Op-Ed: Aviation cybersecurity needs “Internet-age” resilience as AI becomes embedded in operations The op-ed argues that as AI is permanently integrated into aviation infrastructure, cybersecurity must shift toward building system-wide resilience rather than treating defense as point fixes. It frames resilience as the capability to withstand, adapt to, and continue operating amid evolving cyber pressures.

Quantum Systems + Planet Labs push “satellite-to-drone” ISR by linking EO tasking to autonomous aerial collection Quantum Systems and Planet Labs describe a shift from delayed Earth-imagery delivery to a continuous ISR loop: satellites cue and feed autonomous drones, converting Earth observation into near-real-time, actionable intelligence. The approach targets faster sensing-to-decision cycles and a more operationally integrated EO value chain.
