Student delegation from ISAE-SUPAERO
A delegation of military and civilian students from ISAE-SUPAERO and the Institute’s Director General, Olivier Lesbre, accompanied Sébastien Lecornu, Minister for the Armed Forces, on a visit to drone manufacturer Delair on Thursday 29 February in Toulouse.
On the theme of the war economy, the ministerial visit was organised on the occasion of the French government’s order to Delair for 150 intelligence drones to be used in the Ukrainian theatre of operations. Sébastien Lecornu also took the opportunity to announce an order for 2,000 kamikaze drones.
Dominique Faure, the French Minister for Local Authorities and Rural Affairs, was also present, as were several members of the staff of the French Defence Procurement Agency (Direction Générale de l’Armement).
Located in Labège, Delair has a special relationship with ISAE-SUPAERO, since the institute has supported the company since its creation and given it access to its resources, laboratories and students. For several years, these relations have been structured within a joint laboratory dedicated to long-endurance mini-UAVs. They are currently continuing with the Mermoz hydrogen drone project.
Training and research in the defence sector
Under the supervision of the Ministry of Defence, ISAE-SUPAERO is a major player in defence research. Strategic defence projects from the Institute’s laboratories are partly funded by the Defence Innovation Agency (DIA) in areas of strategic interest to defence, or of direct interest to it. The institute also works on behalf of industries directly linked to defence (ADS, Thales, Safran, etc.), for example by developing optical sensors for satellites for over 25 years.
ISAE-SUPAERO also trains military students. As an École d’application de l’X, the General Engineering course takes in around thirty Polytechnique engineers each year, as well as engineers from the Armaments Research and Engineering Department (IETA) undergoing initial training, and armed forces officers in the course of their careers.
