Current projects of the Future Launchers Preparatory Programme (FLPP) include the ISCAR bracket.
The ISCAR bracket is a study case of an advanced ALM application on a critical secondary structure on the Ariane 5 ECA, up to recurrent flight. The activity started mid-2015. A topology-optimised design of the bracket has been performed and sample tests are running. In the next step, a prototype will be manufactured.
