Defense & Aerospace

Defense and aerospace organisations rely on accurate data in the design, build and management of their mission critical assets. Whether you're producing defense-compliant S1000D technical documentation or developing maintenance schedules, up-to-date information is critical.

Yet many defense companies and defense equipment manufacturers are depending on out-dated, manual methods for utilizing and storing their data - from multiple spreadsheets, to un-controlled Word documents and time-consuming design files.

With such data forming the foundation of any defense organisation, government departments and defense companies are realizing the importance of intelligent, integrated content systems, that can re-use and leverage data - saving vast amounts of time and money.

ADG's range of software products offers defense and aerospace organisations a powerful combination of asset configuration, asset management, product lifecycle management and technical documentation tools. Throw in our integrated SCORM compliant online learning system, and you have all the tools you need to improve efficiency and know the 'known state' of any of your assets or products, at any point in time.

Our R4i product suite includes the ASD S1000D compliant publishing suite (R4i Common Source Database), XML Authoring (R4i Workbench), a stand-alone print system (R4i Binder) and royalty-free IETM/IETP Viewers (R4i Viewer).

Our 'Through Life Support' system, R4i BuildPoint, seamlessly flows product engineering data from the design and configuration stages, through to production and maintenance. By using R4i BuildPoint, teams or departments no longer need to double or triple handle information in separate systems, and content can be re-used for any purpose.

Such integration means information used out in the field, during maintenance or in training is consistent and, if changed, is all changed at the same time.

ADG's Heritage in Defense

ADG has extensive experience working within complex, secure defense and enterprise network environments.
