Aerospace America Year in Review Article
•
2014 Article published in Dec. Aerospace America, written by Tom
Goudreau (thanks Tom!) and covered mgmt topics incl.:
– Geo-political environment and its affect on aerospace
– Defense spending: With the spending caps in place in the Budget
Control Act (BCA) the debate appears to have shifted from “how
much should be spent on defense” to “what should be bought
with the limited defense dollars we have”.
– Commercial Industry sales and future prospects
– Industry wide affordability initiatives, incl. additive manufacturing
– Confronting and challenging risk aversion in aerospace
acquisition

Special Request
Possible AIAA Foundation Scholarship
•
•
•
•
•
•
AIAA Foundation Board of Trustees reviewed of the Foundation financials; the von
Braun account has grown to a sizeable dollar amount
BoT would like to establish a scholarship for either undergraduate or graduate
students in honor of von Braun.
The Foundation oversees nine undergraduate and seven graduate scholarships
– The graduate scholarships also have the additional requirement of a research
outline
– AIAA staff manages the overall process similar to the way the professional
awards are managed.
Undergraduate scholarship applications are reviewed and selected by the Student
Activities Committee
Selection and review of the graduate scholarships is done by the TC that has the
knowledge and expertise of the subject area.
– Space Systems and Management TCs would make award election
Scholarship Amounts: Currently scholarship amounts range from $1500 - $5,000.
The TCs will need to determine the amount of the award. The account can fund up
to a $5,000 scholarship
Management Technical Committee
Special Request
Possible AIAA Foundation Scholarship
• Discussed the subject award at the Dayton mtg
• TCM members, who are also current or former academics, helped us understand
the current picture as far as the need for and most effective use of engineering
scholarship resources
– Our belief is that the greatest need is at the undergraduate level
– Mgmt TC strongly recommended that this money be used to establish at least
one undergraduate scholarship at the $5000 level. An alternative would be to
establish two scholarships for undergraduates at the level of $2500 each.
• It is our understanding that if the Foundation Board accepts this
recommendation, that the TC will have no further or continuing responsibilities.
• If the Board should decide to fund a graduate level scholarship, we will discuss
with the Space Systems TC the responsibilities for doing the application
evaluations
– Within AIAA, the knowledge and expertise associated with the proposed
von Braun scholarship target area resides with the Space Systems TC
– We will discuss responsibilities with them, if need be.

Reducing Acquisition Cycle Time or
Product Development and Delivery Cycle Time
•
•
Purpose: Explore the interest and enthusiasm by our TC
membership to take up the topic of
– acquisition cycle time (if you think in terms of defense or
government programs)
Or
– product development and delivery cycle time (if you work
in the civilian aviation industry)
A way for the TC to make a contribution to the Institute and
to the industry as a whole

In Hunstville, Mike Griffin challenged us to take up the question of
Acquisition Cycle time as the important topic to our industry
To offer up perspectives and actionable solutions to leaders in military
and civilian segments of industry
We discussed at ATT and decided to approach CASE organizers about
working this into the CASE mtg agenda and agenda
At CASE 2015, Monday afternoon, CASE will be the P.M. Forum 360
