Overview
The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry provided the infrastructure to transport over 3.7 billion passengers, delivered over 1,800 new commercial aircraft and launched 85 orbital space missions. Many innovations today depend on technology out of the A&D world, for example, imagine smartphones without GPS capabilities.
To enable A&D companies to build a live operation, they require infrastructure to connect all elements of manufacturing and the supply chain. To build more agile manufacturing environment technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), machine to machine communication, artificial intelligence, machine learning and business networks utility and business value are absolutes. All these tools require a digital foundation with a common set of business definitions and rules that must be supported by security. The result is a platform to support the whole, not only the parts. Enabling A&D companies to gain insights for optimization based on customer needs will drive innovations.
