Espionage Has Gone Mobile: Defense Programs Are the New Target

Nation-state espionage no longer waits at the network perimeter. It follows your people, onto their phones, into their calls and messages, and across telecom infrastructure no one in your program controls.

Join David Wiseman, BlackBerry secure voice and messaging expert, and Christine Gadsby, Chief Security Advisor, for a candid discussion of how mobile-first espionage, layered device threats, consumer messaging app vulnerability, and AI-driven deception are reshaping the risk to aerospace and defense programs, and what it takes to keep CUI, classified, and export-controlled work coordinated, verified, and under your control from the first design review to the launch pad.

Aerospace Perspectives Series: How AI is Automating Geometry Preprocessing for Simulation Workflows

It’s not news that geometry preprocessing and grid generation have been a bottleneck in simulation workflows. The CFD Vision 2030 Study, published by NASA in 2014, formally identified this as the constraint pacing CFD workflows. More than a decade later, the simulation industry has advanced considerably, yet this core issue remains largely unaddressed.

But now, that is changing. There is an innovative new approach to geometry preprocessing using AI, one that eliminates the bottleneck entirely and brings preprocessing in line with the pace of modern simulation workflows. The solution is Flexcompute’s GeometryAI: an AI-powered preprocessing platform that functions as an intelligent agent, absorbing hours or days of expert geometry preparation work and reasoning over topology and tolerances to produce simulation-ready geometry with little to no human intervention.

Join us for this webinar to learn how GeometryAI can take on this burden, so you can focus on design, analysis, and iteration. This webinar will cover:

An overview of GeometryAI and how it works
How GeometryAI uses neural reconstruction algorithms to heal geometry without fidelity loss
Industry use cases where preprocessing time drops from days to hours
A live demonstration: from a raw CAD to a simulation-ready model in minutes

Aerospace Perspectives Series: Aligning Strategy and Decisions with a Golden Thread

On-Demand Recording Available

Access Replay

Most organizations strive for strategic alignment, but in reality, strategy lives in slide decks, plans in spreadsheets, and risks in separate systems. By the time information reaches executives, it is often outdated, turning alignment into a periodic exercise rather than an ongoing capability.

In aerospace and defense programs, where coordination across engineering, operations, cost, schedule, and risk is critical, this disconnect makes it difficult to maintain a clear line of sight from strategic priorities to execution.

In this session, we will explore how organizations can move from misalignment to decisions guided by a true golden thread, using unified data to provide ongoing decision guidance from strategy through initiatives, delivery, risks, and outcomes. You will learn how to:

Connect familiar data sources into a unified view without rebuilding your planning approach
Reveal how changes ripple across plans in real time
Clarify trade-offs by exposing competing priorities and resource constraints
Shift leadership conversations from static reporting to dynamic decision-making

Aerospace Perspectives Series: The Accelerating Pace of Physics AI Modeling and What It Means for the Aerospace Industry

On-Demand Recording Available

Access Replay

The last two years have witnessed a surge in the acceleration in our ability to generate, curate, and use data for large-scale training of modern physics-AI surrogates. Additionally, physics-AI architectures are rapidly improving in their ability to accurately represent complex, industrially relevant geometries and associated physics. Extrapolating into the future, we must ask ourselves the question: “What does this mean for the future of aerospace engineering?”

During this webinar, Professor Alonso will describe the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods as they relate to various applications in aerospace engineering, including design space exploration, optimization, uncertainty quantification, and data assimilation for digital twins. For example, Luminary Cloud has developed SHIFT-CCA, a physics-AI model for external aerodynamics (including the flowpath for the propulsion system) for the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft. Using SHIFT-CCA, Professor Alonso will discuss how such models can be used and the potential of Luminary Cloud’s SHIFT models for aerospace applications.
