Our colleagues Ondřej Flášar and Marek Havlíček attended FUTURE FORCES EXHIBITION on 22 OCT 2026 to explore new technologies, exchange ideas and connect with professionals across the industry.

A few highlights caught their attention:
▪️ CSG Group – the new Czech transport vehicle showcased at the event
▪️ MURMUS by Czechia Systems – a platform designed to combine hard-kill and soft-kill capabilities for counter-UAS protection, including the protection of critical infrastructure
▪️ Componentas – interesting engine technologies worth exploring further

For FAAW, events like this are an opportunity to look beyond our own projects, understand where technology is heading and discover potential areas for collaboration.

Because better engineering decisions start with understanding what is possible.

Tomorrow, FAAW will be at FUTURE FORCES FORUM
Our colleagues will be attending FUTURE FORCES FORUM tomorrow to connect with industry professionals, exchange ideas and discuss engineering challenges and new opportunities.

At FAAW, we believe that good engineering starts with asking the right questions. And often, the best solutions begin with a conversation.

Will you be there too? Let's connect!

Our visit to INTER DRONE EXPO 2026 in Sofia gave us a closer look at how the Bulgarian UAV ecosystem is developing.

Alongside multirotor and drone manufacturers, we also discovered specialised companies such as GM Propellers, a manufacturer of carbon propellers for UAV applications.

Together with our Bulgarian partner Aviumtechnologies Ltd. and our neighbour Dehyx, we met new companies and professionals from the UAV and aviation industry and exchanged ideas about potential cooperation.

For us, events like this are not only about presenting Athena UAV.
They are also about:
→ understanding what customers need
→ discovering new technologies and capabilities
→ meeting potential partners
→ finding opportunities to work together

And looking at the current situation in the Black Sea region, we see growing relevance for UAV applications in coastal monitoring and infrastructure protection.

Long-range platforms, reliable communications and mission-specific payloads can play an important role in monitoring large and difficult-to-access areas.

The UAV industry is growing — and so are the opportunities to apply these technologies where they can make a practical difference.

Thank you to everyone we met in Sofia — and especially to our partner AVIUMTECHNOLOGIES for sharing the booth with us.

Three cities. One engineering question
What does the mission environment really look like?

Barcelona
Oslo
Sofia

And part of the work was looking at something that is easy to underestimate:
the terrain
Coastlines
Harbours
Urban areas
Remote locations
Distances between them

Because a drone designed for real missions cannot be developed only around its specifications.

It needs to work in the environment where the mission actually happens.

We are exploring how one unmanned platform can support missions that combine surveillance and logistics — observing an area while also being able to transport and deliver what is needed.

That creates a different set of engineering questions:
How far does it need to fly?
What does it need to see?
Where can it safely operate?
How does the terrain affect navigation and communication?

And perhaps most importantly:
Can one platform perform more than one job without making the system unnecessarily complex?

Sometimes the best way to answer these questions is not another simulation.
It's to get on a plane and look at the terrain yourself.

Některá letadla obdivujete.
U jiných přemýšlíte, proč jsou navržená právě tak.

Na leteckém dni v Šumperku jsme se dívali na obojí.

Akrobatické ukázky Martina Šonky a Jana Rudzinskyje byly samozřejmě zážitek. Stejně jako ukázka přerušeného startu L-13 Blaník.

Ale z pohledu konstruktéra nás zaujaly i samotné konstrukce.

✈️ Evektor EV-55 Outback – český dopravní letoun z Kunovic. Pro našeho kolegu navíc osobní připomínka – na jeho vývoji se dříve podílel v oddělení výpočtů.

🔩 Junkers A50 Junior – krásná ukázka klasické kovové konstrukce.

🛩️ Zlín Z-37 Čmelák – konstrukce, která je fascinujícím způsobem podřízená použitelnosti, výrobě a provozu.

A právě to je na letectví zajímavé.
Nejen co létá.
Ale proč je to navržené právě tak.

Díky Aeroklubu Šumperk za skvěle zorganizovaný letecký den. Program odsýpal jak na běžícím páse – jedna krása za druhou.

A wrong AI answer is easy to spot.
A wrong AI assumption may not be.

That was one of the questions raised during EASA AI Days 2026.

And it led to a much bigger discussion:
How do we validate an AI system when the problem isn't an obviously wrong answer — but an assumption somewhere in the process that looks reasonable?

The questions from the audience showed how practical this challenge already is.

How should we validate and govern AI-supported systems before relying on them?

What happens when an organisation uses agentic AI to perform parts of its processes while human roles such as CVE, HDO or HOA retain the final responsibility?

And perhaps one of the most difficult questions:
How do we handle configuration control and continued airworthiness when an AI system can continuously learn or change?

These are not only AI questions.
They are engineering questions.

They touch:
- validation
- configuration control
- human oversight
- change management
- accountability
- certification
- continued airworthiness

And this is where AI in aviation becomes particularly interesting.

We are not simply adding another software tool to an aircraft.
We are potentially introducing a system whose behaviour can be difficult to fully predict, explain and control.

For UAV development, this matters even more as autonomy and AI become increasingly connected.

The interesting part of EASA AI Days is therefore not only what AI can do.

It is the discussion about what AI should be allowed to do — and what evidence we need before we trust it.

Seven Parts Became Two.
When we developed our Pitot-Static Probe, we didn't start with:
"How can we 3D print this?"

We started with a different question:
If we could redesign this product without the constraints of conventional manufacturing, how would we design it today?

That question changed the entire architecture.

By redesigning the probe for powder-bed additive manufacturing, we reduced the assembly from seven parts to two main components.

The PA12 body integrates functions that previously required several separate parts.

The aluminium head remains a separate component – because that's where the material properties of metal matter.

The result:
- fewer parts
- fewer interfaces
- simpler assembly
- shorter tolerance chains
- easier quality control
- lower risk of assembly errors

The important part wasn't replacing every conventional process with 3D printing.

It was choosing the right manufacturing method for each part of the product.

PA12 where additive manufacturing allowed us to integrate functions.
Aluminium where the material properties were essential.

Sometimes the biggest advantage of additive manufacturing isn't a new manufacturing process.

It's the opportunity to rethink the product itself.

The Biggest Advantage of Additive Manufacturing Isn't Printing.
When people think about additive manufacturing, they often think about complex geometries.
We often start somewhere else.

Does this product really need to consist of so many parts?

That's where additive manufacturing can fundamentally change the design.
Instead of manufacturing individual components and assembling them later, functions can sometimes be integrated into a single part.
That can mean:
- fewer components
- fewer interfaces
- fewer fasteners
- shorter tolerance chains
- simpler assembly
- lower assembly risk

The goal isn't to print more.
The goal is to make the product simpler.
But that doesn't mean additive manufacturing replaces conventional manufacturing.

Different parts still need different materials and manufacturing processes.
The engineering challenge is deciding where additive manufacturing creates real value – and where it doesn't.

We applied this approach when developing our Pitot-Static Probe.
Instead of taking an existing assembly and simply converting individual parts for 3D printing, we reconsidered the entire product architecture.
A seven-part assembly became two main components.
The result wasn't simply a 3D-printed product.
It was a different product architecture.
