Cybersecurity Challenges In The Aerospace Industry
Rising cyber-attacks on the confidential data transferred through sensitive paths in the value chain of the aerospace industry are expected to be a restraint on the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling services market in the forecast period. Companies involved in the value chain of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling services exchange a lot of confidential data on specifications, technology, and performance of equipment or services to enhance collaborations on design, development, and support. The data exchanged within the supply chain can be stolen and used by unethical competitors to copy products and reduce market prices for the products. To eliminate the threat, companies in the aerospace industry invest in next-generation cyber security solutions to protect their data from advanced cyber-attacks. For example, leading players such as Lockheed Martin are investing in developing cyber security solutions with offensive and defensive capabilities. Cyber-attacks by governments of enemy countries or competitors are expected to hinder the growth of the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling services market.
Digital Thread And Digital Twin In Aerospace Is Enhancing Efficiency And Maintenance
Digital thread and digital twin are two interlinked concepts trending in the aircraft parts manufacturing, repair, and maintenance market. The digital thread is a communication framework that allows connected data flow throughout the lifecycle and across functions such as design, engineering, production, and maintenance, providing an integrated, authoritative, up-to-the-minute view of the asset's data that can be accessed at anytime, anywhere. A digital twin includes design specifications and engineering models describing its geometry, materials, parts, and behavior, which give a digital model of a particular product. Both concepts analyze data captured digitally from end-to-end throughout a product's lifecycle, beginning with design and extending through maintenance, repair, and overhaul to improve the performance of future programs. In aircraft maintenance complexity, this helps in maintaining digital records, minimizing downtime, and streamlining regulatory compliance.
Aerospace Companies Adopt Predictive Maintenance Systems To Enhance Aircraft Reliability
Major companies operating in the aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhauling services market are increasing their focus on introducing predictive maintenance systems, such as aircraft health analysis and diagnosis systems, for various aircraft to maximize their profits in the market. Predictive maintenance systems are a type of maintenance strategy that uses data-driven, proactive methods to analyze the condition of equipment and predict when maintenance should be performed. For instance, in June 2023, Embraer Services & Support, a Brazil-based company that deals in commercial and executive aviation, defense, and security, launched a next-generation version of its Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis (AHEAD) system, a new predictive maintenance system for executive jets. Reactive maintenance is being replaced as the industry standard by predictive maintenance, which is supported by more sophisticated health and usage monitoring systems incorporated into flight-critical aircraft systems. AHEAD combines and examines patterns from various systems, including engine characteristics, hydraulics, pneumatics, landing gear, and instrumentation. The monitoring can spot trends and abnormalities that point to possible problems and system degradation, and it can also provide a timetable for dealing with those problems.
