TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Implementation Risk is Managed by Systemic Approach

 Aerospace technology development progress is measured according to TRL scale – technology readiness level.

 Basic Research occurs in the laboratory by universities and research centres. Bombardier sponsors research chairs at various universities in Canada.

 Mid Level TRL research

 Collaborative Research (CRIAQ / GARDN / CARIC )

 Leveraged Funding (OCE / NSERC).

 Higher level (Technology Demonstration) Activities

 New Technology Demonstration Program (Federal Government)

Conclusions

Through sustained technology innovation, Bombardier Aerospace has become one of

the largest commercial airframe manufacturers in the world.

Technology development is costly and requires continued investment over long time

horizons.

In aerospace, investments in technology innovations on products will be in use for several

decades. It is therefore critical that new technologies be properly validated through a

rigorous process.

The recently completed Emerson commission report on aerospace in Canada has

recognized the need for technology innovation and investment, and has provided the

TDP program to provide assistance in bringing new technologies to market in Canada.

This, coupled with the recently announced CARIC initiative will serve to catalyze
