AEROSPACE FDI IN THE U.S.

• Investigate the major sources of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the U.S. aerospace sector by country of origin.

• Within each country of origin, research:

History of purchases

Partnerships and levels of investment

History of activity

What subsectors of the aerospace industry the investments fall under

The level of success these firms have had and what factors contributed most to their success or failure



COLLEGE OF BUSINESS


11/26/2013-17-

MARKET STUDY OF THE EUROPEAN SPACE INDUSTRY

• Analyze Europe’s space industry & research:

Government involvement

Different membership and funding across the European Space Agency and EU’s space programs/policies

Key players, funding, priorities, and opportunities for U.S. commercial involvement in some of the programs

AEROSPACE CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT IN BRAZIL/MEXICO

• Will Mexico pull ahead of Brazil in manufacturing parts and components for the global supply chain? The purpose of this report would be to:

Compare the aviation manufacturing industries in both countries, with special attention to the capabilities of manufacturers in each market

Shed some light on the participation of foreign firms

Determine what is leading to the recent rise in investment in Mexico and how that compares to activity in Brazil, with attention to federal, state, and private sector initiatives that may be helping cluster development

FAA CERTIFICATION BACKLOG EFFECTS ON U.S. COMPETITIVENESS

• FAA’s certification division may come under increasing strain due to the large number of new projects and the increasingly international nature of the aerospace supply chain. This report would analyze if:

There is a bottleneck and any potential impact on the decisions of U.S. and foreign aircraft manufacturers regarding where to locate future aircraft programs.

For example, in general aviation, an FAA backlog might create an incentive for U.S. and foreign firms to start new programs in other countries, particularly countries that have Bilateral Air Safety Agreements (BASAs) with the United States

INDIA VERSUS INDONESIA MARKET ANALYSIS

• A general report researching the status of the aviation industries in both countries:

Characteristics

Limitations

Physical locations of the aviation/aerospace clusters

The capabilities and products made

Market potential

Any specific market access barriers for U.S. aerospace companies seeking to export to those markets from the United States

CYBER SECURITY IN AVIATION SECURITY

• As air traffic management moves towards a System-Wide Information Management (SWIM) environment dependent on technologies like Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), the question of the security of networks that support these innovations becomes ever more relevant. This report would analyze:

Cyber-related vulnerabilities

Threats faced by NextGen, SESAR, and other advanced air traffic systems

Examine the market opportunities for cyber security companies to meet these threats
