Defense Adaptive Solutions
Matching your highest standards or readiness and responsiveness
Faced with the rapidly changing international geopolitical situation, air forces must balance a complex technical and economic equation. Their maintenance and modernization programs must adapt to new strategic objectives, involving greater cooperation and interoperability, extended capabilities, a wider radius of action and an accelerated race for technological superiority, all while respecting increasingly stringent economic and environmental constraints.
A long-standing partner to military and government fleets, as well as to numerous defense industry suppliers, AFI KLM E&M mobilizes all its expertise, innovation capabilities and the power of its global MRO network in response to these challenges, with proven solutions to address the specific needs of armed forces in terms of technology, safety, compliance and responsiveness.
Your challenges
- Guarantee the availability of your fleet: For your mission-critical operations, the risk of flight delay or cancellation is even less tolerable than in civil aviation: in all circumstances, whether scheduled or exceptional, your aircraft must be operational and ready to take off when an operation is given the green light.
- Control your costs: We know that money is the backbone of defense, and that the art of strategy is first and foremost an endless quest to optimize the use of your resources.
- Stay at the cutting edge of technology: A traditional breeding ground for innovation, military fleet maintenance is synonymous with continuous modernization, whether this involves upgrading systems and processes or ensuring the successful entry into service of new-generation aircraft.
