The defense and armaments industry combines the highest security requirements with continuous technological development. Modern software solutions must be reliable, tamper-proof and interoperable in order to meet the increasing requirements. At the same time, clear processes and regulatory requirements ensure quality and traceability – but they must be designed efficiently so as not to stifle innovation.
The key to success lies in a well thought-out balance between security, speed and long-term maintainability. Those who modernize their development processes, further develop existing systems in a targeted manner and integrate the highest IT security standards will remain competitive even in a dynamic environment.
Fleckner + Simon supports companies in the defence industry with intelligent process design, targeted modernization and well thought-out cyber security concepts in order to bring new technologies into operation efficiently, securely and sustainably.
Challenges
1. Accelerate development with quality
Defense software is often highly complex and safety-critical. In order to meet the high quality requirements, many companies rely on structured development processes according to the V-model or comparable standards. Efficient methods and powerful toolchains are needed to ensure that innovations are driven forward quickly despite these necessary structures.
Fleckner + Simon helps companies to optimize their development processes and shorten time-to-deployment without compromising on security or quality.
With our measures, development times can be organized efficiently without compromising quality and compliance – a clear advantage for companies that need to react flexibly and quickly to new requirements.
Our services
Our solutions include:
Automation of test and validation processes to shorten development cycles,
Modular upgrade strategies that enable step-by-step customization,
Secure interface solutions to make legacy systems compatible with modern architectures.
Challenges
2. Make legacy systems fit for the future
Many existing systems in the defense industry are technologically mature and proven, but need to be gradually adapted to modern requirements. Instead of relying on cost-intensive new developments, an approach that preserves tried-and-tested structures and adds new technologies in a targeted manner is ideal.
Fleckner + Simon supports companies in making their existing IT and software systems fit for the future without jeopardizing their operations.
The approach of our solutions ensures that companies can continue to rely on their established systems while making the most of new technological opportunities.
