NATEP Awareness

1. NATEP Awareness Autonomy & Advanced Systems Showcase, 3rd February 2014 Alan Maskell Liaison Manager, NATEP

2. National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme 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. Current phase: Launched

5. National Aerospace Technology Programme (NATEP)Delivered by UK Aerospace supply chain companiesSupported by the UK’s regional aerospace alliancesProgramme managed by ADS, the UK national aerospace bodyFunded by BIS as part of AMSCI

6. 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)

7. Achieving the NATEP Objectives Supply chain collaborative technology projects £50,000 to £150,000 grant funding with duration up to 18 months Projects will be: • Comprised of a supply chain technology partnership of at least 2 entities • Industrially led and involving the UK aerospace supply chain • Pulling through new technology or process for use in current or future product • Showing clear benefit technically and have a clear path to commercial exploitation through system house or prime

8. Achieving the NATEP Objectives (Cont.) Projects will be: • Creating or safeguarding jobs • Developed in line with national technology roadmaps and strategy • Have wider exploitation possibilities to enhance the advanced manufacturing sector Fundamental research is probably not suitable, but a wide range of technology readiness levels will be considered if a clear outcome is defined. Any arising IP will be owned by the collaborating partnership. Direct financial support will usually up to 50% of spend. In-kind matching is expected. Grant is paid 3 months in arrears.

9. NATEP Programme and Grant Cash-flow Summary Outline proposal Final proposal Project activity Funding Profile (£k/month) (£23m Grant Funding Profile)

10. 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.

11. Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme • Aerospring • 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

13. Role of RAP Members • To help market the opportunity in their supply chain and network • To provide technology speakers at promotion events • To be end users in proposed NATEP projects • To score and take part in decisions to recommend projects in the bid and selection process • During project delivery to help with interventions when flagged up by the technology managers e.g. Help with project management, risk assessment etc • To help disseminate results of projects, provide speakers at dissemination events

14. South-East Regional Deadlines

15. Project Application Process Work with NATEP Regional Alliance to assist with proposal details Prepare outline proposal & submit to deadline Rework Proposal RAP Decision No Yes 2 Years Audited Accounts for all Grant receiving Consortium partners Prepare full proposal same as outline but with detailed project work-package plans, detailed costing, detailed risk analysis. Submit to deadline. Yes Prepare a presentation Rework Proposalfor next call RAP & NSB Decision No Yes

16. Project Start and Reviews Grant offer letter sent to collaborating companies Grant offer letter and collaboration agreement signed – project start Hold quarterly project reviews attended by all project partners and end users, to include KPIs that will be reported to RAP’s and NSB Submit quarterly claims with supporting evidence and QPR documents and completed job created forms. At end of Project Final QPR with completed outcomes, final presentation, final claims and final job forms. Submit final report summary Take part in dissemination events as appropriate to the project

17. Questions to address when thinking of applying for NATEP funding • What are our products? • What new ideas are we working on? • What are our customers asking for that we are unable to supply? • Which partners could we work with, designers, tooling, material suppliers, testing facilities, etc? • Which end users could we approach to support the project? • Could we manage if the project was 50% funded? i.e. Could we support the other 50% ourselves? • Does this result in a potential project?

18. NATEP Proposals – Scoring by RAP members

20. NATEP - Summary • £39.5M programme running until March 2017 • Phased over five 6-monthly competitive calls • the collaboration must involve a supply chain partnership and may include HVM Catapult centre (or other academic partner) • technology developed must have exploitation potential – with end user involvement – ie TRL4-6 • grant, usually 50% of spend, ranging from £50k to £150k • projects must have potential to create or safeguard jobs • should have a duration of up to 18 months • Intellectual property will be retained by the collaborating partners If you have a potential project Talk to us now….
