Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

  • Challenges for European Aerospace Suppliers Contents Introduction 3
    Aviation, Aerospace & Defense CHALLENGES FOR EUROPEAN AEROSPACE SUPPLIERS CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 MANAGING GROWTH AND NEW CHALLENGES 4 European aerospace suppliers’ challenges 5 DEVELOPING A ROBUST AND AGILE SUPPLY CHAIN 6 What should OEMs and suppliers do? 8 DEVELOPING THE FOOTPRINT 9 Extending the footprint to new geographies 9 Managing the footprint extension 9 BOOSTING INNOVATION 11 Development of composite materials 11 Toward 100 percent electric aircraft 12 Improving innovation and development performance 15 CONCLUSIONS 15 INTRODUCTION Airlines around the world are ordering new planes and demanding new technology. As a result, the global aerospace industry is growing and aerospace suppliers must become more innovative and flexible to keep up. The industry faces three main challenges in the next decade, according to a study conducted by Oliver Wyman of the European aerospace industry. Suppliers must: • Design and develop more complex parts and systems, with higher technology content, shorter lead times, and at a competitive cost • Extend their supply chain footprint to emerging markets • Upgrade production capabilities and share more financial and operational risks with original equipment manufacturers These challenges will have a direct impact on supply chain management, which thus must become more robust and agile. They also come at a time when the industry must deal with a number of exogenous issues. Market demand is growing continuously for both original equipment and spare parts, while airlines are asking for increasing diversity in aircraft models. The industry faces new competition from emerging countries, OEMs are creating an international supply base, and regulators are writing stronger environmental and noise rules for aircraft.

    Modeling & Simulation for Experimentation, Test & Evaluation and Training: Alenia Aeronautica Experiences and Perspectives Mrs. Marcella Guido Alenia Aeronautica Simulation & System’s Operability C.so Marche 41, 10146 Torino Italy [email protected] Mr. Cristiano Montrucchio Alenia Aeronautica Simulation & System’s Operability Manager C.so Marche, 41, 10146 Torino Italy [email protected] ABSTRACT The use of Modeling & Simulation to support aircraft development is nowadays common practice within any modern aeronautical industry, and a long term key capability of Alenia Aeronautica. Starting from such crucial role, M&S utilization has progressively expanded to effectively support the aeronautical system’s early stages – feasibility and definition, and later stages – in service support and pilots training, becoming an essential element during the entire system’s life cycle. The main tool to implement and sustain such capability is the Synthetic Environment, which relies on the following elements: • Flight Simulators with engineering and training potential • Simulators networking at both LAN and WAN (Local and Wide Area Network) levels • Tactical scenarios • Image generation • Virtual reality The paper will focus on the latest major experiences of Alenia Aeronautica with the AMX ACOL, Eurofighter, C-27J and Sky-X UAV Programs, from systems concept, through development and experimentation, to pilots training and mission rehearsal. Moreover, Alenia Aeronautica’s approach and perspectives in the field of the simulation of Network Centric Operations will be described: the Network Centric Simulation Environment 1.0 INTRODUCTION The use of Modeling & Simulation (M&S) in aerospace engineering is nowadays common practice within any modern aeronautical firm and a long term key capability of Alenia Aeronautica.
