TY - Type of reference TI - Aerospace defense companies: what are the technological coherences of their R&D? AU - Cécile Fauconnet AU - Didier Lebert AU - Célia Zyla AU - Sylvain Moura AB - Despite the economic and security challenges related to the French defense technological and industrial base, in particular for defense aeronautics (DA), this base has been poorly characterized from the point of view of its technologies (production and use). Our article aims to fill some of this gap. We will focus on the organization of the R&D of DA companies and their production of innovations via a "patent" approach. We propose a typology of those companies according to their capacity to generate technological synergies in their innovation activity and trade-offs they make between exploration innovations and exploitation innovations.
