AIAA Aerospace Sciences Group TC Presentation

AIAA Topic: Continuing Operations Results

AIAA Topic: Membership Troubling Trend – 25% decrease in 10 years

AIAA Topic: AIAA Governance An Amended Constitution was proposed on the 2016 ballot Over 4400 members voted or 20.7% of the membership voted. Exceeded the required 15% threshold. Amended Constitution passed with 91.8% approving of the change The changes will not be implemented immediately From Jim Albaugh’s letter… The Board will be discussing a transition plan at the June meeting. It is likely that we will slowly, over a period of a few years, move into the new system. Jim Maser will guide AIAA through the transition. He will continue to communicate frequently—and be transparent about—the progress of the evolution. The Governance Project webpage will continue to be updated.

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Clean Sheet Analysis SciTech 2015 TAC Meeting Asked to look at look at a “Clean Sheet” of the TC/PC structure “We need to look at the problem from the standpoint of what the new model SHOULD be to best serve the members and the Institute. I fear that if we spend too much time gathering information from the TC Chairs on what IS, we will regress to what was.” – Dave Riley Based on anecdotal feedback to Sandy and request by TC to adjust 50 member limit Monthly team telecons Initial Way Forward (lots of scope concern) Identified initial questions and issues Collected current data on TCs/PCs - not spending too much time on this task, but still is a necessary step toward understanding the problem Anticipate periodic vector checks with TAC Possible SciTech Workshop on subject TAC Health Assessment worksheet?? 8 member analysis team TAC Workshop for SciTech

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Trends Membership TCs Current Membership: 2516 people total (76% members, 7% associate, 13% int’l, 4% alumni) Size: Average 35 people per TC, (16 out of 71 TCs at or close to max membership level, 10 are below 25 members) Turnover: Roughly 10% - High as 16% (Applied Aero), Low as 0% (Aircraft Ops, Info & C2, Legal, Mircogravity, Sensors and Info Fusion, Software, Robotics, Space Logistics) New Member Rejections (Sorry letters): 65 out of 422 requests (15 %), 82 out of 422 accepted to other TCs (19%) PCs Current Membership: 387 people total (82% members, 1% associate, 17% int’l), (68% are AIAA members) Size: Average 35 people per PC, (Big as 64, Small as 13) No New Member Data Available Awards (Across 71 TC, very few PC awards) ~40 National-level awards ~31 Best paper awards ~10 Student awards Papers ~4500 TC-papers, plus ~350 PC papers

AIAA Topic: Trends by Groups Papers Awards** Aerospace Design & Structures 9% 16% Aerospace Sciences 53% 32% Aircraft and Atmospheric Systems 6% 11% Information Systems 3% 7% Engineering and Technology Management 1% 5% Propulsion and Energy 15% 22% Space & Missiles Program Committees ** Based on notes in spreadsheet and “no papers or awards” sections

AIAA Topic: Possible SciTech Workshop Team will look at these as well Task One: What Should TCs/PCs be Doing “Requirements” step What do they do now? Brainstorm on what could be done Task Two: What Should be the Structure to Support Activities Other professional organizations Technical structure Governance of these group (start-up and sunset of organizations) Agility of different models

TAC Topic: Forums The dates and locations for the upcoming forums. AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition 9-13 January 2017 Gaylord Texan Grapevine, TX The AIAA Defense and Security Forum and Exposition. 25-27 April 2017 Laurel Maryland Kossiakoff Center at Johns-Hopkins Univ. Applied Physics Laboratory AIAA Aviation and Aeronautics Forum and Exposition 25-29 June 2017 Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel Denver, CO AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition 25-27 July 2016 Salt Palace Salt Lake City, UT AIAA Space and Astronautics Forum and Exposition 13 - 16 September2016 Long Beach Convention Center Long Beach, CA

TAC Topic: Virtual Product Innovation Initiative (VPII) TAC seeks ideas for experiments to explore innovative concepts for virtual content through the Virtual Products Innovation Initiative (VPII). The VPII has three goals: Obtain data on demographics of participants, their satisfaction with various virtual products, and feedback to enhance product value Gain experience in organizing and executing virtual products, events, and activities Explore potential new products of unproven value The Technical Committees and Program Committees (TC/PC) are invited to submit proposals for virtual experiments to achieve those goals.

