A group of Colorado lawmakers wants to ensure that the state's aerospace industry lives long and prospers.
The Colorado Aerospace and Defense Caucus advocates for the massive impact that the space and defense industries have on the state's economy. But the caucus started out, shall we say, going where no caucus has gone before.
"Last legislative session, some interns and I were watching ' Star Trek' during lunches and breaks, and we thought 'Why don't we start a Star Trek Caucus?' " said Rep. Paul Rosenthal, D-Denver. "Let's have some fun while we do some serious work."
The Star Trek Caucus shared an equal appreciation for watching the crew of the USS Enterprise explore the universe and for the state's role in real space exploration missions such as NASA's MAVEN and Orion.
To that end, it invited experts from various areas of Colorado's aerospace economy to speak at its meetings before members watched the show. Presenters included former state Rep. Joe Rice, now the director of government relations at Littleton-based Lockheed Martin Space Systems.
"Unfortunately, not a lot of legislators took it seriously, so we decided to make it more serious," Rosenthal said.
Hence, the Colorado Aerospace and Defense Caucus was born.
The group now a bipartisan team helmed by Rosenthal; Rep. Dan Nordberg, R-Colorado Springs; Sen. Larry Crowder, R-Alamosa; and Sen. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora no longer watches "Star Trek" together. It does, however, work closely to promote Colorado's aerospace and defense industries in the statehouse.
Rosenthal, who also teaches at Ridge View Academy, a youth-corrections facility in Watkins, feels strongly about getting the next generation of space advocates on board to the point of taking his students to Lockheed Martin's Waterton Canyon campus to see spacecraft up close.
"I definitely have a long history of being interested in aerospace ... and people tend to focus on things that people promote," he said. "This is one of my passion projects promoting the aerospace and defense industries and getting kids in there."
Excerpt from:
BEN GURION INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Israel, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- An electronics payload that incorporates as many as seven sensors has completed flight tests on manned and unmanned aircraft.
Israel Aerospace Industries describes its M-19HD payload as an all-weather high-definition, compact, multi-spectral, multi-sensor, single line-replacement unit payload that provides continuous day/night surveillance.
It is 22.6 inches wide, 27.3 inches high, and weighs between 165-187 pounds. Among its options are HD day cameras, infrared cameras, laser designator with in-flight bore sight, laser range finder, electron-multiplied charged-coupled-device camera or short-wave infrared camera.
The MD-19HD was originally designed for use on IAI's Heron-1 and Heron TP unmanned aerial vehicles, as well on aerostats and manned platforms, the company said.
"The M-19HD payload is the ideal system for long-endurance ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions and area dominance," said Shlomo Gold, acting general manager of IAI's Tamam Division. "The M-19HD provides powerful sensors, high stabilization and unique image processing features, together with long range persistent surveillance capabilities.
"The M-19HD follows IAI's tradition of innovation and offers our customers high performance and a cost-effective solution."
The MD-19HD is available for the international market.

An updated assessment of aerospaces outsized impact on Washington state estimates that last year the industry supported 267,000 jobs here and paid out $22 billion in wages and $635 million in state taxes.
Seattle Times aerospace reporter
The number of Washington workers employed directly in aerospace edged down last year, but the industrys overall economic impact still grew, according to a new analysis commissioned by advocates for the industry.
Last year, the state had 93,400 aerospace jobs, down 800 from the previous year, a decline that was largely due to job cuts at Boeing.
Yet the increased economic impact was also due to Boeing, because of its injection of $320 million last January when each member of the Machinist union was paid a ratification bonus of $10,000 after they voted to extend their contract and accept a pension freeze to secure the 777X for the state.
That really boosted overall wages, even though the jobs actually went down, said Spencer Cohen, the analyst with Seattle-based consulting firm Community Attributes Inc. (CAI) who prepared the data.
The extra spending by Boeing Machinists supported a lot of indirect jobs in sectors such as retail and auto sales, Cohen said.
As a result, the new study estimates that in 2014 the aerospace industry supported a total of 267,000 direct and indirect jobs that paid out $22 billion in wages.
CAI estimates the state took in $635 million in taxes due to aerospace activity, including $201 million in direct business taxes paid by aerospace companies, plus additional business taxes paid by suppliers to those companies and sales taxes on items bought by employees.
Boeings commercial-jet activities generated $528 million in taxes for the state including direct taxes paid by Boeing, direct taxes paid by Boeing suppliers, and sales taxes directly and indirectly linked to its business.

