Shrinking defense budgets, an increasingly aggressive competitor set, and riskier market conditions are pushing A&D companies to focus on protecting their profit margins. At the same time, process and technology innovation are helping A&D companies devise new business models for revenue growth and global expansion. In the today’s era of big data, A&D companies now have new ways to win in this environment. Data is coming from everywhere, as connected products, engineering designs, integrated systems, global supply chains, and extended business ecosystems become even more complex. Opportunities to manage this complexity are appearing across all parts of the industry. The most successful companies will be ones that confront complexity by leveraging the massive amount of available data, extract value from it, and turn it into a core capability to grow their business.

Architecture and system affordability optimizationIntegrate engineering and operations lifecycles to accelerate innovation and improve in-service delivery

IBM collaborates with many A&D industry partners to develop data integration and engineering workflow frameworks. In partnership with clients, IBM has developed key tools and capabilities to provide cross domain advanced decision support technology; this technology helps engineers develop complex systems by optimizing pre-defined features (performance, complexity, weight, cost) of systems.

IBM is also extending engineering design optimization capabilities to develop affordability models and computation methods for complex affordability analysis using real customer data (maintainability, interoperability, fuel costs, upgradeability). This modeling provides insight into design decisions on actual usage costs by combining system and components models, smart optimization algorithms, and operational data.

Architecture and system affordability optimization modeling will be discussed. The technology is intended to allow accurate prediction of system affordability and help make appropriate choices about architecture and components early in the design phase to improve cost-value ratios.

IBM experts in long term data preservation will be available for detailed discussions and insights around long term data preservation.


Long term data preservationArchiving of engineering design information to satisfy aircraft certification

IBM’s LTDP (Long Term Data Preservation) solution is based on leading-edge technology, A&D industry expertise, IBM Research, and industry standards. The solution was first developed to preserve decades worth of PLM data models in order to meet EASA and FAA requirements. The LTDP solution allows for long term data archive and retrieval of different types of engineering and aircraft data that is required for aircraft certification. It provides secured electronic archiving of data, including 3D/DMU data, geometric tolerance information, electrical design data and product structure (for 70-100 years of storage per EASA/FAA aircraft certification requirements).

The IBM DIAS PLM (Digital Information Archiving System for Product Life Cycle Management) solution, which forms the basis for the LTDP solution, combines processes, software, and hardware to store and manage media, while ensuring long term viability and compliance with the industry standards.

The rise of digital technology and connectivity for physical systems creates tremendous improvement opportunities for engineering design and systems maintenance. The increase in digital technology is leading to a smarter infrastructure that uses a data/insight feedback loop to help make better and more informed decisions. Smarter systems will collect product usage and performance data from the field through sensors and other devices, providing information that will help engineers produce more efficient and higher quality designs.

IBM will discuss capabilities to automate the handover of complex systems operational data to support analytics and optimization that improve future products and services.


Engineering analytics using operational data Integrate engineering and operationslifecycles adelivery

Predictive program management through improved analytics Detect areas of risk and evaluate what-if-scenarios for better decision making

Early warning of potential program issues is critical. Program teams commit to delivering products by a specific date. It is essential that the project leaders understand any impact to the on-time delivery schedule as early as possible in order to promptly deploy successful remediation actions. IBM has developed multiple program management tools using predictive analytics and advanced simulation capabilities to help these teams make better and more informed decisions.

IBM will discuss capabilities that provide project leaders with early and actionable insights into issues that introduce program risk


As A&D companies focus on their core competencies and capabilities, new relationships and business models are also emerging on a global basis. This is particularly apparent within engineering design and manufacturing domains that were previously primarily owned by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). With the evolution of a more horizontal landscape, vertically integrated enterprises are becoming unbundled; this requires more flexible and cost effective integration capabilities. IBM has developed an integration and collaboration hub solution to help A&D companies acquire these capabilities, resulting in accelerated product innovation and faster time-to-market.

IBM experts will discuss strategies and solutions aimed at optimizing collaboration among OEMs, partners, and suppliers. Technical applications and approaches usedthroughout the design cycle will be highlighted.


Integration & collaboration hubFacilitate secure ALM/PLM integration and global engineering collaboration

Today’s engineering and IT capabilities are growing exponentially. A&D companies are looking to transform their engineering organizations to accelerate innovation, enhance global collaboration, and increase efficiencies at reduced cost. The heart of this strategy is dynamic access to critical, shared resources - skilled engineering (regardless of location), capital intensive IT (consolidated / centralized), and world class applications (centrally maintained). This strategy presents opportunities for large and small organizations alike, and forms the basis for IBM’s solutions utilizing cloud technology.

Starting with a remote access demo to a centralized engineering system for a 2D/3D virtual desktop/workstation environment, IBM experts will explain how engineering and IT can work in unison for greater impact to business results.
