AIAD was founded in 1946, it includes almost all the national enterprises that
operate with advanced technology in the design, production, research and
services activities for the civil and military aerospace, military navy and army
sectors along with all the related electronic systems connected to these sectors.

As representative of the Italian Industry, it is a member of the equivalent
European Association (ASD). In this context it acts as the point of reference for all

The CTNA is the point of convergence and synthesis of needs and priorities
that various stakeholders of the national aerospace system have matured in
recent years in the light of the global market and sectoral policies at European
and international level.
The CTNA, in fact, is only national forum which aggregates all the major
players in the national aerospace system: large, medium and small
businesses, research centers, academic world, governmental institutions,
agencies and national platforms, and category federations and regional
aerospace Industrial technology districts
The Strategic Plan of the CTNA is online and is consistent with the European
Aerospace policies, with particular reference to HORIZON 2020. In accordance
with the strategic visions at European level and promoted by ACARE and ESA,
and resumed at national level by national platforms ACARE Italia and Spin-IT,
respectively for the aviation and for the space, the CTNA identifies the need to
ensure the positioning of the Italian aerospace industry at the highest levels
and important in Europe, both in the aeronautic industry, with the challenge of
creating a “smart transport system ", environmentally sustainable and
integrated, both in space research devoted to the development, preservation
and maintenance of the role of leadership in enabling technologies.
