Elements for Nordic Collaboration 2010 10

Industry Key Areas • Saab: Complete aircraft systems, UAS, aerostructures, life-cycle support, systems, missiles • Patria: Life-cycle support, aerostructures, systems, UAS • Kongsberg: Missiles, aerostructures, systems • Terma: Systems, aerostructures 2010 11

Aerospace Engineering Education and Research • • • Two Universities – KTH in Stockholm and Aalto in Helsinki/Espoo Comparable scope of education. Several research establishments involved in aerospace 2010 12

ILO – the Finnish Aerospace Program • Ilmailuteollisuuden ja lentotekniikan ohjelma (ILO) – Program for Aviation Industry and Technology. A joint study by the industry, Finnish Air Force and research establishments • Focus on three areas 1. 2. 3. Networking between actors (both domestic and international) Education and research to guarantee future competence UAS systems 2010 13

NRA Flyg 2010 – the Swedish Aerospace Research Program • • • NRA Flyg 2010 gives 9 areas for Swedish focusing, including: Roadmap, structure for better synergies Selected projects for research, new financing forms Dual and triple use Access to competent personnel 2010 14

Possible Collaboration Areas 2010 15

Country-by-country Focuses? • Sweden is seen as focused on being a forefront high-level systems provider (military and dual use) in international context • Finland is deeply involved in life-cycle and structural integrity management • Sweden and Finland are into UAS development • Norway and Denmark have an interest in selected systems (missiles, EW) • All are working on aerostructures 2010 16

Joint interest areas? • Life-cycle management of new concepts – such as stealth, bonded structures etc. • Ensuring competent personnel through education and research • Cooperation in structures within EDA (GEM) and EU (Framework) programs • UAS technologies and utilisation concepts 2010 17

Way Forward and Challenges • Firstly, we should know more about each others’ competencies, ambitions and focuses. • Secondly, we would need to be ready to give up something to be done by others. • Thirdly, we would need to agree on financing, organising and exploitation of results. • The rest is just work! 2010 18
