Industry leaders from the United States and Europe signed a memorandum of understanding at the ASD Convention, Istanbul, 6 October 2011, that formalizes their working relationship to develop joint standardisation approach for Aeronautical and Defense eBusiness Solutions.

"In order to promote common, interoperable, electronic business solutions in the aerospace and defence industries of Europe and the United States and their supply network, and to make optimal use of the resources available, ASD and AIA agree to work in concert on the joint identification and development of standards to support such solutions.
 
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between ASD and AIA is intended to set the parameters for an agreement between the two organizations on harmonizing U.S. and European guidance related to Standards for E-Business Solutions where appropriate.
 
The two organizations shall establish a relationship between relevant parts of their organizations in order to:
  • Exchange information on relevant standards and strategies
  • Develop joint guidelines for the use of electronic business standards where agreed by both parties
  • Collaborate on development of common standards where agreed by both parties
  • Identification of additional areas of harmonization, within the scope of this MOU that could serve the aerospace and defense industry."
