Message from the Chairman

If we are to take advantage of these opportunities, competitiveness on the world stage must be our top priority . The Canadian aerospace industry has the knowledge, skill and experience to meet the needs created by growing global demand . In order to be competitive abroad, however, we must develop an envi-ronment at home that our industry can rely on . A supportive environment where research and development are a priority, where business and entrepreneurship are promoted, and where knowledge-based training is prized, cannot be fostered by individual enterprises alone . Such an environment is only created through a commitment, on the part of researchers, industry and government, to coopera-tion and partnership .

This spirit of cooperation is evident in the review of policies and programs related to aerospace that was announced by the government in February 2012 . Together, representatives of industry, academia, government, labour organiza-tions and other stakeholder groups from across Canada have formed working groups to address issues critical to the growth and competitiveness of Canada’s aerospace industry on the world stage . These issues, which include research and development, training and recruitment, and the development and promotion ofglobalmarketaccess,werehighlightedinDeloitte’s2010reporttotheAIACon the future of the Canadian aerospace industry as items which will be funda-mental to ensuring our competitiveness in years to come .

This is an exciting time to be part of the

Canadianaerospaceindustry.Despiteglobal

economic pressures, industry forecasts call

forgrowthandincreasedprosperity.Demand

for air travel is on the rise and shows no

sign of faltering . Cutting-edge technology

continues to promise better, faster, more

efficient capabilities in the civil and military

aircraft sectors, as well as for the space

industry . untapped markets are opening up

and new opportunities are arising every day .


The Aerospace Review is therefore an important means of developing a foundation of policies and programs that our industry can rely on moving forward . It is our hope that this foundation, having been created through a process of collaboration, will also cement a framework of mutual understanding and cooperation between all of the parties and players involved in building the success of this important industry .

Our industry is well placed to face these challenges and opportunities . We have a broad national base, with operations in all regions and provinces . We also have a strong association providing representation and advocacy at the federal level . The AIAC is a vital part of the industry’s continued development . In its unique role as a broad-based, policy-oriented representative of the industry, the AIAC is playing a leadership role in the ongoing dialogue about the future of the industry .

For over 50 years, the AIAC has ably represented the members of the aerospace industry in Canada, and for over 25 years, the AIAC’s Guide to Canada’s Aerospace Industry has highlighted the services, innovation and technology produced by aerospace companies across the country . The companies and services show-cased here are the backbone of the industry as it exists today, displaying its depth and national scope . They are the best Canada has to offer . As we consider the future of the industry, there is no better place to start than with the companies in these pages .

Message from the Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of Industry andMinisterofState(Agriculture)On behalf of the Government of Canada, I would like to commend the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada(AIAC)foritsroleinchampioningtheaeronau-tics and space industries .

As you embark on another half-century supporting the next generation of technologies, products and services, our government is committed to helping your members succeed .

ByinvestinginR&DthroughtheStrategicAerospaceandDefenceInitiative,encouragingindustrialandacademic partnerships, and leveraging large-scale procurements under the Industrial and Regional Benefits Policy, our government is setting the condi-tions for Canadian companies to remain competitive in the global aerospace industry .

In the coming years, the global aerospace market is expected to experience considerable growth . With emerging markets and the rising demand for more fuel-efficient aircraft, there are significant opportunities in the commercial market for our Canadian industry .

In recognition of this, it is important that we – governments and industry associations – equip Canadian businesses to capitalize on these opportunities and conquer future challenges . That is why our government initiated the Review of Aerospace and Space Programs and Policies . Through a consultative process involving the AIAC, among other stakeholders, the Review will examine how to ensure the long-term competitiveness of Canada’s aerospace industry .

As Minister of Industry, I am strongly committed to the aeronautics and space industries and look forward to working with all of you in 2012 and beyond . Sincerely, Christian ParadisMinisterofIndustryandMinisterofState(Agriculture)

Through its rotorcraft systems design, development, production and integration capa-bilities, its experience in the training business and its customer focused Integrated Opera-tional Support solutions, the company delivers unrivalled mission capability to military and commercial operators around the world.

