AIRBUS

Airbus is today a world leader in aerospace and related services. It was founded in 1970 as a cooperation between the French Aerospatiale and the German Arbeitsgemeinschaft Airbus, an association of several German aviation companies, with the aim of developing a European commercial aircraft. The cooperation was supplemented in the course of the 1970s by partners from Great Britain and Spain. Today’s Airbus Operations GmbH is part of the civil aircraft division, which is the largest part of Airbus.

In the project, Airbus Operations GmbH will conduct research on approaches to dynamic risk assessment and the use of modeling and simulation to study safety aspects of embedded communication and control systems. These systems are not limited to aviation but can also be applied to the areas of production and process automation, as well as to critical infrastructures in general.
