Paris Air Show, 15 June 2009 – OEM Defence Services is pleased to announce that the
company is now fully operational – one year after the agreement was signed by Diehl
Aerospace, Liebherr-Aerospace, Safran, Thales and Zodiac Aerospace.
OEM Defence Services, which was formally registered in France in October 2008, represents
an alliance of major European equipment manufacturers that provides integrated industrial
support solutions to meet the specific needs of national armed forces.
The OEM Defence Services offer is mainly based on an “Equipment Availability” model that
facilitates successful aircraft operations for end-users. This offer provides a consistent,
enduring and comprehensive cost effective Equipment Availability service aimed at optimal
aircraft fleet availability, which may be outsourced to a prime provider. This concept is
shifting logistic support risks to the equipment service supplier.
Backed by an efficient industrial base of shareholders and associated partners, OEM
Defence Services proposes a cooperative model that synergistically provides serviceoriented
activities. It covers on-site customer air base tasks, and management of the
complete supply chain, including transport and the management of stock and spares. This
organization brings further added value to customers through management of obsolescence
and risks that prevent accumulated risks and provide mitigation at each appropriate level.
While OEM Defence Services was initially designed to provide innovative support contracts
for a wide range of equipment and systems onboard the NH90 and Tiger helicopters and the
A400M military transport aircraft, the service offer and equipment availability commitment it
proposes matches Contractor Logistic Support requirements needed for other fleets in
service.
OEM Defence Services is an open structure, which can be joined by other OEMs and
partners aiming to provide support solutions for enhanced equipment availability. The service
offer has been marketed and promoted to state organizations in various European countries
and to the aircraft manufacturers. It has been well received in the context of military budget
constraints that are leading to new approaches in logistic support.
The contractual mode offered by OEM Defence Services drastically simplifies processes
from a customer point of view as it has made it possible to manage one contract that covers
a full range of equipment.
