Airbus SmartForce Taps Data Analytics for Military Maintenance
Airbus's SmartForce data analytics system is being introduced for military aircraft operators.

Airbus is looking to apply its civil aircraft market experience in tapping the power of advanced data analytics to the military sector with the launch this week of its new SmartForce suite. The new product is intended to allow military operators to exploit the data gathered by their aircraft to improve operational safety, boost mission availability, and reduce maintenance support costs. A primary benefit is expected to be to allow operators to improve their ability to troubleshoot equipment, optimize maintenance, predict maintenance needs and manage demand for support materials.
