The first phase of the multi-phase National Aerospace Leadership Initiative (NALI) has been completed. Four major tasks were initiated and carried out under NALI Phase I. In Task I, the foundation for the National Center for Aerospace Leadership has been established and important outreach and educational programs were conducted. Significant accomplishments in gas turbine engine modeling and in factory simulation and modeling has been made in Task II. Task III resulted in the formation of a world-class Laser Applications Laboratory that, combined with modeling and simulation, is key to transitioning next generation manufacturing technologies to small-medium size U.S. aerospace manufacturers. In Task IV, the basis for development of advanced visualization and decision support tool prototypes to improve total supply chain enterprise effectiveness has been established. The efforts were carried out by the NALI Consortium member companies: Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT), Avetec Inc., and Concurrent Technologies Corp. (CTC).