Alcoa might be the worlds third largest aluminum producer, but in recent quartersthe company has been working to rebrand itself as a lightweight metals provider,bolstering its profitable aerospace business with multi-billion-dollar acquisitionsof businesses like jet-maker Firth Rixson and aerospace supplier Tital.In thelatest such acquisition, Alcoa has announced that it will buy RTI International Metals, a worldwide titanium supplier.
Alcoa announced Monday morning that it will acquire RTI in astock-for-stock deal worth $1.5 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Alcoa will receive all of RTIs outstanding stock while RTI shareholders will receive a very precise2.8315 Alcoa shares for eachof their RTI shares. Based on Alcoas$14.48 per-share closing price on March 6, this gives RTI a value of $41 per share.
In explaining the deal, Alcoa said that acquiring RTI will strengthen its aerospace portfolio and expand its titanium offerings. RTIs parts-assembly operations should alsoallow Alcoa to produce larger and more complex aerospace components.
Alcoa is accelerating its value-add growth engine by acquiring titanium leader RTI, Alcoa CEOKlaus Kleinfeld said in a statement Monday morning. We are combining two innovators in materials science and process technology, shifting Alcoas transformation into a higher gear. RTI expands our aerospace portfolio market reach and positions us to capture future growth to deliver compelling value for customers, shareholders and employees.
The aluminum maker is projecting $100 million in synergies by 2019, with RTI contributing $1.2 billion in revenue by that time as well. Alcoa also said thatRTI grows its pro forma 2014 annual aerospace revenues by 13% to $5.6 billion.
For RTIs part, CEO Dawne Hickton said Monday that innovation and scale are critical to winning in both the titanium and aerospace industries today, which is why this transaction is such a natural strategic fit for both RTI and Alcoa. Hickton went on to add that she is pleased to have a deal that will deliver immediate value to RTIs shareholders.
Pending the necessary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, the deal is expected to close in the next three to six months.
Following the announcement of the $1.5 billion deal, shares of RTI surged while Alcoa sank: RTI is currently up 41%, while Alcoa is down 4.5%. Year-over-year, Alcoa is up 13.5% and RTI is up 46.3%.

Successful kick-off in Bavarian atmosphere 100 national and international participants from aerospace industry suppliers met buyers chances for SMEs of aerospace industry future market of unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAV)
AIRTEC 2015 Kick-Off-Veranstaltung in Mnchen (Source: DEMAT GmbH)
Frankfurt am Main, March 6, 2015 On February 26th, 2015, the AIRTEC 2015 kick-off event 10th Anniversary of AIRTEC and Premiere in Munich With joint forces and spirit to its success took place from 11 am to 4 pm at the exhibition center Munich. The positive feedback was overwhelming. Around 100 representatives from the national and international aerospace supply industry, system suppliers, and engine manufacturers, as well as from institutions, associations, and foreign governments visited the exhibition center Munich to inform themselves about AIRTEC 2015 at its new fair venues whilst enjoying the Bavarian atmosphere.
The 10th AIRTEC will be hosted under the auspices of the Bavarian State Ministry in cooperation with the bavAIRia e.V. Aerospace Cluster. Through this cooperation AIRTEC will be significantly strengthened and expects a recognisable growth in terms of exhibition space, number of exhibitors, B2B-meetings, technical experts, congress attendants and the level of internationality for 2015.
The numerous guests from Germany, the United States, France, Canada, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Turkey, and South Korea experienced impressive and exciting presentations at the event. The guests were welcomed by the president and CEO of AIRTEC, Diana Schnabel, who in her welcoming speech expressed her delight about having moved AIRTEC to Munich since the state of Bavaria and bavAIRia e.V. are competent partners, who share her enthusiasm and ideas for the aerospace industry.
The Deputy CEO of Messe Mnchen, Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, clearly declared AIRTEC as the perfect match to the new location Munich, as AIRTEC fits into Munichs portfolio with its high amount of technology fairs and into the modern fair site. Horst Steinberg, member of the executive board of bavAIRia e.V., outlined the strong innovativeness and the high quality standards of the Bavarian aerospace industry and the visionary leadership of the Bavarian government having already played a significant role in many important projects. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Florian Holzapfel, head of the Institute of Flight System Dynamics of the Technical University Munich, gave a visionary and fascinating speech in which he focused on two main topics: The chances for small and medium-sized enterprises in the aerospace industry and the emerging opportunities for aerospace in the future market of unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAV).
Other speakers, among them representatives from procurement of OHB System, Pratt Whitney, TAI Turkish Aerospace Industries, and numerous exhibitors and suppliers spoke about their positive experiences with AIRTEC and the successful B2B concept, about AIRTECs role for the aerospace supply industry and the expectations towards the trade fair were addressed as well.

Aerospace manufacturing has rebounded in the United States with more than $25 billion in investments since 2012.
The consulting firm ICF International released its study analyzing more than 2,000 investment transactions. It showed production jobs and manufacturing work that had been moving to China and other markets, have been moving to the U.S. over the last three years.
ICF aviation consultant Kevin Michaels calls the move rightshoring, as relative costs in the U.S. have come more in line with China. He credits that with more automation in factories, lower energy costs and rising wage rates in China.
"The U.S. has been a magnet for new aerospace investment," Michaels said. "Boeing is looking at doing more of the aero structures in its own factories."
Boeing (IW 500/13), working to keep costs to a minimum, has cut back on what it outsources to make its new 787 Dreamliner, moving more of the production in-house. Meanwhile, rival Airbus (IW 1000/47), along with investment from other foreign companies, is opening a production line plant in Alabama, creating 1,000 new jobs. The first new plane is expected to roll off the line in 2016.
The new work is making an impact in several parts of the U.S., according to Business Insider. Along with the Pacific Northwest and Alabama, Florida wants a piece. State leaders are talking up its proximity to five major aircraft facilities, military bases, along with the hundreds of aerospace and defense companies already in the state, and the tens of thousands of potential employees with experience in aerospace work.
Other countries are still big players in the industry and that wont change, according to Michaels, who noted Chinas huge workforce and Mexicos importance as a supplier of parts.
But when it comes to new investment in the field he said, "The U.S. at this point in time has become the hot spot in aerospace manufacturing. Three years ago it looked like everything was heading to China. Now that's changed."
