Event Overview

The aerospace and defense sectors have consistently operated at the forefront of advanced systems of systems development. Today, the need for effective Next Generation Integrated Air, Land, Maritime, and Space systems has become a crucial strategic priority. As complexity escalates, we must confront a wide range of potential threats and scenarios—many of which can only be understood, modeled, and resolved through simulation, software, and AI, enabling quick development and delivery to the highest standards.

Therefore, leading companies are adopting Digital Engineering to streamline processes, modernize legacy systems, and accelerate the deployment of new technologies.

Join us for this 2-day conference where we will highlight Ansys' solutions and hear about the achievements of Ansys' customers, showcasing what’s possible through Model-Based Engineering, Simulation and AI.

  • Hear from top industry leaders as they share real world benefits of using Ansys solutions.

  • Discover how Ansys solutions support all aspects of digital engineering, from concept to software development, implementation, and ongoing life-cycle support.
  • Learn about system-of-systems integration, advanced communications, multi-domain platforms, and comprehensive mission planning.

  • Participate in valuable networking opportunities with your industry peers

We will cover the following topics in detail:-

  • Safety Critical Systems and Software
  • Digital Mission Engineering

  • AI and Autonomy

  • Physical Systems Design and Optimization

DAY-1: Features keynotes and presentations bringing together professionals from the civil and defense sectors in aerospace, maritime and space along with Ansys experts.

DAY-2: Offers optional Hands-On Workshops for Engineers and Engineering Managers, allowing participants to learn and work with Ansys MBSE, Safe Systems, and Digital Mission Engineering Solutions. Places are limited, and attendees are asked to bring their own laptops, as the workshop is web-based and does not require software installation in advance.

Workshop Overviews:

SCADE Workshop

In this workshop, we will:

  • Introduce the benefits of a model-based approach in developing safety critical software for DO-178C
  • Explain how SCADE, as a qualified toolsuite, streamlines your software certification.

What attendees will learn

  • Challenges in developing safe, certified software in the Aerospace market
  • Introduction to model-based embedded software development using Ansys SCADE
  • Developing the software functional model (using an eVTOL example)
  • Automated Code generation
  • Testing at the model level using SCADE Test
  • Test coverage at model level using SCADE model coverage
  • How SCADE gets you to certified software 50% faster

Introduction to Digital Mission Engineering with Ansys STK Workshop

Take part in this interactive workshop to explore the fundamentals of Digital Mission Engineering using Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) — the industry-standard platform for multi-domain, systems-of-systems modelling.

Participants will gain practical, hands-on experience simulating complex mission scenarios, including satellite mega-constellations, aircraft, ground stations, and naval assets — all with just a few intuitive steps. This session provides a grounded introduction to mission engineering workflows and demonstrates how these capabilities can be effectively integrated into organisational processes.

The workshop will also highlight how STK can be seamlessly integrated with other high-fidelity design tools and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) solutions, enabling end-to-end mission modelling and enhancing design traceability and collaboration across

By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a strong understanding of the Digital Mission Engineering concept, its practical applications, and the value it brings to mission planning and systems integration.

Ideal for: Engineers, analysts, and professionals involved in mission planning, operational analysis, or systems-of-systems modelling — including mission engineers, analysts, and technical decision-makers looking to enhance their workflow with cutting-edge simulation and integration tools
