. Author's quote Professor Wolfgang Koch, Chief Scientist at Fraunhofer FKIE, says: "The decisive question is: How to concretize and operationalize ethical and legal requirements in the technical design of FCAS? As a first step, we make the pilot experience a real AI/XAI in a simulated targeting cycle and interactively explore ‘ethically-aligned’ engineering principles." Bert van Heukelom, Managing Director of Data Machine Intelligence Solutions, adds: "AI-based recommendations to the human operator need to be properly displayed, in order to be well understood and accepted. We are delighted to work with Fraunhofer FKIE in the context of this European lighthouse project." First tangible results of the project are to be presented by the fourth quarter of 2021.

Shareholders approved all resolutions proposed at Airbus SE’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM), including the renewal of the Board mandate of Chairman René Obermann. The Board mandates of Amparo Moraleda, Victor Chu, and Jean-Pierre Clamadieu were also renewed. 2021 AGM resolutions Following the AGM’s approval of his Board mandate, René Obermann was formally reappointed Chairman at a Board meeting held after the shareholder meeting. At the same Board meeting, Amparo Moraleda was reappointed Chair of the Remuneration, Nomination, and Governance Committee while Jean-Pierre Clamadieu was reappointed Chairman of the Ethics, Compliance, and Sustainability Committee. Separately, Catherine Guillouard remains Chair of the Audit Committee. Due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and to prioritize health and safety, shareholders were encouraged to vote by proxy, instead of attending the meeting physically in Amsterdam. Shareholders showed a high level of engagement, with 549 million votes expressed, representing around 70% of the outstanding share capital.
