Rational aerospace and defense software solutions

The IBM Rational® aerospace and defense software solutions can help your organization to:

• Improve requirements engineering

• Manage complexity with model-driven systems development

• Manage change in a globally distributed environment with integrated product change management

• Improve your systems software delivery capabilities

Requirements engineering
IBM Rational requirements engineering solutions help you manage your customer, marketplace, and system requirements and understand how they flow down to software, mechanical, and electrical sub-systems.

Model-driven systems development 
Model-driven systems development can help you manage complexity, lower costs, and reduce time to market. Models help your team:

• Communicate more effectively

• Integrate and test products much earlier in the development life cycle

You can reduce costs and increase quality by catching errors earlier when they are much less expensive to fix.

Integrated product change management
Change originates from a variety of stakeholders throughout the product development life cycle. With IBM Rational integrated product change management solutions, you can:

• Manage change in the various disciplines—software, electronics, and mechanical

• Ensure strong collaboration

• Track the impact of change wherever and whenever it occurs

• Reduce the time it takes to propagate changes throughout the entire design team

• Increase the visibility of schedules, including the impact of requirement and product changes

Systems and software delivery platform
The IBM Rational systems and software delivery platform enables you to coordinate distributed teams to define, build, manage, test, and deliver innovative products and systems more quickly and effectively. Rational software provides comprehensive, integrated support across the systems development and delivery life cycle.
