The aerospace and defense enterprise must respond to disruption by reassessing long-term production plans and near-term assembly line schedules.
The aerospace and defense industry is evolving with advancements in digital, autonomous flights, integrated aircraft health management, and urban air mobility, emphasizing decarbonization, operational efficiency, and enhanced passenger experiences.
The Aerospace and Defence (A&D) industry is rapidly adopting newer technologies to address the challenges of shrinking budgets, rising operational cost, infrastructure management, MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) and a complex global supply chain.
The growth of low-cost airlines has brought about enormous pressures on aircraft acquisition costs, operating efficiencies, and reliability. Aircraft need to be cheaper, lighter, more fuel efficient, safer, and quieter all at the same time. These demands have forced advancements in design tools, materials, and manufacturing technologies. Collaborative design tools, advanced composites, additive manufacturing techniques, high speed machining, automated assembly and numerous other advancements have totally transformed the way aircraft are designed and built.
