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 areas1. Networking between actors (both

domestic and international)

2. Education and research to guarantee future competence

3. UAS systems

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

Possible Collaboration Areas

2010

16

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

17

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

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!
