ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 We Empower People And Companies To Lead In A Purposeful Economy House # 344, Street # 69 F-11/1 , Nazim-ud-Din Road, Islamabad, Pakistan 1 www.pakaero.com.pk Pakistan Aerospace Council Our Story We started out with a concern that Pakistan is blessed with natural talent and technologies clustered in different cities but seriously lack the support and vision, both in people and Government, to help these clusters make global visibility and significant impact on Pakistan’s economy. The duo from Industry (Imtiaz Rastgar) and Academia (Dr Arshad Ali) helped put together the diversity of experiences and knowledge in building a platform to fill the industry vision void by bringing together the professionals and experts for up skilling the industry and connection with national and global businesses. We learned that the most needed skill is the attitude and the ability to think global. A slogan “Dunya Hamari Mandi” has been Coined to think global. PAeC platform acts as bridge builder, connector of resources and talent. These efforts have helped identify three critical skills sets essential for successful and effective development of cluster: Global Mindset, Global entrepreneurship and active citizenry. If you are passionate to make a difference we are looking for your contribution and support. 2 Pakistan Aerospace Council CONTENTS Description Page# Mission 4 PAeC Cluster (Member Companies) 6-8 Message from the President, Pakistan Aerospace Council 9-10 Executive Committee 12 Collaboration with International Organizations 13-25 (a) Pakistan Aerospace Council & NCP Hosted Delegation from European 14-16 Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva (b) Visit of CERN delegation to PAeC Member Companies in Lahore 17 (c) Visit of PAeC Member Companies to CERN, Geneva 18-21 (d) Outcome of Collaboration between PAeC and CERN 22 (e) MoU Between PAeC & Pakistan American Business Association (PABA) 23-25 (f) PAeC Member Companies’ Visit to Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra 26-27 PAeC Executive Committee Meetings 28-34 Success Stories of PAeC Member Companies 35-41 (a) Sherani Engineering Indigenously Developing State of the Art UAV JIGS 36 (b) SoluNox indigenously Developing High Speed Drone Launchers 37 (c) East West Infiniti (Pvt) Ltd Designing & Integrating Advance Glass Cockpit 38-39 (d) TeReSol Proved its Abilities/Expertise for Development of Complex Electronic 40-41 Products Analysis of Dr. Haroon J Qureshi (President PAeC) on PIA 8303 Tragic Airplane 42 Crash at Roze TV Network Founder’s Message 43 3 Pakistan Aerospace Council Mission Develop high tech, specialized and innovative aerospace industrial clusters to serve the national, regional and global demands.

The last quadrimestre of fiscal year has been the biggest “disrupt” the world may have seen in the last century. Whereas, this may have represented a departure from norm, for most, it has also offered a fresh slate, to others, to think more clearly; and those who manage to come out standing, will be more resilient and ready for the future. For PAeC, 2019-20 was a year of realization for the nascent, futuristic and nationalistic idea planted by Mr. Imtiaz Rastgar, our great national asset, in 2018, to create a cluster of the Pakistani Aerospace Engineering Industry; to carve Pakistan’s due share in US$ 850 billion global aerospace engineering industry, with high value engineering products. To complete a 1000 mile journey, we saddle up to undertake the journey and then set out… It is my pleasure to briefly walk you through the beginning of this 1000 mile journey in the last year, with our achievements and hope. We have grown to a point that we simply require more space and momentum. Major international interactions took place in the year, including high profile visits of delegations from CERN Geneva and Pakistan American Business Association PABA USA, under the arrangements of PAeC. A delegation of PAeC also visited CERN to look for openings for Pakistani Industry in CERN and its European supply chain. These pursuits opened new opportunities for PAeC member companies to establish their business relationship with potential International buying entities. PAeC has also been endeavouring for business collaboration among the member companies to serve our own state Aviation Establishments like Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC). As a result of our efforts, several member companies have established strong business relationship with Pakistan Aeronautical Complex. Including Sherani Engineering, who have developed state of the art UAV Production Jigs to meet the requirements at PAC, earlier these Jigs were imported from China. East West Infiniti has successfully engineered and integrated the next generation Avionics in the PAC Super Mushak aircraft ordered by Turkish Airforce, the first confirmation flight took place on 21st May 2020; we expect to see this interaction help growth in the International Marketplace. The planned activities for the last 5 months of the fiscal year were very adversely disrupted COVID-19. Amongst others, PAeC had planned an exhibition of member companies at Air University, Islamabad inviting PAF, PN Avn and Army Avn to attend, but unfortunately this could not be done, due to the lock down restrictions, we also planned to lobby with the government to project the existing Pakistani (private) 9 Pakistan Aerospace Council aerospace engineering industry and the, latent engineering industry who can catapult into the high value aerospace industry. But the lock down and governments own pre- occupation with COVID & Locust related extraneous circumstances prevented this to happen. Moving forward; we will continue to pursue two strategic objectives: Projecting member companies in the International and National dimensions and getting governmental recognition of our aerospace Industry as an Industry, so that we can execute and plan activities without government permissions and NOCs. We cannot rest on our achievements, but we need to keep delivering as per our objectives. We expect to have greater virtual interaction in the months ahead; maybe that is how future will be We had hoped that High Tech Aerospace & Aviation Engineering Industry would be recognized as an Industry by Government of Pakistan, an objective we will actively keep pursuing, to achieve the these key objectives it is very essential to increase the number quality PAeC members, there is strength in (quality) members.. Join me to move forward in 2020-21, to take big strides in putting PAeC cluster organisation for the Pakistani Aerospace and High-Tech Engineering Industry firmly on the high-tech map of Pakistan and the emerging markets of the world. PAeC will play its vital role in global promotion of high value addition for High-tech manufacturers of Pakistan, while meeting the national needs for technology acquisition and an export focused sustainable growth of Pakistani Aerospace and associated high-tech Industries; to proudly give a real meaning to “Dunyia Hamari Mandi”.
