Systecon, a leading provider of software and services for analysis-driven Life Cycle Management (LCM), is proud to support the Global Combat Air Program (GCAP) in the groundbreaking trilateral collaboration project between the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan to develop a next-generation fighter aircraft by 2035. A long-term trusted supplier and partner to many of the main stakeholders involved in GCAP, Systecon has been selected by BAE Systems Air to deliver Opus Suite software and related services to the GCAP Head Quarter, where it will be leveraged to support the program's data-driven LCM-approach and contribute to the development of a truly sovereign 6:th generation fighter jet. With a rich history of over two decades supporting BAE Systems and their use of Opus Suite in a wide range of programs, Systecon is both honored and committed to supporting the BAE Systems Air GCAP Team at Warton as well as the collaborative efforts at the main GCAP program office.
The recent procurement of Opus Suite optimization software OPUS10 and simulation software SIMLOX for dedicated use by the GCAP HQ is a testament to Systecon's dedication to providing leading-edge analytics and reliable decision support for supportability engineering, systems engineering, and mission engineering. Opus Suite facilitates a through-life approach from the current early stages, and onwards through the program’s life cycle. The unanimous commitment to a data-driven approach and model-based decision support in the GCAP program will be a key element in the collaboration between the three prime contractors BAE Systems, Leonardo, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), as well as with the other key stakeholders.
