LaunchPad with Saab – From Wings With Computers to Computers With Wings
- 24 Sep 2026, 17:00-19:00
- Skylten Södra Oskarsgatan 3, 582 73 Linköping (Hybrid)
From 60 years of avionics computer development at Saab to the technology shaping the autonomous fighters of the future!
Join us for a journey through six decades of innovation, leading up to what’s needed for future autonomous fighters to carry out complex, collaborative missions in highly contested environments.
How are hardware and software for synthetic perception and cognition enabling flight autonomy, tactical autonomy and human-autonomy teaming? And how is the combat cloud challenging the way we think about computers and connectivity?
Big questions, fascinating technology – and, we promise, at least some questions will be answered.
Come for the insights – stay for the pizza and conversations with the Linköping tech community! 🍕🤝
Online participation is also available, just select online when you register.
