The Aerospace Industry Support Initiative (AISI) helps small, medium and micro enterprises
#SMMEs de-risk their technologies and products.
Companies receive support for product and technology development as well as the development of standards and accreditations. This support has resulted in the development and production of small gas turbines, stabilised cameras, hyperspectral cameras for low-earth observation, advanced antennas, unmanned aerial vehicles and composite-based products.
This year, AISI celebrates 20 years of working with SMMEs in aerospace and defence, having been established in 2006 as a strategic initiative of
@the_dtic to strengthen the competitiveness, sustainability and growth of South Africa’s aerospace and defence industry. AISI is hosted and managed by the CSIR.
