To enable the warfighter to stay ahead of the threat, 90% of aerospace and defense executives intend to digitally transform their business and industry, yet only 10% have made impactful progress. Closing this gap represents a significant—and untapped—competitive advantage for the warfighter. The faster it can be closed, the greater the advantage becomes. Physics-based simulation accelerates the impact of digital transformation delivering 20% reductions in acquisition time, 30% reductions in labor requirements and 30% improvements in maintenance times. This eBook identifies the 5 simulation capabilities that are critical to achieving these outcomes and for successful deployment in the military industrial ecosystem, including real-world case studies.
