Examples of our thinking
Our aerospace services
Our comprehensive services in the aerospace sector focus on partnering with clients who design and develop systems for aerospace missions. We offer:
Safety and mission critical software for aerospace
In aerospace, software isn’t just technology — it’s the backbone of safety and success. Mission-critical software powers the systems that keep your operations running smoothly and securely, delivering performance when it matters most. Safety-critical software ensures life-protecting systems operate withing managed risk tolerances, meeting the demanding standards of aerospace and aviation compliance and reliability.
Aerospace asset life-cycle management services
We work with you to realise the full potential of your existing assets and offer practical advice which can help you to identify new investment opportunities. And once we've got good oversight, we can tap into a range of digital capability options available to us to further optimise your asset performance.
Technology services
We work with you to establish your technology requirements and manage the acquisition and implementation of that technology. And where the right technology can't be found, we can build it for you. Through all this, we focus on risk, security and resilience.
Systems engineering
Our team thinks and works outside the box of more traditional engineering, by understanding how things influence one another within a whole to create and implement new multi-disciplined systems.
Systems and safety assurance
We give you and your stakeholders confidence that systems are reliable, safe, and ready to perform — no matter how complex or high-stakes the challenge.
Independent validation and verification
In critical applications, systems must work as expected when expected. Independent Validation and Verification enables confidence that systems will perform as intended. We provide an impartial, expert-led service, offering a thorough evaluation of designs, processes, and outcomes to enable confidence in ultimate quality, compliance, and reliability.
