WORKING GROUPS - MAIN ACTIVITIES
 Nucleo Tecnico Scientifico (NTS): coordinate R&I activities,
covers the whole range of products, services, technologies
 Supply Chain: promote industrial collaboration, develop best
practices (ex.: KPIs; LEAN; E-scouting; Web site… )
 Internationalisation & Marketing: links and networking
(EACP; Air show, fairs…)
 Education & Training: policies, “design” of E&T initiatives;
H&A Master - LIUC
 Credit & Finance: catching opportunities, steering new ones
SPACE: Flagship Program
TARGET: provide applications on the governance of the territory,
for the welfare of the citizen, focused on security and emergency
management and implemented through the use of Earth
Observation data acquired from stratospheric platforms, which
provide real-time services, and integrated with satellite data
and/or to the ground.
SPACE: Flagship Program
Stratospheric Platform (HAP- High Altitude Platform)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Aircraft automatic, quasi-stationary, positioned in the stratosphere
Quote varies between 14 and 20km,
Performance comparable to a satellite in low orbit,
Costs of implementation and launch reduced,
Availability of real-time data on areas at a regional scale,
Ability to reposition based on the levels of alert,
Possibility of maintenance and/or replacement of the instruments on board.
SPACE: Flagship Program
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL AREAS :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Structural materials, anti-icing systems
Photovoltaic systems
Hydrogen Technologies (filling gas and fuel cells)
Innovative propulsion systems
Guidance Systems, Navigation and Control
On-board electronics
Electro-optical payload development, telecommunications and radar
SPACE: Flagship Program
Flagship Program SPACE target:
• Bring the system to the aerospace industry Lombard/national, first the
SME, and Research Centers to increase the technological know-how and
develop new business opportunities;
• Create innovative services for the citizen based on the use of the real-time
remote data, not currently available and high regional, national and
European
• Enabling technologies can be developed through participation in the
European Framework Programme Horizon 2020 which can promote the
competitiveness of SMEs in Europe.
