Rotterdam. 24 April 2023. The #AERALIS team is showcasing at IT2EC 2023. Engineering Director Matt Powlson and Associate Don Turnbull will give a briefing on DigitalEngineering for Synthetic Training Devices on Wednesday 26th April at 1100 in Theatre 3.
AERALIS™, the transformational British military jet developer, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AI-based aviation decision support software specialist Aerogility, to evaluate opportunities for an aircraft service offering in the light fast jet defence market to support training and operational air support roles. The companies will work together to develop an AERALIS digital enterprise model that will aid in the development and sale of the AERALIS aircraft service and digital offering. AERALIS will access global markets and intends to deliver customer value and sales through reconfiguring fleets as part of enabling transformative flying training and operational air systems.
The MoU covers a range of Aerogility services, including proven capabilities in developing AI-based enterprise digital decision support solutions, focussing on optimising aircraft service whole-life costs and aircraft availability. This will help shape how the design of the AERSIDE™ system, common Integrated Logistics Support system, spares, and trained technicians utilised across a fleet of AERALIS variants will deliver significant benefits, maximising aircraft availability at a reduced cost.
This is a further partnership in a long sequence for the British jet developer with several companies building towards the ultimate delivery of the aircraft, including Thales UK, Atkins, Siemens, Martin-Baker and Hamble Aerostructures. AERALIS has also recently signed collaborative MoU’s with Ascent Flight Training and AirTanker marking a decisive step in the progress of the AERALIS jet’s development. The company is currently in Phase Two of a three-year contract with the Royal Air Force’s Rapid Capabilities Office, and most recently was awarded a £9m digital engineering contract from the UK Ministry of Defence to access AERALIS’ innovative digital engineering approach.
Aerogility works with major aerospace organisations spanning both civil and defence. Its software runs intelligent ’what-if’ analysis and detailed business simulations of a company’s operational performance. Aerogility helps companies make more informed business-critical decisions, delivering higher availability, lower costs and safer operations. Aerogility’s model-based AI uses intelligent agents to represent everything from aircraft and components to facilities and personnel.