This expertise, backed by technological excellence and innovation, makes the company a leader in a number of the world’s most impor-tant helicopter markets offering the widest range of advanced rotorcraft available for both commercial and military applications.

In Canada, agustawestland has a footprint in both the civil and military sectors.

Operating as the primary Search and Rescue helicopter for the Canadian Forces, the Cormo-rant offers an unrivalled capability, operating in any weather over long ranges. Since its inception, the aircraft has carried out a number of record-breaking rescues that have been recognized by agencies throughout the world.

The capacious cabin has enabled the rescue of a full ship’s crew of 20 people, in addition to the crew of five. The SAR Squadrons have completed successful missions where they have flown over 2,000 NM through snow and ice to save a hunter’s life. This capability has been recognized as a benefit by 12 different agencies of other nations operating the aw101 in the SAR, VVIP, Maritime, Utility and Special Forces role. The versatility of this aircraft has led to continued development, which enables additional capability to be offered as upgrades or as a new build.

In addition to the military market, Agusta-Westland has a number of civil operators using the aw139, the aw109 and the aw119. The 15 seat AW139 can be utilized as a utility helicopter or as a VIP helicopter to suit customer requirements. Over 620 aircraft have been ordered by over 160 customers in over 50 different countries, making the AW139 the most popular helicopter in its class. A number of different agencies throughout the world have adopted this helicopter to meet their Coast Guard requirements due to its speed, large cabin, flat floor, excellent power-to-weight ratio and all weather capability. It is the benchmark medium helicopter. The smaller AW109 is also built with a superb power-to-weight ratio that affords unrivaled safety, speed and comfort.

AleniaNorthAmerica–Canada 65

Alenia Aermacchi North America is a subsidiary of Alenia Aermacchi and part of the Finmec-canica Group. Alenia Aermacchi North America offers the C-27J Spartan, a multi-mission twin turboprop aircraft that meets and exceeds all of Canada’s Fixed Wing Search and Rescue (SAR) requirements.

The C-27J Spartan will provide Canada with better performance capabilities than current SAR aircraft, including greater speed, range, capacity,manœuvrability,visibility,jumpsafetyand technological features. The twin-engine C-27J has been designed, built and equipped for completely autonomous deployment in extreme conditions such as those found in Canada’s North. The aircraft can operate safely from even the most remote, isolated Canadian locations.

The C-27J is the ideal military multi-mission aircraft–ano-risk,no-compromisesolution.Itis competitively priced and will prove to be the best option for Canada in any competition. The C-27J can meet Canada’s SAR requirements at as little as a third of the operating costs of the current aging fleets used for this role.

One of the key elements of SAR opera-tions is the ability to reach the search area quickly; every second counts when lives are on the line. Speed is particularly important given Canada’s vast territory of land and ocean that must be covered. Boasting a maximum speed of 325 KTAS (602 km/h), the C-27J is a very responsive platform and performs safely at the slow speeds and low altitudes required for searching. It can make tight turns, climb and descend rapidly, and was designed for short take-off and landing (STOL) on unpre-pared fields and landing strips. With its rugged construction, best-in-class power-to-weight ratio, and the ability to perform fighter aircraft-like3.0gforcemanœuvrestheC-27Jisbuiltfor the SAR mission.

In production since 2001, the C-27J Spartan has been selected by a total of nine national air forces. The aircraft has been delivered to Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, the United States, Lithuania, Romania, Morocco and Mexico and has been selected by Slovakia.

The launch of the FWSAR program in Canada will provide $3 billion of work and support for hundreds of high quality jobs through direct industrialandregionalbenefits(IRBs)–anoutstanding economic stimulus for Canada’s aerospace sector. Alenia Aermacchi North America is committed to working with Canadian industry to establish partnerships and agree-ments that will provide a robust suite of Canadian technology and life-cycle support.

