The Critical Care podcast
Welcome to Shephard Studio’s Critical Care podcast, the story of military aircraft sustainment and support in an unpredictable world. We are brought to you in partnership with our sponsor Collins Aerospace. Over the course of four episodes, we will look at the role of sustainment in ensuring fleet readiness, consider the part that technology plays in reducing downtime and hear about the advantages of greater collaboration between industry and the military. And we consider the future, how ever-changing requirements and new technologies are changing the game further.
