Laura Samsó Pericón is a researcher and strategist focused on cyber resilience, AI-enabled autonomy, and trusted human-machine teaming, including MUM-T and high-altitude platform concepts. With 15+ years of international experience across civil and defence environments and multi-domain operational settings, her work examines AI-enabled decision-making in manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) contexts and cognitive and neuro-adaptive technologies. She previously served as an Executive Vice President and co-founded a technology venture, adding business and leadership depth to her technical expertise. She has also contributed to regulatory and standards bodies, alongside expert groups and international defence forums addressing autonomy, cyber resilience, and emerging technologies. As Founder of Synarea Insights, she advances an assurance-by-design approach – integrating cyber, autonomy, AI, HMI / BCI, ethics, and secure human integration – to strengthen trust and mission performance in future capabilities in defence operations. Her background in Electronics and Aerospace, plus expedition leadership in high-challenge field environments, informs her perspective on resilience, trust and decision-making under uncertainty.
