What's changing in onboard technology.
AI assistants, LEO satellite networks, software-defined AV, private 5G onboard. The gap between best practice today and best practice five years ago is widening — owners are commissioning systems now that will look dated before handover.
Part of the brief on every project is steering equipment and architecture choices that age well, not chasing what's in the brochure. Knowing what's coming matters as much as knowing what's installed.
Watch list: AI and LLM-based tooling for technical documentation and crew troubleshooting. Starlink-class connectivity architecture. SDN-based AV/IT. Cyber-resilience for increasingly connected platforms.