CRIAQ–ConsortiumforResearchandInnovationinAerospaceinQuebec100

Consortium for Research and Innovation in Aerospace in Quebec (CRIAQ) is a non-profit organization established in 2002 with the financial support of the Quebec government. Its mission is to increase the competitiveness of the aerospace industry and enhance the collective knowledge base in aerospace through improved education and training of students.

CRIAQ is a unique model of collaborative industry-led research involving universities and research centres. The consortium promotes collaboration between specialists from industry and researchers to identify and implement pre-competitive projects that meet industry require-ments. Projects, which last on average three years, involve at least two industries and two research units and are mostly initiated during the research forum.

Through CRIAQ, businesses have access to the expertise of renowned researchers and to increased financial resources that greatly enhance their initial R&D budget. For a small business, this can represent up to 30 times its contribution to a project.

Researchers thus benefit from financial support provided by a range of sources, and contribute to technological advances in the industry. A tremendous incubator of young talents, CRIAQ comprises more than 600 researchers and specialists from the industry, universities and research centres, as well as some 550 university-based student researchers.

The year 2012 marks CRIAQ’s 10th Anniver-sary and the launch of its new strategic plan. Under the theme destination 2022, the major strategic orientations are to:• Developperformanceindicatorsandanalyze

the concrete impacts of CRIAQ projects;• LaunchthecriaQ community platform

to develop efficient cooperation amongst members and the expanded community;

• CreateCRIAQTRL4+andanexpandedCRIAQ to develop cooperative projects pertaining to products and systems and broaden the model to the rest of Canada;

Integral Machining Ltd. 121

Integral Machining Ltd. (IML) was founded in 1989. As IML approaches its first quarter-century of operations, it continues to reinforce its reputation as one of Canada’s top mini/micro component manufacturers.

What constitutes micromachining? This definition is in a constant state of flux; however, the current definition describes micromachining as the machining of any features less than two millimeters. IML is producing components with features as small as 20µm. This is equivalent to drilling a hole through a human hair (see picture). IML has over 20 years experience machining these components for the aero-space, medical and photonics industries.

From the day of incorporation, our customers have been the most important aspect of our business. In meeting our customers’ chal-lenges, we have continued to grow and evolve with them and we are proud to have played an integral role in their successes. We are committed to continually improving our capabili-ties and processes to meet the requirements of our customers, today and in the future.

QuantifiablE prEciSion: IML manufactures ultra precise components for its customers. Equally important, IML has the ability to confirm that the customers’ require-ments have been met. We are able to achieve this through:

• State-of-the-artCNCSwissTypeLathes• State-of-the-art5AxisMicro

Machining Centres• 2Multi-SensorCMMswith

sub-micron accuracy• DCCCMM• Rigidinspectionprocedures• Automatedprofileprojector• Commitmenttocontinualimprovementin

accordance with our ISO 9001:2008 system• ERPSystem• QualityManagementSystem• SPCAnalysis The synergies gained from effectively inte-grating our experience, state-of-the-art equipment, systemic processes, a strong commitment to our Business Management System and Lean Manufacturing Principles enable us to produce only the best manufac-tured components for Integral Machining Ltd.’s customers.

AIRFOIL PERFORMANCE MONITOR (APM™)Marinvent has developed an Airfoil Performance Monitor, a revolutionary stall warning tech-nology that functions with contaminated or iced airfoils. APM is currently the only technology that detects compressibility (high speed) stalls, and also predicts takeoff performance degrada-tion during the takeoff roll at speeds as low as 40 knots. The patented APM system has been the subject of numerous articles.

FLyING AVIONICS TEST BEDMarinvent operates a highly sophisticated airborne test-bed supported by a dedicated research flight simulator. These have been instrumental in the development and certifi-cation of navigation and safety systems for aircraft as diverse as the EC145 Eurocopter and the Boeing 747. The test-bed is also uniquely configurableasan“OptionallyPilotedVehicle”(OPV), which can be flown from an aft-cabin control station using off-the-shelf Unmanned Vehicle control software. The innovative work performed by Marinvent’s aircraft led to the company being awarded the Canadian Business Aviation Association’s Industry Support Safety Award “…for the safety gains achieved through human factors enhancement, systems engi-neering, and flight test services.”

