3. Highlights • TC Health: • Econ TC is up and rolling again with new leadership and a positive direction. • Conference Related: • Great support by ETMG at ASM, Space 2012 and CASE 2012. • SATTC and Legal organized the Delta Forum at Space 2012. • TCM organized the Management Roundtable for CASE 2012. • Standards: • SETC – AIAA-G-043, Guide for the Preparation of Operational Concepts • SETC – AIAA-G-135, Aerospace Systems Integration Guide • Awards: • History has thier bevy of prestigious manuscript awards. • SAT and LA3 – best student paper competition for Space 2012. • TCM supports the Hap Arnold and the Von Braun award. • Education: • Econ – Cost and Risk Analysis Workshop • History – Lester Gardner Bibliography • LA3 – Supported two Moot Court activities. • Public Policy: • LA3 – ITAR related training and seminars.

4. Success Story: Economics TC Workshop • “Cost and Risk Analysis in an Engineering Environment” • Hosted by The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 26 March 2013 • Background: This workshop was an effort to invigorate the AIAA Economics Technical Committee and provide an event about mid-year between the annual AIAA SPACE Conferences. We surveyed Government and industry representatives and received an overwhelmingly positive response. As a result, we established a one-day program and made arrangements with NASA to hold the event at the Laboratory. • 53 attendees very a wide cross section of the industry. • One-day agenda included a keynote and 6 panels (agenda provided in back-up). • Very successful; lots of interesting in putting on future workshops. • Offers from RAND and the Aerospace Corporation to host future workshops. • Sherry Stukes from the Econ TC did “a lot of the heavy lifting” in making this a successful event

5. Upcoming/Ongoing Projects and Proposals • History TC: AIAA history topics: • Past Presidents. • Institutional Archives. • TCM – CASE 2013 Executive Workshop. • SAT TC: Aerospace Technology Impact Initiative • SAT TC: Participating at regional ComicCon in Pittsburgh. • Booth supported through TAC funds. • SAT TC: YP Experience. • Object is to get the young professionals more engaged with TAC and the TCs early. • SE and Econ – resuming work on their book proposal.

6. Key Issues • Delta Forum: • ETMG finally decided to end this effort. • Lafleur and Khodadoust did a lot of work to develop a plan to reinvigorate the DF. • In the end, it was decided that the DF had done it’s job and it was time to move on. • The plenary layer of the NEM will continue what the DF started. • CASE: • Opportunity for ETM to “own” a conference. • Builds into the integration level of the NEM. • SE, SAT, Econ and Management TC members are key participants. • History TC: loss of historic site award program.

7. ETM TC and PC General Summary (May, 2012-April, 2013) Y: completed X: incomplete ?: no data available Primary focus area Secondary area Minimal support No activity YIR: AA year in review article *Target members are senior leaders **Several TC members are student members $ Other AIAA funds used for events on the Hill

8. Opportunities and the Path Forward • The ETM TCs have had another great year supporting a variety of activities across the institute. • Economics TC is back in action. • Engaged leadership. • Working on several activities. • Excellent support from ETM TCs for CASE development. • SETC is an obvious lead for this event. • TCM has taken ownership of the pre-CASE Executive Workshop. • PC interactions with the ETMG: • Need to improve communications with VDD PC. • Should the ASI_WG be affiliated with the ETMG?
