Air Force Innovation in focus: Enhancing operational capabilities

How does the Swedish Air Force use innovation and collaborate with academia, startups, and industry to accelerate capability development and address tomorrow’s security challenges? Welcome to an in-depth session hosted by KTH Innovation.

The Swedish Air Force is coming to KTH Innovation on November 20 and is looking for researchers and innovators that can help it solve the emerging operational needs.

Beyond next-generation fighter aircraft, the focus is shifting toward intelligent sensor ecosystems, AI-driven decision support for mission planning and command, and agile innovation pipelines that can rapidly respond to emerging operational needs. At this event, you’ll gain insights into how the capability development process works in practice, how it is currently evolving at high speed, and how collaboration with students, researchers, and startups can help meet future needs faster.
