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.

Institutes 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 IRD 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)
12
Possible Scenario Government Supported Research
Project
Member company or university identifies BAA or
RFP and potential project
From list of faculty experts, contacts
established to discuss collaboration 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
