UGS' Teamcenter supports new business model for BAE Systems' Military Air Solutions Business Unit's goal of improving its post-production support of customers' aircraft.

UGS Corp., a global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced that Military Air Solutions, a business group of BAE Systems, has selected Teamcenter software as its enterprise knowledge management technology for specific aircraft platforms within its group. Teamcenter replaces the existing solution and a number of legacy systems.

Military Air Solutions, which selected UGS following a comprehensive evaluation process, will use UGS' Teamcenter to support its new business model of providing enhanced post-production support for customers' aircraft. Teamcenter will serve as the foundation for Military Air Solutions' maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution and will manage all of the product configurations for an individual aircraft – from design to disposal. It will also serve as a virtual knowledge manager, seamlessly integrating the data and functions associated with aircraft engineering and post-delivery service and support.

One example of how Military Air Solutions will use Teamcenter is to ensure that the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) has its required aircraft fleet available for operational use at any given time. Using UGS' PLM technology, Military Air Solutions' in-service personnel will have global access to product data that will help predict maintenance activities and requirements for spare parts, thus reducing aircraft downtime.
