In today’s defense industry, connecting as-designed data with as-maintained data across the entire lifecycle of complex systems is becoming increasingly critical. If performance data, maintenance history, and upgrade details from actual operating environments can be linked to design and engineering data, the efficiency and reliability of next-generation defense products can be significantly improved.
Siemens’ solutions for optimized sustainment and availability connects maintenance data to the digital twin, reflecting asset conditions in real time while supporting accurate maintenance planning, Backfit RCM execution, and Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). This helps improve First Time Fix Rate (FTFR), reduce unnecessary downtime and unlock aftermarket opportunities such as parts sales, upgrades and customized service contracts.
This infographic provides a starting point for design improvement through in-service performance feedback and combat system integration through the digital thread.
