One Platform for Digital MRO
Harness the power of data on a single integrated digital platform to optimize fleet maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in Aerospace & Defense.
How Do You Reduce Maintenance Costs While Increasing Mission Readiness?
In modern defense operations, sustainment must go beyond routine maintenance. It must be intelligent, connected, and mission-driven. With growing pressure to maximize fleet availability and minimize lifecycle costs, traditional MRO practices are no longer sufficient.
Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin Experience empowers defense stakeholders with a unified platform that integrates design, manufacturing, and operational data. This digital continuity creates a 360° view of each asset—from initial configuration to field performance—enabling predictive maintenance, faster diagnostics, and reduced unplanned downtime.
Maintenance documentation is automatically generated from certified engineering sources, improving accuracy and accelerating updates. Every component, action, and system status is traceable—ensuring readiness, compliance, and operational excellence.
Smart sustainment transforms sustainment into a strategic capability—enhancing asset reliability, extending service life, and ensuring forces are equipped and mission-ready at all times.
MBSE for Defense Electronics
Secure acquisition of modular defense electronics through model-based collaboration and virtual twins — all powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform.
How Do You Manage Growing Complexity While Accelerating System Development?
Modern defense systems are increasingly complex, and under pressure to be delivered faster than ever. Meeting these demands requires more than traditional engineering—it calls for a generative, model-based approach that scales with complexity and compresses development timelines.
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform now introduces Generative Cybersystems, building on its robust virtual twin foundation to empower defense programs with next-generation capabilities. By automating system architecture creation and accelerating detailed design through AI-driven Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), teams can secure performance, traceability, and cyber-resilience from the outset.
This generative approach enables faster iteration, deeper integration, and earlier validation—critical to delivering mission-ready capabilities on time and within scope. As defense programs demand more sophistication in less time, Generative Cybersystems provide the blueprint for delivering innovation at speed—with confidence, security, and control.
Cloud Technologies Central for Defense Sovereignty
Discover the frontline of defense sovereignty as cloud technology unlocks secure storage of extensive data on one collaborative platform, readily accessible to all.
How Do You Enable Secure Collaboration Without Compromising Sovereignty?
The need for sovereign, cyber-secure infrastructure is more urgent than ever. Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive defense data is not just an IT concern—it’s a matter of national security.
Dassault Systèmes offers a highly secured and sovereign cloud platform, purpose-built to meet the most stringent defense regulations. Designed for collaboration across multiple stakeholders, it embeds cybersecurity, intellectual property protection, and data compliance at its core.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers the agility and scalability of cloud-based collaboration—with the assurance of sovereign data control and secure hosting infrastructures. By enabling secure cooperation across defense programs while maintaining regulatory and cyber compliance, we ensure that digital innovation in defense remains both trusted and protected.
Critical Enablers for Defense Modernization
We are in an unprecedented period of defense modernization fueled by increased defense budgets and technology breakthroughs like hypersonics and autonomous systems.
How Do You Accelerate Defense System Acquisition Without Compromising Complexity, Interoperability, or Readiness?
In an era of escalating global instability, nations are fast-tracking defense modernization to maintain strategic advantage. But acquiring next-generation systems isn’t just about investment—it’s about speed, agility, and resilience across the full acquisition lifecycle.
Defense platforms today are complex systems of systems, expected to interoperate seamlessly with allied assets, cyber-secured networks, and legacy technologies. This demands a shift to model-based, collaborative methodologies that unify stakeholders across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing.
To stay ahead of emerging threats, defense organizations must reduce lead times from design to deployment. That means digitalizing acquisition processes, ensuring real-time coordination between industry and government, and enabling fast, modular reconfiguration of mission-critical systems.
Dassault Systèmes’ platform approach empowers defense programs to break silos, manage complexity, and accelerate delivery—without compromising compliance or operational excellence.
