The portfolio is being developed through connected technical workstreams. Each programme brings together a sector challenge, an application focus, defined deliverables and the evidence needed to evaluate progress.
Programme development connects technical requirements, responsible coordination and reviewable evidence. Each stage informs the next, while review findings refine the scope, methods and priorities.
Define the technical problem, user need and scope.
Examine methods, resources, interfaces and dependencies.
Align workstreams, coordination and review arrangements.
Connect the evaluation plan to funding, safety, data and intellectual-property controls.
Maintain the agreed technical boundary and responsible delivery arrangements.
Review evidence and outcomes against application-specific criteria.
Translate reviewed findings into useful outputs and the next development priorities.
Participation does not automatically confer membership rights, AF Recognition, accreditation, certification, standards-setting authority or procurement preference. Sponsorship must not determine technical conclusions, evaluation results or governance decisions.
A focused starting point
Introduce a technical question, industrial capability or research interest. Connect your expertise with the development priorities of the Federation’s programmes and projects.
