At Aerospace Tech Week, Airbus’ Grzegorz Ombach d
During the interview, Ombach selected and unpacked the three technologies he is most excited by and explained their relevance to the industry: Agentic AI, microfusion energy, and quantum sensors. Speaking on potential use cases of quantum sensors, he explained:
“And the new sensors are coming from the industry like automotive for example. We are talking about radars, lighters and also the one interesting sensor which we see coming as a next, next, next generation is all about the quantum to measure the position of the aircraft in aerospace. If, for example, you don’t have available GPS and you would like to use this sensor for smart automation parallel to the computer vision which is going to be the eyes for the aircraft as well.”
The conversation also touched on Airbus’ ongoing projects as well as the critical industry challenges that they are responding to. For the full conversation, watch below.
