Institute for Advanced Aerospace Technologies

● Charter Focused, aerospace-related research by a consortium composed of

government, industry, and universities. Facilitate critical research and/or technology development of interest to

industry and government agencies • Environment compliant with proprietary, ITAR and/or DoD classification.• Capabilities to perform experimental testing, theory, and simulations of

emerging technologies and concepts.• Develop research that requires intellectual property protection.• Leverage potential commercialization opportunities.

Offer education opportunities across multidiscipline aerospace technologies.

• Industry and University research participation via internships and/or research assistantships.

• Specialized/focused subject courses for industry and government engineers

• Provide short term research opportunities at the Institute for the Government, Industry, and University community.

Promote aerospace science and engineering, provide public outreach, and stimulate public awareness of the value of the field.

Research and Development in Critical Technologies Supporting Customer Capability

Obtainment

● We consider developing an Institute focused on the research and development of critical technologies with extended maturation timelines.

Critical Technologies

Platforms Capabilities

•Aircraft including UAVs•Launch vehicles•Spacecraft/Satellites

•Aeronautics and Space Vehicle Technologies•Communication, Sensing, Navigation, and Guidance Technologies

•Global Reach•Time Critical Targets•Terrestrial Planet Finder•Surveillance

Institute’s Benefits

● UCLA lead for Consortium● Centrally located (El Segundo/LAAFB)● To provide Universities a mechanism to perform

research within an ITAR environment.● To provide Industry with superior and leveraged

capabilities to perform research and development of critical technologies.Research training of students in areas where industry

has future employment needs● To continue the nation in maintaining its

preeminence in aerospace technology.

Issues for this meeting

● What critical technologies are you planning to invest in over the next decade that could be enhanced by participating in this Institute?Leverage IR&D Dollars with

• Joint Government Grants• Transition of University Research• Investment by the State of California(?)

● What mechanisms should be incorporated into the Institute that would benefit your organization?

Possible Scenario: Industry-Led Research Project

Member company identifies potential research need/project

From list of faculty experts, contacts established to discuss project(within IPA guidelines) and set up research partnership

Contract is established, consistent with required proprietary, ITAR,personnel, and/or classification restrictions

Project is initiated at UCLA, IAAT, or designated locale;interactions with and progress reports to

industry personnel take place as required or needed

Final product delivered to member company (report, presentation, thesis)

Member company or university identifies BAA or RFP and potential project

From list of faculty experts, contacts established to discusscollaboration and prepare proposal

Proposal is submitted, consistent with required proprietary, ITAR,personnel, and/or other restrictions

If funded, project commences at the company, UCLA, IAAT, or designated locale;interactions with and progress reports to

relevant parties take place as required or needed

Final report is prepared and submitted to government agency

Possible Scenario: Government Supported Research Project
