Challenges for Military Maintenance
Military branches are challenged to become more expeditionary in nature, with a mandate to be operating in theater in a matter of weeks rather than months, and to be able to sustain operations in situ. Defense operators must transform from fixed supply chains to flexible, on-demand supply networks. To conduct expeditionary and peacekeeping missions, combining joint and coalition capabilities, flexibility, agility and full deployability are key.
Another key driver for defense operators is interoperability. Defense organizations require logistics capability across their entire operations. They need an integrated logistics picture that fuses both supply and maintenance functions, in all operating environments - sea, land and air. The ability to share information across service branches is critical to the effectiveness and efficiency of modern defense organizations, including their ability to co-operate and collaborate with allies and sub-contractors as well.
In the military aviation maintenance sector, mission readiness remains paramount, and defense operators must achieve both reliable and affordable mission readiness. Aircraft and supporting equipment must be operational and ready to go to respond to expected and unforeseen threats. Readiness management is particularly challenging in the defense environment due to the complexity of the weapons systems, large mixed military fleets, and the fact that weapons platforms are operated out of both permanent and deployed sites worldwide. Efficient fleet maintenance management requires the ability to manage the flow of information between these worldwide sites.
