Engineering Services in Aerospace and Defense

Engineering is a complex and expensive activity that has always been at the heart of the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry. But in recent years, it has become harder to bring the right engineering capabilities to bear in the right place at the right time, as the industry has faced up to mounting challenges ranging from talent shortages to offset requirements, and from cost pressures to an aging workforce.

Such trends have seen A&D companies across the world buy a growing range and volume of engineering services from external providers, as a way to gain cost-effective access to the skills and capacity they need. But to date, many questions about the industry’s sourcing of engineering services have remained unanswered.
