The Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structures (CRC-ACS) [1] is a research organisation partially funded by Australia's Cooperative Research Centre Program (CRC).[2] CRC-ACS has been at the forefront of Australian research efforts into advanced composite materials/structures since its inception in 1991. The purpose of the Composites CRC is to bring together research providers and businesses using composite materials to provide competitive technology for the Australia n industry. CRC-ACS conducts core research activities considering advanced composite manufacturing and design with associated program members along with a large portfolio of commercial activities with local and international companies.[3][4] CRC-ACS has forged a spin-off company, ACS Australia [5] which now employs the core staff contributing to the CRC-ACS research program.
The organisation has offices in three cities on the east side of Australia, which are provided by Australian companies as contributions to the program:
- Melbourne (head office): provided by DSTO, Fishermans Bend
- Melbourne: provided by Boeing Aerostructures Australia [6] (formerly Hawker de Havilland), Fishermans Bend
- Sydney: provided by Boeing Aerostructures Australia, Bankstown
- Brisbane: provided by Australian Aerospace,[7] Australia TradeCoast [8]
The core research activities are broken down into research programs which are undertaken in collaboration with both core and supporting participants. Each program relies upon collaborative research efforts between CRC-ACS, local and international universities and businesses invested in composite materials.
CRC-ACS has produced a number of commercialised technologies that have been developed from conception to finished article.
