Supply Chain and Sustainment
Keep critical assets available before the mission needs them
The national security enterprise depends on a fragmented industrial base to keep fielded systems supplied and running. Legacy tracking and disconnected data hide sub-tier risks, sole-source dependencies, and foreign influence, resulting in systemic production delays, single points of failure, and critical weapon systems falling behind schedule.
Air’s Supply Chain and Sustainment Execution Center secures the supply chain behind fielded systems by surfacing risk while there is still time to act. By unifying the industrial base and supply network into a single, AI-native system, Air Enterprise Readiness platform keeps parts ready before they are needed and resolves shortfalls when they arise, so critical assets stay available in the quantities and timelines the mission demands.
Predictive Risk Mitigation
Stop threats before they disrupt operations by identifying risks early and simulating disruption scenarios against your real supply network
Strategic Sourcing
Stay flexible on cost and supply, never dependent on a single point of failure, with alternate suppliers and untapped manufacturing capacity surfaced for any part
Supportability Planning
Keep operations running as systems age, with macro-level demand forecasting aligned to the live health of every part
Uncover hidden risks before they affect delivery
Air connects supplier risk, production capacity, program health, sustainment demand, and execution workflows so leaders can see where supply resilience is constrained and where action is required.
Rapid Alternate Sourcing
Identify similar or interchangeable parts 98% faster to keep programs running through part shortages
Scaled Vendor Risk Reporting
Condense due diligence cycles from a year to two months, with 83% faster reporting and 6x more vendor assessments per year
Supply Network Optimization
Simulate supplier and manufacturing capacity against cost, schedule, and performance constraints to allocate resources where the program needs them most
Proven Impact:
Industrial Base Risk Management
Problem
The E-3 is the United States' primary airborne warning and control system. The E-3 Systems Program Office (SPO) identifies replacement parts for non-mission-capable aircraft by navigating multiple data systems, with one-week turnarounds even during high-tempo operations.
Solution
Air enables the E-3 program to maximize operational availability of existing aircraft and assets, surfacing replacement parts and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) inventory in minutes to compress mission-critical resolution from weeks to hours.
Impact
After deploying Air, the E-3 program saw immediate impact returning multiple aircraft to mission-ready status in 72 hours and doubling fleet readiness. The E-3 program now shares critical grounding parts across other Air Force platforms, sustaining U.S. airborne command advantage and the ability to detect and respond to threats.
99.6%
Reduction in parts identification time
Identifying replacement parts and suitable substitutes in minutes instead of days.
44%
Fleet readiness increased from 25%
Nearly doubling fleet readiness by accelerating part identification and sustainment coordination.
"Air has changed the way we look at sustainment. With Air's AI capabilities, we have been able to reduce analysis time and identify more high-risk parts and suitable subs for grounding and critical MICAPs."
