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 Australian 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.