Canadian Commercial Corporation174

who wE arEAs Canada’s international contracting and procurement agency, the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) helps Canadian companies access government procurement markets internationally and generate export sales on the best possible terms and conditions. In order to do so, the Corporation supports Canadian companies contracting into the aerospace and defence sectors, and those involved in large-scale engineering and procurement projects globally. In 2010-11, CCC worked with Canadian companies to secure $1.6 billion worth of contracts signed in 28 countries.

The Corporation has a long track-record of working with governments and organizations around the world, such as the U.S. DoD, NASA, as well as other allied and like-minded nations. year-in, year-out, CCC contracts with over 140 Canadian exporters offering a wide-range of goods and services, such as helicopters, flight simulators, aircraft repair and overhaul services, key vision systems used in the NASA Space Shuttle Program and telecommunications equip-ment, among others.

ccc offErS two Main SErvicES whEn Structuring intErnational contractS:

PRIME CONTRACTOR SERVICE:The Corporation signs a contract with the foreign buyer and then sub-contracts to the Canadian exporter. The buyer has the Govern-ment of Canada assurance that the contract will be completed in accordance with its terms and conditions.

PROCUREMENT SERVICE:The Corporation acts as a Canadian procure-ment agent on behalf of a foreign government. CCC manages procurements for the requi-site products and/or services from Canadian sources.

Offering your international customer the option of contracting on a government-to-government basis can fast track the procurement, saving you time and money.

if you suspect that your “win probability” for an international opportunity would be enhanced through a government-to-government contract, please contact ccc.

Virtek Vision International Inc.

virtek vision International Inc. provides composite processing solutions to each of the top 10 aero-space companies. Since its founding 25 years ago, virtek has been a leader in high-precision, laser-based templating and inspection solutions. more recently, Gerber Technology, a supplier of automated composite nesting and cutting solutions, acquired virtek. Together the two companies offer the widest range of solutions for aerospace composite processing.

• virtek laseredge® provides two- and three-dimensional laser templating and positioning that eliminates the need for physical templates, reduces costly rejects and saves set-up time.

• VirtekPlanner® is a stand-alone software package that works with laseredge projec-tion systems to enable manufacturing engineers to visualize, create and edit data directly from native cAD models in a virtual 3-D environment.

• GERBERcutters® increase throughput, deliver precisely cut parts and maximize material utilization. They are available in single- or multi-ply formats and can benefit composite cutting operations of any size.

• ComposiNest™software,usedinconjunc-tion with automated GeRBeRcutters, uses industry-standard cAD data (Dxf, Nc, IGeS, etc.) and automatically nests composite parts to achieve the greatest material yields.

• VirtekLaserKit™usesahighlyvisiblelaserthat guides the pick team in locating, picking and assembling kits of composite mate-rial parts from the cutting table. The laser projects the part outline, the part ID and the kit team number. It reduces kitting time up to 70% compared to manual kitting processes.

• VirtekLaserQC® quickly inspects flat parts by scanning the part, comparing it to the corre-sponding cAD file and noting any variances outside pre-set tolerances. It can also create detailed inspection reports.

New Brunswick’s major highways are fully integrated with u.S. and eastern and central canadian networks. Interstate 95 continues into New Brunswick connecting to the Trans-canada Highway.

Besides the benefits of location, New Brunswick offers plenty of financial advantages. A competitive tax regime with high credit ratings contributes to a stable and healthy business environment. meanwhile, housing, energy, payroll, capital investments and basic living costs are below average, making New Brunswick a financially desirable place to live and invest. The province’s high concentration of academic institu-tions – 17 universities and community colleges and 100 private training facilities – has increased the pool of educated workers, making them a valuable part of a burgeoning aerospace, defence and security industry.
