NATIONAL AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY EXPLOITATION PROGRAMME (NATEP)

National Aerospace Technology Programme (NATEP) Allow development of products and manufacturing technologies at lower levels of the supply chain. Encourage supply chain partnerships with customer participation. Support R&D management in the supply chain. Focus on middle TRLs. National Aerospace Technology Programme (NATEP) Current phase: Launched

Lifting off with technology - NATEP Invest £39.5M in aerospace technology development Including £23M government funding Committed over 3.5 years To create and safeguard jobs… 1,200 jobs through 100 projects To support technology development throughout the supply chain

AGP brings the UK aerospace industry and Government together to address barriers to growth, boost exports and grow the number of high-value jobs in the UK. To ensure that the UK remains Europe’s largest aerospace manufacturer. Top level group is Aerospace Business Leaders group chaired by Vince Cable; senior level business/BIS representation. Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP) jointly chaired by Michael Fallon MP, Minister of State for Business and Enterprise, and Marcus Bryson, VP Aerospace at ADS. Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) is the vehicle to deliver the technology dimension of AGP HMG Issued Strategy Implementation Document ‘Lifting off’ in March 2013 NATEP Programme Launched at Paris by Michael Fallon NATEP www.natep.org.uk

National Aerospace Technology Programme (NATEP) Delivered by UK Aerospace supply chain companies Supported by the UK’s regional aerospace alliances Programme managed by ADS, the UK national aerospace body Funded by BIS as part of AMSCI

Objectives of NATEP Deliver 100 technology capabilities in the UK aerospace supply chain Develop 250 UK aerospace supply chain companies technology and business capabilities and capacities Create/sustain 1200 high value jobs in the UK aerospace supply chain Align aerospace OEMs, mid-caps, SMEs and HEIs/Catapults within ‘Lifting Off’ strategy and its implementation Deploy developed technologies in global aerospace platforms by 2020/25 Using a proven model (Midlands Aerospace Alliance Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (ATEP) (2006-12) -- 11 successful projects funded) Programme to encourage “bottom up” technology capability development within UK aerospace supply chain £40m programme (£23m grant funds) to mature 100 undeveloped aerospace technologies Stimulate new technologies via small partnerships of SMEs, mid-cap business units with ‘end customer’ route to market and Catapult/Academic participation Provide sustained business development and project delivery support through the Regional Aerospace Alliances Model is proven (Midlands Aerospace Alliance Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (ATEP) (2006-12) -- 11 successful projects funded) A dedicated NATEP Programme office located close to MAA in Coventry (at Binley Business Innovation Centre)

High temperature heat exchanger Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme High temperature heat exchanger Lead: HS Marston Aerospace Ltd Partners: Advanced Chemical Etching (SME technology provider) and Rolls-Royce (end user). Objective Application of new material and processes to extend operating temperature of heat exchangers by ~ 300C. Deliverables New manufacturing process specs and designs and report demonstrating higher temperature capability. Etching of high temp corrosion free alloys demonstrated. Outcomes Learned how to work with higher temp material; led to successful application in new market prototype. New laboratory for ACE (HF free etching of Ti) now used in major new business. 7

Aerospring Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme Lead: G&O Springs (SME) Partners: Alloy Wire (SME), Reliable Spring Manufacturing (SME), Institute of Spring Technology (research provider), Aero Engine Controls, BAE Systems (end users). Objective To manufacture springs in novel materials chosen by the end users, eg titanium and nickel alloys. Testing the springs. Update existing design packages with test data, allowing lower mass designs. Deliverables CAD design package with new test data. Validated test data - accurate fatigue predictions for the first time. Cross-sector applications identified. Engineers from new customers have access to software. 8

6. Sharing best practices ATEP: Structured process to technology development and supplier development 1. Sharing the long-term requirements vision 2. Supply chain technology planning 3. Technical and business feasibility 4. Technology and business development 5. Customer development and technology deployment 1 6. Sharing best practices Critical success factors (CSFs): Suppliers working directly with customers Facilitated technology planning Access to programme management expertise Sustained independent mentoring Industry directing universities Support with global customers 9
