    The Materials and Components for Missiles Innovation and Technology Partnership, MCM ITP is a dstl and DGA sponsored research fund open to all UK or French companies and academic institutions. Launched in 2007, the MCM ITP develops novel, exploitable technologies for generation-after-next missile systems. The MCM ITP aims to consolidate the UK-French Complex Weapons capability, strengthen the technological base and allow better understanding of common future needs. The programme manages a portfolio of over 100 cutting-edge technologies which hold the promise of major advances, but are still at the laboratory stage today. The MCM ITP is aligned into eight technical domains, each of which is led by one of the MCM ITP industrial consortium partners1. 1 The MCM ITP Industrial Consortium partners are: MBDA; THALES; Roxel; Selex ES; Safran Microturbo; QinetiQ; Nexter Munitions. Funding The programme is funded equally by the governments and the industrial partners and is composed of research projects on innovative and exploratory technologies and techniques for future missiles. There is strong participation from SMEs and academia with 76 participating in the programme to date, and a total of 121 organisations involved in the overall programme. With an annual budget of up to 12.5M€ and 30% of the budget targeted towards SMEs and Academia, the MCM has become the cornerstone of future collaborative research and technology demonstration programmes for UK-French missile systems. Conference On 21st and 22nd October 2015, DGA, dstl, MBDA and its partners will review the last two years of the MCM ITP programme, and present the technical advances that have been made possible thanks to this cooperative programme.

  • Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2018/04 Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64 Professor Keith Hayward Preface This paper is something of a trip down an academic memory lane. My first book, published in the early 1980s, carried a similar title, albeit with a longer time span. While it had the irreplaceable benefit of some first hand memories of the period, the official record was closed. A later history of the UK aircraft industry did refer in part to such material dating from the 1940s, but access to the ‘secret’ historical material of the 1950s and beyond was still blocked by the then “Thirty Year” rule. By the time the restrictions were relaxed to a “Twenty Year” rule or even more by the liberality offered by “Freedom of Information” legislation, I had moved on to the more pressing demands of analysing the world aerospace industry for the SBAC. 1 My years at the Royal Aeronautical Society afforded a bit more scope. Discovery of an archive on the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation, and published by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Journal of Aeronautical History 2, stimulated a hankering to open more musty files on the 1950s. This led to a series of articles published in the Aviation Historian. However much this satisfied an initial hankering to look back to a critical period in UK aerospace, there were gaps to be filled in the narrative and the analysis. With the encouragement of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aeronautical History, I have endeavoured to provide a more coherent overview of government policy towards the civil sector.

    TEMPEST: IMPORTANTE PASSO AVANTI NELLA COLLABORAZIONE INDUSTRIALE INTERNAZIONALE PER LO SVILUPPO DELLE FUTURE CAPACITA’ DI COMBATTIMENTO AEREO 22 luglio 2020 – Regno Unito, Svezia e Italia hanno avviato un dialogo industriale volto a rafforzare la loro collaborazione per lo sviluppo del futuro sistema di combattimento aereo di nuova generazione. Nel nuovo framework trilaterale le industrie delle nazioni coinvolte apporteranno le proprie capacità e competenze nel settore Combat Air per collaborare alla ricerca e allo sviluppo di tecnologie all'avanguardia. Le tre industrie nazionali comprendono le principali società di difesa di Regno Unito (BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, Rolls Royce e MBDA UK), Italia (Leonardo Italia, Elettronica, Avio Aero e MBDA Italia) e Svezia (Saab e GKN Aerospace Sweden). L’annuncio odierno prende le mosse dai dialoghi bilaterali già avviati tra le industrie di Regno Unito, Svezia e Italia dando vita, a patire da oggi, a un vero e proprio gruppo di lavoro industriale trilaterale. Le aziende valuteranno insieme le iniziative da intraprendere per lo sviluppo delle future capacità nel combattimento aereo sfruttando know-how, competenze e sviluppi tecnologici dei sistemi di difesa aerea attualmente esistenti e futuri. L’intesa di oggi è un passo avanti nel percorso verso l’accordo tra le industrie nazionali per la formalizzazione di aree di collaborazione congiunta sullo sviluppo del futuro sistema di combattimento aereo. Come parte di un settore di grande successo internazionale come la difesa aerea, queste aziende impiegano in tale campo decine di migliaia di persone sviluppando, al contempo, un considerevole numero di posti di lavoro altamente qualificato attraverso il proprio indotto, sostenendo inoltre la sicurezza nazionale e la prosperità economica nel Regno Unito, in Svezia e in Italia.

  • Press Release
    Press release 16 June 2009 MBDA CO-ORDINATING FRANCO-BRITISH MISSILE RESEARCH In a few days, an innovative approach to defence equipment research will be delivering its first results. MBDA, at the heart of a partnership bringing together French and UK efforts in the field of missiles, is co-ordinating a team that includes large businesses, SMEs, laboratories and universities. The Innovation and Technology Partnership on Materials and Components for Missiles (MCM ITP) is being performed under a Technical Arrangement between French Delegation Generale pour l’Armement (DGA) and UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to optimise missile research activities. The sharing of the results from within the research themes of this sensitive defence sector will be presented at the MCM ITP (Materials and Components for Missiles – Innovation & Technology Partnership) conference which will take place at the Grand Palais in Lille (in the north of France) on 22nd and 23rd June 2009. For the first time, two countries are sharing advanced research results as well as their aspirations for technology breakthroughs in subject areas such as: co-operative guidance of multiple missiles; miniaturised active antennae based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology; UV fluorescence for target discrimination ; dual mode seekers ; thrust modulation in rocket motors; modular effect warheads and intelligent materials allowing for morphing, namely the continuous deformation of aerodynamic control surfaces. In December 2007, MBDA, Europe’s missile systems champion, was awarded a three- year contract (extendable to five years) to carry out the first ITP partnership between France and the UK. With an annual budget of 14 million euros, this programme brings together the missile industry of the two countries, and notably, the SMEs, universities and state laboratories.
