The aim of the Smart Integrated Guided Rocket Development (SIGURD) project is to bring together FN Herstal (FNH), Thales Belgium (TBE), G

Dans le secteur aéronautique en particulier mais aussi dans tous les autres secteurs, les matériaux composites se généralisent. Le comportement de ces matériaux à l’impact est particulièrement complexe et mal maîtrisé.

A multidisciplinary team with complementary skills :

• Complex machining of all materials in FAO
• Heat treatments and surfaces
• CAD design
• Plastic injection

Productivity - Quality - Delay are the basic elements of MTU management.
Innovation is at the center of our concerns to increase our competitiveness.

Technochim is a company specialised in mechanical, chemical and electro-chemical treatments of metal surfaces.

These treatments are carried out on metals in order to modify their surface properties to increase their resistance to corrosion or for decorative purposes. For carbon steel, it may also constitute a base to improve adhesion of subsequent treatments such as painting, etc…

Among the different treatments at which Technochim excels, we mention in particular: 

The growth in laser marking applications is driven by an increasing need for part identification and traceability, for aircraft manufacturers, for instance. Product identification, in the form of simple alphanumerics to complicated graphics and codes, is proven to reduce costly errors, man-hours, and material waste.

Laser technology has proven to be the most consistent, high-speed, effective manner of permanent identification for the smallest industrial pieces.

CRM Group is an R&D organization active in the field of metal and steel production with the mission to develop new processes, products and applications. CRM was funded in 1948 to become the collective research Centre for the Steel and Non-Ferrous Metal Industries with laboratories and pilot facilities located at Liège and Gent. CRM Group employs 275 employees and researchers.

The Provincial High School Condorcet offers about fifty courses (bachelor's and masters).

Condorcet High School train graduates in Aerotechnics.

Applied research and community services are important activities in the high school. These businesses, in close contact with professional circles, contribute to the scientific quality of the teaching provided and the influence of the high school in society.

Located in Belgium, AMOS has been designing and building high-precision optical and mechanical equipment for more than 35 years. Its main achievements are professional telescopes, space optical systems, test equipment for space instruments, and high-precision mechanical equipment. It employs about 100 employees highly skilled in advanced technologies and offers services to the space industry, to the professional astronomy sector, to scientific laboratories and to industry.

AMOS’ added value recognized by its customers is:

The main objectives of the E-COM project are:

• to investigate different composite materials taking into account specific engine environments,
• to be able to select the best compromise for a specific part integrated in the architecture of tomorrow’s engines.

The selection of a material for its application to an engine component requires tests that are sufficiently representative of the forces undergone by the parts within the engine. This is a prerequisite to ensure the integration of technology in engine development.
