Overview

Rising global opportunities and rapidly increasing costs have forced the Aerospace companies to look towards emerging economics for sustaining growths. Today, concerns for Aerospace companies are not only saving costs and optimizing business processes but also building a stable platform for sustainable innovation and growth – which is based on internal transformation and a synergistic global partner ecosystem. Faced with a combination of challenges and opportunities, leading Aerospace companies are re-evaluating their engineering and business processes. Time-to-market is a key consideration and delays in delivering aircraft result in huge losses for manufacturers and their suppliers.

In HCL, our Aerospace practice today has evolved its services to help Aerospace companies reduce the risk of product development for new aircraft programs, through risk reward sharing models and value-based partnerships. We have the largest 'dedicated' Aerospace wing for an Indian outsourced services provider, which shows our commitment to the industry. Our service areas in this domain extend to avionics development, engineering services, manufacturing and PLM, and IT consolidation. Having worked on more than 30 fixed and rotor winged aircrafts – we have unparalleled expertise across Aerospace sub-domains.

Our Aerospace practice has experienced an explosive growth in its core avionics skills and ability to run complex and large programs over a period of last five years. The services offered by this practice encompasses embedded software, hardware design, engineering services, test equipments/rigs and applications development. Practitioners combining over 7000 person years of experience in avionics specific programming languages, methodologies, tools, operating systems, compilers and standards support the practice.

We are now getting complete outsourcing assignments of independent development of core avionics subsystems. We are the first Indian IT solutions provider for Aerospace industry to obtain AS 9100 certification which is a testimony to the quality and domain expertise. Our dedicated team of 2000+ domain trained professionals has successfully executed 400+ projects across various sub-domains, as a result of which we have been able to establish our Aerospace domain focus and capability to serve client across the entire value chain namely, prime contractors, system suppliers, equipment suppliers, component suppliers and material suppliers. We have invested in Aerospace specific quality certifications and methodologies and have proven ability to run complex and critical programs with top companies in the Aerospace industry.

Over the past five years our Aerospace practice has matured from providing traditionally outsourced services like verification and validation, to complex and critical product engineering in core avionics. We offer product engineering services as well as IT services including industry specific custom applications, enterprise application services, infrastructure management services, and BPO.
