Aerospace & Defense
The aerospace and defense industry is a significant global sector that involves both civilian and military applications. With an economic impact of more than USD 700 billion, it comprises the development, manufacturing, and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, defense systems, and related equipment. The aerospace and defense industry is at the forefront of technological advancements as it continually pushes the boundaries of engineering, materials science, avionics, propulsion, communication, and more.
Innovation is essential to overcome the numerous challenges the sector is currently facing. This includes developing more efficient and environmentally-friendly aircraft to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in the commercial aircraft industry, while cost-effective and reliable rocket launches prompt the need for innovation in space technology. In the defense sector, artificial intelligence (AI), unmanned systems, and aspects of cybersecurity are transforming the nature of warfare.
We assist our clients in addressing critical industry-specific issues such as the following:
