Aerospace and Defense: Adapting to Industry Transformation

Your partner in more than just compliance

For decades, DEKRA has partnered with aerospace and defense organizations worldwide. We deliver comprehensive services that ensure regulatory compliance, strengthen supply chains, enhance cybersecurity, and boost operational performance.

Our solutions serve the entire aerospace and defense value chain, from product developers and manufacturers to logistics and support service providers. Our global reach means we deliver consistent, high-quality solutions wherever your operations are located.

Navigating Today's Complex Industry Landscape

The aerospace and defense sector faces unprecedented challenges:
Market Pressures
  • Shifting political alliances and trade policies
  • Rising fuel and material costs
  • Increased competition from new market entrants
  • Limited access to capital
Regulations demanding low emission rates put pressure on developers and manufacturers to design and produce innovative products compliant with sustainable practices and policy guidelines. While manufacturers must come to grips with evolving environmental policies pushing for more fuel-efficient hybrid or electrical propulsion technologies, diverse regional, national and international regulatory statutes can lead to high developmental and certification spending for several partners providing various services throughout the aerospace and defense industry. Qualified technicians and engineers are in short supply, creating high demand and driving up labor costs, while consumer confidence wavers due to safety concerns and new competitors emerge.
