Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Technological breakthroughs foster nearly limitless innovation in aerospace and defense. However, while companies are focused on reducing budgets and cycle times, these innovations have increased product complexity, multiplying the time and cost to achieve certification. To be innovative and reduce costs and cycle times, certification and compliance requirements must be met and verified during every step of development within all functional areas. This is accomplished by connecting data silos with a single digital thread.

Beginning with verification planning, it’s vital at every stage to confirm compliance is met and requirements are associated with the appropriate means of compliance, such as test articles and analysis types. Throughout a program, full traceability is paramount, as is ensuring the most up-to-date baseline design is being tested. Until now, these have been time-intensive, error-prone manual tasks, made more complex by the need to collaborate within a global supply chain. The Verification Management digital thread links people and processes worldwide and introduces automation into the planning, scheduling, execution, and management of verification activities. With real-time visibility into the status of verification deliverables, the certification process for new products is more streamlined.
The Verification Management digital thread consolidates multiple systems and data silos into a single closed-loop system, so companies can easily demonstrate verification with automated traceability back to the CAD model, simulation model, and relevant tests. This expertly managed data can be shared directly with certifying agencies through a collaborative environment facilitated by the digital thread. By opening this channel of communication and compliance reporting with authorities, airworthiness certification can be achieved much faster and more efficiently because the data is precise, high quality, and easily auditable.
