Physical simulation is a powerful but time-consuming tool for engineers. Both data generation and analysis are time intensive – the iterative process requires many cycles to define a viable solution.

The rgenerated results are difficult to evaluate, visualise and communicate. In addition, physical simulations in aerospace industrial processes, especially with complex engineering components and advanced materials, lead to significant variations that make it difficult to predict production quality prior to implementation.

Miura aims to overcome these challenges in development and high-end manufacturing processes by using PIML technology to develop a predictive quality analysis tool. This tool supports simulation engineers and factory operators in making informed decisions.

By using this technology, Miura provides an in-depth and physically based simulation of part quality that is particularly suited to manufacturing processes that involve complex physical transformations.

Benefits:

• Physics-informed machine learning (PIML) technology to help simulation engineers make improved decisions
• Proprietary technology to accelerate design exploration and improve process design
• Real-time tablet performance
• Engineers and operators can use the generated models as predictive components integrated into their workstations
• These models not only predict part quality, but also provide recommendations for optimal process parameters for each part

Satellite imagery with a resolution of 10 cm is currently not commercially available. Such a high resolution can only be achieved with very expensive satellites, which cannot be scaled up to a cost-effective constellation with global monitoring capabilities.

Remondo is developing an innovative imaging technology that can achieve this very high resolution (10 cm) using low-cost satellites in LEO. While the best commercial satellites currently have a resolution of 30 cm and exceed costs of several hundred million EUR, the cost of a single satellite in this case is 2 orders of magnitude lower. This makes it possible to build a large constellation that can provide global, persistent monitoring for multiple applications. This will break the current boundaries of the entire Earth observation market and thus enables new applications.

Benefits:

• High-resolution satellite imagery (10 cm) at a cost saving of 2 orders of magnitude per satellite compared to current approaches
• Enabling the cost-efficient establishment of a global satellite constellation for daily coverage of high-accuracy Earth observation data
• Facilitation of new applications and use cases with Earth observation data

Satellites are an essential part of our critical infrastructure, providing services such as navigation, communication and Earth Observation. Recent cybersecurity challenges in the telecom supply chain and a rising number of criminal and state-sponsored actors are seeking to disrupt communications demonstrate: There is no secure communications infrastructure without adequate cyber defences.

DISC has developed a hardware-based intrusion detection module for satellites called eClypse. It requires no processing or storage resources on the satellite and cannot be manipulated by an attacker. The development of this TRL6 prototype was supported by innovation funding from the Canadian Department of National Defence. It has been proven in a Magellan Aerospace laboratory and, as a result of our development and security design process, can be integrated into any satellite platform.

The next step for DISC is to create a secure satellite prototype ready for a space mission. This will take eClypse to TRL8, ready for a subsequent mission at TRL9.

Benefits

• Enhanced cyber-security and privacy for all users of satellite services
• Can be integrated into any satellite platform
• Enables platform operators to continuously monitor the internal security status of their platform
• Does not require processing or storage resources
• Hardware-based approach enables protection against remote tampering by 3rd party actors
