Call for Rapporteurs to attend SKA 2010 22nd-25th March - The Electronics KTN is looking to sponsor upto 5 delegates to attend the SKA 2010 conference to act as "rapporteurs" on the technical developments being undertaken. Each rapporteur will be expected to produce a brief report on the information that they gained with a focus on the opportunities for UK industry. We will cover the conference fees, hotel and travel for period of the conference. For full details contact me on: nigel.rix@electroncis-ktn.com By Nigel Rix (11/03/10) ... more
SKA - Meet the teams - evening event March 24th in Manchester - The SKA is one of the most advanced development projects being undertaken jointly by academics and industry. With teams spread throughout the globe it is very difficult to meet all the experts who are interested in working with industry. We are holding an event on Wednesday 24th March at Manchester Museum between 6pm and 9pm to give UK companies the opportunity to make contacts with the experts.

SKA 2010 - Unique opportunity to meet the SKA developers from round the world - register by 5th March - The SKA is an iconic project for the electronics sector as it brings together the skills of both academics and industry to meet one of the most challenging developments of our time. To design and build the world's largest radio telescope is a project that requires global collaborations - and 1.5 Billion Euros! However the advances required to achieve the project's goals are also those advances required by industry for tomorrow data communication and data processing solutions. High speed communications, low noise & low power electronics, data processing based on multicore DSP and supercomputing technologies. SKA 2010 is being held in Manchester between 22nd and 25th March. This year's event may well mark the tipping point from academic research into engineering - and so is an ideal time for companies to participate in a unique conference bringing together the world's leading developers to discuss current progess and the next steps.

North West Aerospace Alliance - Developing the Autonomous Systems Supply Chain
by Guy Horsley (14 May 2010)
The NWAA is delivering the Aerospace Supply Chain Excellence Programme (ASCE2). A key part of the programme is a focus on Commodity Groups based on existing regional strengths. One of the groups is concerned with developing the supply chain for Autonomous Systems.
The North West Aerospace Alliance has been contracted to deliver the Aerospace Supply Chain Excellence Programme (ASCE2) with the North West Development Agency (NWDA).

The contract is backed by £7m of funding from the NWDA and the European Regional Development Fund. It also has strong industry support and backing from the key aerospace customers in the region, notably BAE Systems, Airbus and Rolls Royce, as well as working closely with 45 strategic Northwest aerospace suppliers. The ASCE2 programme will deliver a “world-class” aerospace supply chain in the Northwest of England by focussing on developing capability and performance and by establishing a wider enterprise of companies and organisations. The project has 5 specific themes which will focus on Commodity Groups, Skills, Innovation, Shared Services and the creation of Extended Enterprises. Much of the work is focussed on Commodity Groups which have been selected based on existing expertise within the region and mapped against future aircraft technology requirements. Autonomous Systems is one of these Commodity Groups.

The NWAA work on Autonomous Systems is being led by Guy Horsley. Guy’s first task is to identify organisations that are either based in or may have the capability to contribute to the autonomous systems supply chain in the Northwest. He will then work with those organisation to identify key strengths and weaknesses and form the foundation for future potential opportunities to enable them to develop their capabilities to create a world-class autonomous systems supply chain capability.

For further information please contact Guy on 07870 257 632 or at guy.horsley@aerospace.co.uk
