Supply chain partners across Land, Air & Sea Defence Industries
Defence and aerospace is a complex, from armoured land vehicles and naval vessels to military aircraft and satellite systems, these platforms rely on electronic components and parts that can't fail.
Our partners in land, air and sea environments are seeing significant challenges from platform lifecycles, operating conditions, reliability and performance requirements, which means that supply chain components need to be verified, traceable and fit for purpose.
At Princeps we support partners across all three sectors with:
- Supply chain management
- Guaranteed traceable parts
- In-house component testing
- Obsolescence management
- Component sourcing
- Reporting
- Counterfeit mitigation
- Supply chain documentation
Accreditations and compliance
Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017, AS9120B: 2016 and AS6081 certifications demonstrate our commitment to standards and understanding the sectors challenges and requirements.
Land, Air and Sea partners tend to operate across long lifecycles, which can lead to procurement challenges, coupled with sustainability considerations. Well considered obsolescence management is essential as is proactive component monitoring, BOM strategies, risk mitigation and making sure there is supply chain resilience.
