The aim of IDEA3 is to federate and encourage innovation through close links between DGA, the armed forces, and the local economic environment - SMEs, start-ups, laboratories, and major groups.
The 11th Parachute Brigade and ISAE-SUPAERO have signed a framework agreement for the development of innovative field UAVs. This charter will be broken down into specific agreements based on future research themes in the field of UAVs.
On June 27, General Frédéric Danigo, representing the 11th Parachute Brigade (BP), and Olivier Lesbre, former President of ISAE-SUPAERO, signed a framework agreement for the development of innovative field drones. The aim of this partnership is to establish a secure legal framework for collaboration between the two organisations. The agreement, for an initial period of 5 years, will enable various partnerships to be set up in a wide range of research areas.
ISAE-SUPAERO will ensure that this collaboration takes place through the following actions:
- Exchanges of information that may go as far as providing a state of the art in the field of UAVs and the creation of concepts
- cooperative studies and analyses
- the production of prototypes or demonstrators
- joint use of facilities for prototyping, testing, trials and experiments
- participation in integrated team projects, for a given period of human resources on the same site, including the possible use of reservists
- the loan of equipment and/or demonstrator(s) by one or the other establishment
In this way, the 11th BP will benefit from ISAE-SUPAERO's expertise and facilities in UAV research, as well as from the Institute's innovation efforts.
Student entrepreneurship is also supported within the Institute by the ISAE-SUPAERO ENTREPRENEURS student association.
