NATEP Innovation Directory Foreword NATEP Innovation Directory Foreword Welcome to this directory of over 140 exciting R&T projects supported by NATEP, the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme. NATEP assists companies in the aerospace supply chain to work collaboratively in the development of innovative technologies through a unique combination of match funding, mentoring and end user support. The mentoring is provided by a high calibre technical and management resource to help companies accelerate their technology development towards market readiness. Participation in the programme equips project partners to win new business with existing customers and to diversify their customer base. Since 2013 the programme has brought together National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme technology collaborations of more than 350 aerospace supply chain micro, small and medium sized companies. Funding new technologies and new manufacturing The technologies developed within the NATEP Programme will be used on productivity in the aerospace supply chain current and new aircraft programmes, increasing productivity, creating jobs and injecting new R&D capabilities into the supply chain. NATEP companies are supported to be better able to win work with existing customers and new customers, particularly in export markets, as well as in cross sectors markets such as the automotive, energy or rail sectors. The NATEP programme, is an Aerospace Growth Partnership initiative, dedicated to supporting the future of the aerospace sector in the UK. I hope that you will be interested to read about these exciting projects. If you would like to learn more about them, please contact the companies directly delivered by through the contacts given.

  • Leading Defence Companies Partner for FRES Programme
    Fusion Third Floor 25 Templar Avenue Farnborough, GU14 6FE United Kingdom A Finmeccanica Company Farnborough, 4-09-2007 Leading defence companies partner for FRES programme A group of major defence companies has today announced their teaming arrangement to compete for the System of Systems Integrator (SOSI) role on the UK Ministry of Defence’s Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) vehicle programme. Their combined commitment is reflected in their joint response to the MoD’s recently issued Pre-Qualification Questionnaire for the FRES SOSI Operating through Fusion and led by Finmeccanica, the team – Finmeccanica, MBDA, General Dynamics UK and BAE Systems - will seek to be awarded the FRES SOSI role. If selected, it will provide its wealth of FRES SOSI-related expertise to work in partnership with the UK MoD to ensure effective delivery of the FRES capability. In this role, Fusion would reinforce the MoD in achieving operational coherence with both the British Army’s existing armoured fighting vehicles fleet and other networked defence assets at the time of initial FRES fielding, sustaining coherence through life. The four companies would apply their proven UK based competence from complex programmes to achieve rapid insertion of effective technology from the MoD’s supply base to ensure battle winning capability for our armed forces deployed in operations. “Each team member contributes to the balance of skills required for a strong systems integrator role on this major program and Fusion will be demonstrably independent of individual suppliers” says Sir Kevin Tebbit, Chairman of Finmeccanica UK. “Our strategic objective is to bring this expertise to bear, in full partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence and the potential supply chain, to ensure a through- life response to the requirement which is low risk, provides value for money and is compliant with the Defence Industrial Strategy.” About Fusion Led by Finmeccanica, Fusion offers the best in integration skills, programme management expertise and knowledge of synthetic environments needed for the FRES programme.

Key to the success of the program was the high degree of commonality between On this occasion, we were able to exploit the US Army the three different workstation variants: VUDT (Vehicle MFoCS contract that we had originally won in 2013 User Data Terminal): BMDT (Bowman Management Data and again in 2018 in the form of MFoCS II.
