How can you achieve operational excellence with digital continuity?

Quality remains a top priority across the Aerospace & Defense industry, directly impacting KPIs like production rates, cost, and customer satisfaction. Yet, siloed tools and disconnected processes continue to hinder performance.

Dassault Systèmes offers an End-to-End Quality Management approach that integrates quality across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. From Model-Based Program Planning to Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Design and Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA & PFMEA), and real-time operational feedback, our solution connects every stakeholder in a collaborative, data-driven environment.

By closing the loop between design and execution, organizations can reduce non-conformities, accelerate time-to-market, and continuously improve product and process quality.

Let’s achieve operational excellence through digital continuity, enhanced traceability, and proactive risk mitigation—ensuring quality is no longer a constraint but a competitive advantage.

How do you accelerate certification without compromising safety?

As aerospace programs evolve toward novel, sustainable aircraft, certification remains a critical—and costly—milestone. Today, most Aerospace & Defense companies use simulation to support design, but siloed teams and fragmented tools limit its full potential.

With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Dassault Systèmes enables a unified, model-based approach to simulation and certification. By integrating design and simulation data in one collaborative environment, companies can accelerate design-simulation loops, improve traceability, and drive program maturity. Analysts can perform advanced simulations with built-in version control, knowledge capture, and visualization—enhancing collaboration across teams.

This transformation not only improves product performance but enables Model-Based Certification—a paradigm shift that reduces time, cost, and risk while increasing product safety. The result: faster certification for novel air vehicles, with greater confidence in regulatory compliance and operational readiness.

How do you reduce maintenance costs while increasing fleet availability?

In today’s aerospace and defense landscape, sustainment is no longer just about maintenance—it’s about mission readiness. Traditional Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) processes must evolve into smart, data-driven operations to meet increasing demands for availability, efficiency, and cost control.

With Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin Experience, organizations gain a 360° view of fleet operations—bridging engineering, maintenance, and service data into one dynamic environment. This approach accelerates the creation of maintenance documentation directly from engineering sources, reducing both effort and errors.

Smart sustainment empowers teams to optimize planning and execution, proactively address issues, and extend asset life—all while minimizing unplanned downtime and total lifecycle costs.

The result: faster decision-making, lower sustainment costs, and improved mission readiness across the entire fleet.

How do you ensure mission-critical quality at scale?

In Aerospace & Defense, precision manufacturing is non-negotiable. Achieving production at rate and quality requires unmatched accuracy, reliability, and performance. From turbine blades to structural airframe components and guidance systems, every part must meet tight tolerances and rigorous safety standards.

To meet these demands, the industry is embracing advanced manufacturing technologies—CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and automated inspection systems—to deliver complex geometries with micron-level precision. Lightweight yet durable materials are also driving innovation in machining and material science.

At Dassault Systèmes, we support this transformation by connecting engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams in a unified digital environment. This integration ensures that design intent is preserved through to production, enabling continuous verification, faster ramp-up, and fewer non-conformities.

The result: higher throughput, reduced scrap, and the confidence to deliver mission-critical systems with precision—every time.
