As customers demand new technology in modern aircraft, trends like electrification take deeper hold, and companies continue to see value in international talent that requires global development sites, aerospace and defense organizations need to determine whether the status quo is the right choice for a future of growth. The ability to modernize test and design cycle approaches with standardized test architectures, more emulation and simulation, and new and improved systems and data management tools is the difference between thriving with a sustainable competitive advantage and struggling to survive. Organizations can standardize test by using the same technology and tools across the development cycle and across applications and job sites.
