Welcome to AeroSEC 2026 a premium international conference by INCOSE

I am deeply honoured to welcome you to the AeroSEC2026, Aerospace Systems Engineering Conference, by INCOSE, India. This flagship conference, centred on the theme “Advancing Systems Engineering for a Complex and Digital Future”, serves as a premier forum for bringing together researchers, practitioners, industry leaders, policymakers, and academic experts to address the opportunities and challenges shaping the next era of aerospace innovation.

The aerospace sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by increasing system complexity, rapid digitalization, autonomous technologies, and the growing convergence of physical and digital engineering ecosystems. In this environment, systems engineering plays a critical role in enabling the design, integration, verification, and lifecycle management of highly complex aerospace systems. The conference theme highlights the need to evolve systems engineering practices to meet the demands of digital engineering, model-based approaches, artificial intelligence, cyber-physical integration, and resilient system architectures.

This conference aims to provide a dynamic platform for thought leadership, technical exchange, and collaboration across the aerospace community. Participants will engage in discussions on emerging areas such as model-based systems engineering, digital twins, AI-enabled design and operations, sustainable aerospace systems, advanced manufacturing, safety and certification, mission assurance, and future space systems. By connecting diverse perspectives from academia, industry, and government, the conference seeks to foster innovative solutions for the increasingly interconnected aerospace landscape.

A key highlight of AeroSEC2026 is the strong emphasis on industry partnerships and technology exhibitions, creating opportunities for collaboration between academia, research institutions, startups, and established aerospace organizations. Partner organizations will showcase advanced technologies, engineering tools, digital platforms, and innovative solutions through dedicated exhibition spaces. These exhibits will provide attendees with direct exposure to the latest advancements in aerospace design, simulation, manufacturing, testing, and operational systems, while also fostering dialogue on practical applications and future partnerships.

Program includes keynote presentations, technical sessions, workshops and panel discussions aimed at fostering collaboration and driving innovation in aerospace and defence.

We warmly invite technical and research paper contributions from professionals, scholars, and students working in aerospace systems engineering and related disciplines. Submissions are encouraged in areas including, but not limited to, systems architecture, digital transformation, autonomous and intelligent systems, model-based systems engineering, systems safety, verification and validation, human-machine teaming, space mission systems, and sustainable aviation technologies. Contributions that present original research, case studies, practical applications, and forward-looking concepts aligned with the conference theme are especially welcome.

Your participation—whether as an author, presenter, exhibitor, or delegate—will contribute to advancing the body of knowledge and strengthening collaboration in this critical field. We look forward to your valuable contributions and to creating a forum that inspires innovation, technical excellence, and a shared vision for advancing systems engineering in a complex and digital future.
