LaunchPad With Saab - Human Machine Interface - Part 2 🤖

​Linköping developers, designers, and tech builders - this one's for you!

​Join the second LaunchPad session of 2026 with Saab and explore how cockpit interfaces in aircraft like the Gripen are designed for clarity, speed, and decision making under pressure. ✈️

​Saab experts will share how visuals, controls, feedback, and information are structured to support situational awareness in demanding environments - and how these principles translate into modern software development, UX design, and human - centered systems.

​If you work with software, UX/UI, systems engineering, AI, or product development, this is a rare chance to learn from one of the most advanced engineering environments. 🤖

​Come for the insights - stay for the pizza and conversations with the Linköping tech community! 🍕🤝
