IBM Engineering Insider Series | Transforming the Engineering Process for Aerospace & Defense

Today’s products and systems in the Aerospace and Defense industry are becoming more complex with new technologies rapidly disrupting the traditional norms. Disruptive innovations are creating an environment for the “art of the possible”, which unfortunately also creates new threats to maintain compliant and safe systems. 

On the A&D front there is a call for a “digital engineering initiative”, where suppliers are being asked to adopt digital techniques that help enable a leap in speed and efficiency for bringing new systems from concept to an operational state. 

The IBM Engineering Lifecycle platform (ELM) offers a set of capabilities that enables  a digital transformation of the engineering process.

In this presentation we’ll present the core capabilities of the ELM platform and demonstrate how it supports digital engineering practices along the product engineering cycle. We’ll look at an “end-to-end” practice from early stakeholder needs to verification and validation, involving advanced approaches such as model-based systems engineering, agile engineering and AI to realize the digital engineering vision.
