Risk Studies & Simulation

Understanding risks, simulating scenarios and securing operations

As industries evolve, so do the risks they face—ranging from complex environmental threats to highly technical hazards linked to advanced technologies, materials and processes. Business continuity now depends on the ability to anticipate and mitigate these risks through robust studies, modelling, and simulation.

Whether it’s lightning, fire, nuclear processes, or hazardous substances, addressing these risks with precision and foresight is critical—not only for safety, but for compliance, reputation, and resilience.

Why Airbus Protect?

At Airbus Protect, we provide comprehensive risk analysis and simulation services to ensure operations are safe, compliant, and future-ready. Our teams blend engineering expertise with cross-sector experience to support clients in identifying vulnerabilities, modelling hazardous events, establishing mitigation strategies and ensuring regulatory compliance.

With tailored studies and advanced simulation tools, we help our clients move from risk awareness to risk mastery—ensuring that complex systems remain reliable, safe, and high-performing under all conditions.
