Why read this RadarView?

Aerospace and defense (A&D) enterprises are facing challenges arising from supply chain risks, regulatory compliance, increasing operational costs, heightened security measures, and pressure to meet sustainability goals. To address these critical issues, companies are actively harnessing the power of digital technologies to revolutionize their manufacturing processes, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities, and supply chain operations. Exploring advanced technologies, including generative AI, AR/VR, and digital twins, these enterprises aim to enhance productivity and refine operational workflows. As this requires strong technological expertise and delivery capabilities, A&D enterprises are collaborating with service providers for digital transformation.

The Aerospace and Defense Digital Services 2023–2024 RadarView™ highlights key supply-side trends in the A&D industry and Avasant’s viewpoint on them. It aids companies in identifying top service providers to assist them in the digital transformation of their offerings for this sector. It also analyzes each service provider’s capabilities in technology and delivery support, enabling organizations to identify the right strategic partners.
