Enhancing the safety and security of critical defence systems
Contact us

Responding to constantly shifting geopolitical tensions and threats requires intelligent defence systems and infrastructure. But implementing new scalable, interoperable, and technologically advanced defence systems presents a challenge, on which we can support our customers.

Our impact

Airbus Protect works closely with defence manufacturers and engineering firms as they develop new defence systems to ensure safety, security, dependability, and interoperability. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of complex system studies and are well-placed to address the diverse challenges of collaborative combat.

We’re also a trusted partner of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces (DGA), providing safety and security support on nuclear systems throughout their lifecycle, as well as related military air bases and naval infrastructures.

Airbus Protect is proud to be a member of BDLI, the German Aerospace Industries Association

Unmanned aviation: a new challenge in risk analysis

How the safety principles of traditional aviation are being reinvented for the drone era The high safety standards of modern aviation have been built over decades on rigorous engineering like the Particular Risk Analysis (PRA), a methodology for mitigating specific catastrophic risks. But the rapid emergence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), with their electric propulsion [...]

Continued vs. Continuing Airworthiness: They May Sound Alike, But They’re Not the Same

Aviation is known for its precision, and precision in terminology is crucial, especially when it comes to safety. Two terms that often cause confusion are continuing and continued airworthiness.  At first glance, they seem almost interchangeable. However, in regulatory and operational contexts, the two terms refer to different and distinct processes for aviation. Understanding the [...]
