Welcome to Shephard Studio’s Critical Care podcast, the story of military aircraft sustainment and support in an unpredictable world.
Militaries are turning to new innovative sustainment models to maintain their aviation fleets. The reasons are clear - fleet readiness and aircraft availability will be critical in the event of any future conflict.
But aircraft fleets are ageing, placing a spotlight on new and innovative sustainment strategies to keep aircraft in the air.
In this opening episode, we look at the various benefits of sustainment and life-cycle support, consider mechanisms such as performance-based logistics, and hear how the Australian Army maintains its fleet of CH-47 Chinook helicopters.
To effectively sustain their aviation fleets, militaries must embrace a range of different strategies. Understanding such approaches is crucial, ensuring force readiness for future threats.
In this episode, we examine the importance of military-industry collaboration and learn about the various ways companies are enhancing military aircraft sustainment.
We consider the role of technology in sustaining aviation fleets, asking major military operators and industry experts about their future strategies and approaches, and how they’re working together to make them a reality.
In this bonus episode, we examine the role that new technologies, such as enhanced vision systems, open systems and digital aircraft architectures, will play in tomorrow’s battlespace.
