BAE Systems Platform Solutions serves aerospace and defense end users and prime contractors with capabilities and products that improve operational safety and enhance mission effectiveness. Platform Solutions supports a wide range of military and commercial platforms, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, ground vehicles, and unmanned vehicles with capabilities in vehicle management, human-machine interface, precision guidance, and power systems. The sector also is developing integrated capabilities in all-weather operation, power management, real-time cockpit information, prognostics and health management, and air traffic management.
Platform Solutions is a trans-Atlantic enterprise, with more than 6,000 employees performing design, development, and production operations in the United States and United Kingdom. This structure offers wide-ranging capabilities to home markets in the U.S. and U.K. and a broad base for access to European and other world markets.
Platform Solutions’ offerings are grouped in these product lines, each spanning multiple platforms and customers:
Vehicle management — fly-by-wire controls, actuation control electronics, and autopilots that reduce pilot workload and enhance safety on fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft for both military and civil customers.
Power systems — full-authority digital controls for aircraft engines and hybrid electric propulsion systems for commercial and military applications.
Precision guidance — inertial sensors and measurement units that enable precision guidance and navigation on platforms from helicopters to missiles to automobiles.
Human-machine interface — pilot-centered systems, including head-up and helmet-mounted displays and pilot inceptors, that provide prioritized data at the right time and in the right format to optimize situational awareness and increase mission effectiveness.
Platform Solutions also offers the following integrated capabilities:
Day/night, all-weather operation — vehicle management, guidance, and mission information systems, integrated with human-machine interface capability to enable pilot visibility in dust, fog, rain, darkness, and other visibility-limiting conditions.
Power management — setting new standards in efficiency, flexibility, and reliability in the way mobile systems generate, distribute, and consume power.
Real-time cockpit information — combining projected data with real-time information to assist decision-making and provide mission solutions for maximum survivability and operational effectiveness.
Prognostics and health management — diagnostic and health management solutions that identify problems before they become expensive to remedy, enabling guaranteed levels of availability and reducing life-cycle costs.
Air traffic management — custom navigation, surveillance, and separation systems for efficient operations, gate to gate, in all weather and for all aircraft types.
