Advisory Group

The DAPHNE consortium consists of a small group of leading technical companies, but if the project results are to be taken up by industry, a much wider cross-section of industry will need to be aware of the project aims, progress and results. Consequently, a number of organisations will be invited to form an external group of advisors to the project; this is the DAPHNE Advisory Group (DAG). The DAG has three main aims:

Bring technical inputs from a wider industrial group, and help to fully define the initial project requirements
Receive periodic updates on the project direction and technical progress and to interact with the DAPHNE consortium to provide comments from a wider industrial perspective
Enable the recommendations to be supported by a “critical mass” and to promote further uptake of the project results.

The DAG will meet on a bi-annual basis. Meetings will be split into groups by technology area, with each sub-group consisting of manufacturers of:

Components
Cable and fibres
Avionics modules
Aircraft
