Aerospace, Transportation and Energy Industries demand advancements in technology to produce leading edge products and provide effective and efficient services. However, lack of resources or expertise often requires some or all of the development work to be conducted outside of the company. It is specialized groups such as AMES that can provide this type of assistance.
