The FIDELIO Consortium, which aims to find a practical solution for onboard detection of atmospheric hazards such as wake vortex, wind shear and clear air turbulence to overcome the current limitations of LIDAR systems for use in commercial aircraft. The consortium includes eight leading industries and academic institutes in Belgium, France, Germany, Israel and Portugal.
The OPTIPEK Consortium, which is working to develop technological solutions for the packaging of optical fibers and sub-systems within the field of optical-fiber based communications applications.
The AVNET Consortium which aims to overcome the problem of lengthy passenger delays at airports caused by the need to perform extensive security checks on every passenger.
The Micro Opto Electro Mechanical Systems (MOEMS) Consortium which will establish the guidelines, rules and tools that are required to establish full-scale production capabilities for MOEMS devices.
