AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Taking Advanced Computing to the Tactical Edge

This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by Lockheed Martin.

Lockheed Martin is assembling an outstanding panel of industry and academic leaders to discuss taking edge computing technologies and capabilities to the tactical edge. Edge computing is a distributed computing topology where information processing is located close to the source of the information, bringing computation and data storage closer to the edge which is typically not done today. There are many commercial applications of edge computing and it is anticipated that there are a number of benefits to the defense battlespace. This webinar will seek to address what edge computing is – as it relates to defense applications, the defense capabilities that are enabled with edge computing, challenges and solutions associated with implementation, as well as defense-specific needs to successfully implement advanced computing capabilities at the tactical edge.

AIAA Corporate Member Connect: The New Normal of Aerospace Cybersecurity Compliance

Cybersecurity is in the headlines almost daily. The aerospace and defense industry is already taking big steps to improve the safety and security of IT systems, like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program — CMMC. CMMC is a Department of Defense initiative that takes a continuous, structural approach to cybersecurity. Soon, it will be a feature of all Federal procurements. Agencies like NASA and FAA are already evaluating for solicitations and are not limited to traditional IT.

AIAA Corporate Members can learn more about CMMC at the AIAA Corporate Member Connect event on Thursday, 21 October. Find out more about how CMMC will impact aerospace projects from CMMC Expert and Registered Practitioner, Carter Schoenberg of SoundWay Consulting.

Audience takeaways:
  • The current status of the CMMC program, and what’s next for its implementation
  • What is unique about aerospace and military space markets
  • What your project or company can do now to prepare for CMMC
  • How CMMC will help your company, your products, and your customers—even if the US government is not your primary customer

 This webinar is an exclusive corporate member event. If your employer has an AIAA corporate membership and you would like to attend this event, please send an email to Nancy Hilliard. 

AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Digital Twin Value—Driving The Entire Product Life Cycle

Lockheed Martin Digital Twin Maturity Model
Lockheed Martin Digital Twin Overview

This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by Lockheed Martin.

Digital Twins have captured our collective imagination for years, representing the ultimate tool for understanding and optimizing design, manufacturing, and sustainment of complex systems. But how can it bring value to the Aerospace and Defense industry? Join us online as AIAA and Lockheed Martin bring together a panel of experts to explore this topic and talk though the value of this complex technology. In an unclassified 60-minute webinar, learn more about the capability and how – through interoperability and applying digital twin technology across the product life cycle – we can visualize our industry and the world like never before. :

  • Discussion from industry, government and academia around cutting-edge successes and industry-wide challenges with digital twin
  • Integration of digital engineering, complete digital thread and digital twins to complement all stages of the product life cycle – for both new and legacy programs
  • Importance of digital twin interoperability across organizations – Partnership with the customer and supply chain to transform how we acquire, develop and maintain products faster – and more effectively – than ever before
  • Evolution of the Lockheed Martin Digital Twin Maturity Model and what that means for early concept models through sustainment

2023 Event Outcomes

NASA/JPL & WHOI Live from Research Vessel Atlantis — Meet the Professionals [High School Member Webinar]

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site  with your member credentials to be able to access the on-demand replay.

Hosted by the AIAA STEM K-12 Outreach Committee. Meet and hear directly from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) engineers and scientists aboard R/V Atlantis. High school students were able to ask questions and learn about the interaction between disciplines, avenues for careers, and get a tour of the expedition. The webinar featured a direct connection with the team in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska that is currently diving both the crewed Alvin submersible and the robotic Orpheus-class submersibles to map and sample some of the deepest regions on Earth (5000m in the Aleutian trench). Interact with the team collaborating to build and deploy the Orpheus-class vehicles that contribute to Earth-science as well as serve as early pre-cursors for vehicles that might explore ocean worlds beyond the Earth.

How to Conduct a BSA Merit Badge Fair

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site  with your member credentials to be able to access the on-demand replay.

Boy Scouts of America (BSA) / Scouting America is a youth serving organization that uses a merit badge system. Merit badges give scouts the opportunity to investigate different areas of knowledge, skills and careers. Watch the recording of this webinar – hosted by AIAA’s STEM K-12 Outreach Committee – for an overview of these impactful initiatives and discover how to get involved:

  • Teaching the basics of STEM merit badges
  • Holding a STEM merit badge event
  • Introduce scouts to Subject Matter Experts (SME) in a range of disciplines
  • Encouraging scouts to pursue a career in STEM
  • And more!

AIAA members have so much knowledge to share. Learn how your AIAA Section can positively influence the next generation.
