Through the management of consortia focused on various research and technical areas, OAI brings together leaders in their field to solve problems. Through neutral and unbiased management, we help establish collaboration where competition traditionally exists. We connect government labs, industry stakeholders, and academic institutions to promote and facilitate the sharing of valuable industry insights, technology innovations, technical talent, or specialized facilities and resources to solve technological problems that affect aerospace and defense.
AeroAcoustics Research Consortium (AARC)
The AeroAcoustics Research Consortium (AARC) was established by NASA Glenn Research Center and Industry partners with the goal of advancing the development of technologies for reducing the environmental impact of noise produced by commercial aircraft. (Link to page)
Distributed Engine Controls Working Group (DECWG®)
The Distributed Engine Controls Working Group (DECWG) is dedicated to advancing affordable, environmentally robust distributed control systems for dual-use aeronautic propulsion, power, and thermal management applications. These systems aim to reduce weight and volume, support advanced control algorithms, and enable modular, scalable, and future-proof control infrastructures. (Link to page)
Digital, Research, Innovation, Validation and Experimentation (DRIVE) Consortium
The D.R.I.V.E. Consortium was created to draw upon the best and the brightest that our nation has to offer for accomplishing a digital transformation of the Air Force. The scope is broad and intended to touch every aspect of the entire Air Force value-chain, which as a result will necessitate engagement with a variety of industry stakeholders and academic institutions.
