Show Notes

To effectively sustain their aviation fleets, militaries must embrace a range of different strategies. 

Understanding such approaches is crucial, ensuring force readiness for future threats. 

Welcome to Shepard 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.

Throughout four episodes, we 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.

In the first episode of this series, we heard how militaries ensure fleet readiness through effective sustainment strategies.

In this episode, we look more closely at the benefits of these approaches, examining the key lifecycle cost considerations and hear how upgrades can help avoid obsolescence.