TAC Topic: VPII Two successful proposals from ASG so far Mars Airplane http://livestream.com/AIAAvideo/MarsAirplane Peggy Hayes is the POC for this AIAA Short Course Hypersonic Lectures https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLndEULTswG5aTuZ4gGTCZ-PWx3JUCFjyk Eric Silk is the POC for this

ASG Technical Forum Chairs ASG Topic: ASG Technical Forum Chairs ASG Chair Rotation and Schedule for SciTech & AVIATION Note: The same person does not need to be a TCs appointee/volunteer for all 3 years of the SciTech cycle. Aviation 2016: LaTunia Melton (FD), Jim Guglielmo (APA), ITAR: Katya Casper SciTech 2017: Richard Ruff (MS), Subrata Roy (PDL), Eric Silk (TP) Aviation 2017: Jim Guglielmo (APA), Tom Wayman (GT), ITAR: Brian McGrath (APA) SciTech 2018: Subrata Roy (PDL), Eric Silk (TP), ? (FD; Need by January 2017) Need TC Discipline leads for SciTech 2018 by January

ASG Topic: ITAR Sessions ITAR Sessions are now supported at AVIATION and P&E U.S. Only Likely more relevant to Government and Industry members Marginal success at AV15 New implementation for AV16 AIAA does have ITAR competition from JANNAF and NSMMS JANNAF overlap with P&E NSMMS overlap with Thermophysics TC and conference

ASG Topic: ITAR Sessions Pseudo committee Chaired by Peggy Hayes (ASG ITAR Lead) Technical Chair Katya Casper (FD) AV 16 Brian McGrath (APA) AV 17 Volunteers from 7 TCs to review papers and chair 7 sessions (Please ask TC members for those interested.) FD, GT, MVCE, PDL, TP, APA, MS Need ASG ITAR Technical Chair for AV18 by next June Maybe one of the current ITAR volunteers Need TC chairs to query their TCs for interest and possible volunteers (one per TC would be nice)

Questions & Comments General Request Dave Riley: So I have this recommendation, that all of the TAC Directors be directed to tell their TCs to actively quiet their tables if necessary at the awards luncheon. If it is important enough for the awards to be given at the luncheon, then it is important for them to get involved to ensure that an appropriate environment is realized! Making it solely the MCs responsibility to quite the crowd is obviously not working, so we need the TC members to assist in quieting the crowd.

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Clean Sheet Analysis Team Lawrence “Robbie” Robertson Air Force Research Lab David Dress NASA Betty Guillie AIAA Wayne Hurwitz Northrop Grumman James A. Keenan US Army Jeffrey R. Laube Aerospace Corporation Thomas E. McLaughlin Air Force Academy John D. Schmisseur UTSI Huge Thanks to Betty for Pulling Together the TC/PC Data

AIAA Topic: Other TC/PC Trends Process Working Groups Used extensively by Applied Aero, Ground Test, Fluids and GN&C “Friends of the TC” used by Structures, Structural Dynamics and others to help with paper review workload Each TC does things very differently Other Activities (Examples) Adaptive Structures: Involved with ASME; produced education kits as outreach to local students Air Breathing Propulsion Systems Integration: Published standards Design Engineering: Involved with Design/Build/Fly competitions Hybrid Rocket: Short Course Intelligent Systems: Roadmap for Intelligent Systems in Aerospace is a major initiative Society and Aerospace Technology: Booth at Tucson Comic Con. Space Architecture: Book being published by Springer Spacecraft Structures: Launched a Wiki page on High Strain Composite's; 2 AIAA books * Does not include Joint AIAA/IEEE Aerospace Controls Conference

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Analysis Initial Conclusions Health TC “One-third” Trend Very Healthy (33%): TCs are highly-active supporting papers, awards and TC-unique activities Good Health (33%): TCs are in good health and providing good support to the Institute at a moderate level No data (33%): TCs have not submitted report in awhile or are struggling PCs: Seem to be either active or with no data on activity
