Why aerospace & defense innovation?

The acceleration of technological development continues to profoundly change the nature of warfare. To keep up with the competition and meet today's threats, aerospace and defense (A&D) organisations are focusing on innovation.

With commercial investments in R&D now outpacing those of governments, innovation cycles are shorter and there is more international competition for technology and innovation.

How to build an effective defense innovation ecosystem?

Success depends on building an effective A&D innovation ecosystem that includes collaboration between government and industry and within tiers of industry across the full range of innovation activities - from planning and ideation to design and manufacturing to operations.

1. Partner with industry for rapid return on investment

Successful defense organisations are collaborating with non-traditional, industry specialist providers to exploit commercial and defense technologies.

By complementing internal capabilities with rich sources of external expertise, they are effectively creating innovation ecosystem while managing risk and security.

2. Align with national defense capability

R&D investments must fit with future strategic plans.

Accolade provides visibility into R&D programs to better understand how technologies, products and capabilities are linked. Exploring these capabilities and future plans helps to identify gaps, stimulate innovation, understand strengths and weaknesses, and identify potential differentiators in the export market.
