Lifecycle Enhanced Asset Decision Software
MaxUp® LEADS
Delivering Readiness Through Holistic Resource Analysis
The Problem:
Concurrent with maximising readiness in today’s high-operational tempo environment, Military Aviation must control the rising operating and sustainment costs of ageing aircraft and legacy equipment. Unplanned delays in replacement aircraft and higher-than-projected utilisation rates have forced life extensions/equipment upgrades for most military legacy aircraft. Determining how to recapitalise the fleet while keeping ageing aircraft flying requires detailed insight and sound risk-based assessment to meet mission requirements. The inability to perform accurate, simulation-based, multi-variant, probabilistic decision analysis to support effective management of assets in an ad hoc, near real-time environment endangers sound fiscal stewardship and mission accomplishment.
The Solution:
Lone Star’s award-winning solution MaxUp® LEADS, a MaxUp® Readiness Solution, provides holistic fleet inventory management solutions that analyse scheduled maintenance, capability upgrades, and operational utilisation planning through the lifecycle of each asset and enable decision-making that maximises the return on investment and readiness of each asset. MaxUp® LEADS enables cause and effect analytics, providing accurate forecasting based on client-defined what-if scenarios. The user interfaces and data consolidation functions make what-if analysis approachable, producing a comprehensive real-time view of risk and opportunity.
Tailored to Environment
- Apply Lone Star’s exceptional knowledge base and experience in Defence Aerospace to model the client’s unique environment
- Utilise client-provided historical aircraft data to produce a holistic aircraft inventory baseline
