AI governance for aerospace and defence
Faster engineering and support from AI, with assurance your customers can rely on.
Aerospace, defence and engineering companies are using AI across design, manufacturing, support and the products they deliver. We help you capture that value while keeping safety, airworthiness and controlled data under control.
Where AI is arriving
AI is arriving across the product lifecycle.
Engineering and design
Test reports summarised and technical documents drafted with AI, with controlled data kept in approved tools.
Manufacturing and quality
AI inspecting parts for defects, with inspectors sampling and approving within agreed limits.
Support services
Maintenance planned and fleet health monitored with AI, for your own operations and your customers’.
Programmes and back office
Bids, plans and reports prepared with AI support, plus copilots in Microsoft 365.
What others expect of you
Customers and authorities will want to see how AI is controlled.
- Safety and airworthiness decisions made and recorded by accountable people
- Controlled technical data kept out of AI tools that are not approved for it
- Assurance evidence for AI built into the products and services you deliver
- Suppliers whose AI touches your parts or data held to your standards in the contract
We work alongside your engineering, airworthiness, quality and export control teams to map your AI controls to the frameworks you already work within, such as software assurance standards, aviation authorities’ developing guidance on machine learning, Ministry of Defence policy on safe and responsible AI, and export controls. Your safety, airworthiness and quality systems stay the authority for every safety decision, and our work sits alongside them. We help you show customers and authorities how AI is controlled, including where controlled technical data could reach AI tools.
The questions to start with
Three questions for your executive and engineering leaders.
AI helps your people work
Which AI tools are engineers and staff using, and could controlled or classified data be reaching them?
AI does the work
Who owns each agent shaping an inspection or maintenance decision, and who approved the limits it works within?
AI becomes your business
Where AI is built into what you sell, how will it be assured for customers and authorities, and who carries the liability if it is wrong?
Know what AI is running in your company, and keep it governed.
