5. CARIC General Overview What is CARIC? Funding partner:

6. About CARIC  Officially launched in April 2014  $30M financial support from Industry Canada Honourable James Moore, announcing his endorsement of the creation of a new national aerospace research and technology network. “Collaborative approaches to R&D yield better results for both participants and the economy. This is particularly true for an industry like aerospace, in which R&D is a costly, long-term undertaking.” – Emerson Report 6

7. 7 CARIC’s Mission 1. To facilitate communications and collaboration among aerospace companies, researchers and academics… …and provide financial support to collaborative R&TD projects.

8. 8 CARIC’s Mission 2.To launch initiatives whose primary purpose is to: – serve as catalysts for collaboration that can help to overcome the silo effects; – promote faster, more relevant R&D.

9. Our raison d’être  Our core business: R&D projects that lead to innovative solutions – Industry focused  Our vision: a key facilitator for the Canadian aerospace research and technology development 9

10. Outcomes - Metrics 1)CARIC accelerates aerospace research  Research projects launched (TRL 1-6)  Involvement: academia, research centers and industry  Funding provided and leveraging factor  Technologies developed 2) CARIC supports student training  Students trained  Involvement of colleges

11. Outcomes - Metrics (cont’d) 3) CARIC facilitates aerospace network outreach  Research Forum & Workshops on cutting edge research fields  Web Community Portal usage 4) CARIC supports the innovation system  Inventory of research infrastructures  Technological road-mapping  Mobilizing SMEs

12. Tackling Real-World Issues  Fabrication costs (new materials, robotics, optimized processes)  Cost of operations (optimized routes (IT), avionics, control systems)  Protection of the environment (fuels, optimized routes, noise reduction)  Airborne security (information systems, sensors, certification of materials)  Airfield security (sensors for traffic control, de-icing)  Well-being of the crew and passengers (interior design, human factors)  Training (simulation) 12
