Aerospace and Defence

We serve aerospace and defense industry customers in several areas, including mechanical design and stress calculations, software and electrical hardware development, flight mechanics, technical feasibility studies, system verification and testing. We have special expertise in composite structures and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Many of our customers have benefited from our systems engineering expertise, with focus on system safety and requirement management. We have developed control systems and electrochemical energy storage systems. We provide our customers with Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), performance calculation and balance charts for commercial airlines.

Our experts are well versed in specifications and regulatory requirements placed on technical documentation in the aerospace and defense industries. Etteplan's services in the area of technical documentation comply with S1000D, S2000M or ATA industry specifications. Our services include the implementation of Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100) and the creation of multilingual Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), spare parts catalogues, technical illustrations, animations and simulations.

Our versatile competence and in-depth knowledge of the aerospace and defense industry allows us to provide complex services in the area of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)/Logistic Support Analysis (LSA), system verification and testing, mechanical engineering and stress calculations, Electrochemical Energy Storage systems, flight mechanics, systems engineering and many others. Etteplan’s expertise includes balance and performance calculations, as well as product development services and the procurement of aerospace systems. Our expertise in high-performance fiber reinforced composites can be seen in several commercial aerospace applications.

Etteplan's defense industry knowledge is based on its long-term customer relationships. The integrated approach, also referred to as Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), enables an accurate estimation of the total life-cycle cost of an aircraft, including logistics and maintenance requirements over its life cycle. Taking into account that an aircraft can be in use for more than 50 years means that the operating and maintenance costs will make up a considerable amount of its total life-cycle costs. Using ILS methodology makes it possible to reduce the total life-cycle costs while keeping high operational availability. Etteplan supports its customers with calculations, availability analyses, maintainability and safety analyses and solutions. The ILS approach is integrated in each stage of product development and together with Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) provides a comprehensive service package designed to fulfill the defense industry needs.
