Aerospace and defense programs are becoming more complex, longer‑lived and more tightly regulated, pushing traditional, document‑centric PLM systems beyond their limits. Fragmented tools, legacy architectures and disconnected data make it increasingly difficult to maintain traceability, manage configuration changes and support certification across decades‑long lifecycles.

This whitepaper examines how next‑generation PLM, enabled by cloud‑native platforms, digital threads, model‑based engineering and AI‑driven intelligence, is redefining the role of PLM in aerospace and defense. It outlines why modernization is essential, how integrated PLM ecosystems unify requirements, engineering, manufacturing and sustainment, and what practical steps organizations can take to improve development speed, compliance readiness and lifecycle value while supporting mission‑critical outcomes.
