Dans un contexte de transition énergétique et de réduction des émissions de CO₂, l’électrification des transports est un enjeu majeur. Le projet RepowerDrive, lancé en mai 2024 pour une durée de quatre ans, vise à améliorer l’efficacité et la densité de puissance, tout en garantissant une bonne compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM). Il regroupe plusieurs acteurs industriels[…]
The GLAD project (Functionally Graded materials with LAser Metal Deposition) concluded in 2024, with the main objective of developing materials with a chemical composition gradient (FGM – Functionally Graded Materials) in order to improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of an aircraft engine casing, while keeping production costs down. The LMD-p process for additive manufacturing of[…]
For more than ten years, the IRT Saint Exupéry has been supporting research projects related to ‘Critical Embedded Systems‘ through a dedicated competence center.

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,[…]
