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 national and foreign institutions for the coordination of all those activities in

which there is a need to represent the sector’s national interest.
