The IRT Saint Exupéry has been selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to deploy the innovative technologies of the IRMA project aboard the Φsat-2 satellite. This major milestone highlights the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance environmental monitoring from space. The IRMA project (AI for Mission Reactivity based on Image Analysis) aims to[…]
Join us at JEC World 2025, March 4-6, to discover our innovation at the Innovation Planets Space . Developed for an innovative structural application in micro-tunnel linings, our patented sandwich structure consists of a hollow cylindrical alumina core wrapped in CMC skins. As every year, we will be present at JEC World 2025 alongside IRT[…]
The IRT Saint Exupéry has made critical embedded systems one of its areas of expertise. In a previous article, we explained why research activities in the field of software are essential, particularly in the aerospace and space sectors. We continue our series of content dedicated to this research theme by highlighting the importance of system[…]
Each year, the IRT Saint Exupéry presents the results of its professional equality index. This is a tool designed to combat pay inequalities between men and women and is compulsory for all companies with at least 50 employees. Find out more about IRT Saint Exupéry’s full results for 2024 in the details below: In 2024,[…]
A large portion of the technical systems surrounding us implement software executed by a “computer.” The failure of these systems can have disastrous consequences on financial, environmental, or human levels. Therefore, their development is subject to strict constraints aimed at lowering the probability of such events to a level deemed acceptable from both economic and[…]
The EasyMOD project, funded with 2 million euros over 3.5 years, aims to transform systems engineering through the development of innovative tools tailored to the needs of engineers and systems architects. Currently, systems engineering tools based on modeling (MBSE) suffer from numerous limitations, including outdated and difficult-to-use human-machine interfaces (HMIs). These issues directly impact productivity,[…]
With a budget of 40 million euros and for a duration of 36 months, the ARCHIMEDES project started in April 2023. With a name largely inspired by the Greek scientist, and bringing together 49 partners across Europe, the ARCHIMEDES project draws its inspiration from the ambition to enhance new technologies for the energy transition, safety[…]
The European FASTLANE project, coordinated by the industrial leader VALEO, and with a total amount of 90 million euros for 3 years, brings together 21 partners across Europe around the SiC silicon carbide value chain. THE PROJECT The objective of this ambitious project is to address the complete value chain of SiC technology in order[…]
