Описание: The aerospace defense and cybersecurity sectors are set to grow by approximately 35% by Q4 2026, driven by rising air travel demand, escalating defense budgets, technological advancements, and geopolitical tensions. The International Air Transport Association forecasts an 11.6% increase in global air passenger traffic for 2024, while global defense spending exceeded $2.4 trillion in 2023, influenced by conflicts involving 59 countries. The U.S. Department of Defense has requested an $850 billion budget for fiscal 2025, focusing on unmanned systems and the burgeoning space economy. Technological integration, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), is transforming operations, with 81% of companies planning to adopt AI for maintenance and efficiency. Advanced air mobility, including electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, is gaining traction for urban transport. However, the sector faces workforce challenges, with an anticipated need for 123,000 technicians in the U.S.
