New impetus to R&D

When FADA-CATEC began its journey in the year 2008, one of the objectives and assumptions established by our Center for the development of its activities was to promote research, technological development and innovation in the auxiliary aerospace companies of Andalusia and Spain, and today we can say that, along with other agents and entities, we are achieving it, doing our own bit. We see this mirrored in the last report of the Andalusian...

A pioneer center in tests with UAV's

FADA-CATEC has been running for several weeks the construction of the new ATLAS Experimental Flight Center, a center that will host the first installations of our country completely dedicated to research and development of new technologies and unmanned aircraft systems (UAV's) of light type. This initiative will involve, undoubtedly a great boost for the Andalusian and Spanish aerospace industry in the field of UAV's, one of the areas that...

Rosy prospects

We launch a new edition of INFOCATEC, our electronic newsletter, after the end of the financial year 2012 that has strengthened the solid foundations of R&D development in the aerospace industry. CATEC is playing an outstanding part as a boost and as a transfer of technology and knowledge to the aeronautical sector. It can be said that this new year presents rosy prospects for making progress. Some of our initiatives, which must go on helping to...

Moving forward

The main value of a research centre lies in the role it plays as promoter of technological development on the environment, collaborating with other entities and institutions with the purpose of transferring knowledge and R&D results to enterprises and industrial productive network, in order to improve their competitiveness and dissemination from a national and international point of view. Research and development would be useless if that hard...

We grow in R&D, we reach our goals

Hélice, the Andalusian Aerospace Cluster presented the annual balance sheet within our region few weeks ago, where the positive evolution of our industry in the last few years has been shown one more year, notably within the service enterprises. This report reveals a new high for our aerospace service network in important aspects (sales, employment, productivity) showing that the Andalusian aerospace industry remains in perfect health. But there...

Aerospace scenarios to play leading roles

We start this new bulletin after having held two referral events in the aerospace framework where our Centre has played a leading role again and that has helped us to strengthen our strategic position as one of the most promising technological centres linked to Aeronautics. Firstly, we speak about ADM Seville 2012, a business meeting which has notably encouraged the Spanish and Andalusian business network and where supply chain players have been...

A decisive commitment

Technological collaboration in such a competitive sector like Aerospace is essential to boost new advances and developments which contribute to putting our enterprises at the cutting edge of the international industry. In CATEC we were always concerned about it and that our project as a technological centre had to be based on the cooperation among the aerospace enterprises, offering our services and facilities to develop new technologies and...

Committed to R+D+I

After an intense working year, we have started 2012 with renewed energy to face a number of challenges and projects. Doubtless, one of the most interesting ones is SAFEMOBIL, an European project devoted to develop new technologies to increase the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), where we will have an outstanding participation in. Our centre will play a leading role in researching but also will be in charge of coordinating them, working...

On the right way

At CATEC we have always been responsible for our work, as a technology centre; our objectives and our illusions had to lie in a fundamental premise: the economic feasibility. In other words, our project would only be sustainable if we were able to attract other different resources from public funds, which enabled the first big effort to start the Centre, resources coming from private markets and from EC and Spanish public grants for RDI projects...

We keep on advancing

This report shows that CATEC is keeping on advancing, gaining territories, little by little, with work and humbly, but always with a lot of excitement. Excitement and dedication, firstly, in R&D&I, which has taken us in the past years to play a leading role in outstanding EC projects, specially in the area of unmanned flights. Good deeds in this field are going to allow us now to coordinate the EC-SAFEMOVIL Project, under the VII Framework...

International positioning

Step by step, quietly, but working hard and truthfully, CATEC is creating a trademark and a reputation within the international aeronautical industry. To support this statement, there is the recent award of the agreement with Safran engineering at Le Bourget, an information that also strengthens the image and international positioning of our Centre, as a valuable technological partner for big European engineering firms. Indeed, we tried...

A new tool for communication

After CATEC’s official inauguration, at the end of January, when more than three hundred agents belonging to the aeronautical and aerospace sector met together, we inaugurate this newsletter, Infocatec, that we hope will act as an useful informative vehicle to the whole sector and specially as an active and dynamic site to inform you about the activities we are developing at our Center. We are sure that there is no better way to show...
