4CON provides consultancy work geared to evaluating for agencies, ministries and the larger commercial companies the evolution of technologies in key areas with a view to advising them on what technological advances are likely to have future commercial impacts. We offer consultancy services aimed at determining the impact of new technologies in the space domain. Examples of these are the applications of microgravity, automation and robotics to low earth orbit and space-station exploitation, the impact of digital broadcasting on telecommunication satellite design and the implications of miniaturisation and of artificial intelligence such as expert systems and neural networks on all kinds of space systems design.

We also offer studies of technology transfer issues and of spin-off and spin-on. Additionally, 4CON can carry out technological risk assessments for insurance corporations and groups who may wish to assess the risks they are requested to cover in areas such as launcher and satellite system reliability, general security of space systems and similar risk areas.

4CON can also provide technology assessments beyond those offered by companies that are competent in the technology area in general but have limited space knowledge. 4CON provides comprehensive consultancy work in this area with agencies, commercial aerospace and other commercial and institutional entities.
