Military Defense
Military and defense organizations operate under strict performance, safety, and readiness requirements. Whether managing military bases, defense logistics, aerospace fleets, or complex weapons systems, the pressure to ensure uptime, asset longevity, and security is paramount.

IBM’s Maximo Application Suite (MAS) provides a robust, secure, and intelligent asset management platform designed to meet the mission-critical demands of defense operations. With real-time asset health insights, advanced maintenance planning, and secure mobile capabilities, Maximo enables defense organizations to optimize operations, reduce costs, and maintain maximum operational readiness.
Maximo Application Suite
Aircraft, ground vehicles, radar systems, and weapons platforms must be ready to deploy at all times — failure is not an option.
Asset Health Monitoring (Maximo Health)
Tracks real-time conditions and health scores for vehicles, aircraft, and field systems.
Predictive Maintenance (Maximo Predict)
Uses historical and sensor data to forecast failures and optimize maintenance intervals.
Lifecycle Management
Supports performance tracking across the full asset lifecycle, from commissioning to decommissioning.
Defense equipment requires detailed, scheduled, and condition-based MRO to comply with safety and airworthiness standards.
Advanced Work Planning
Supports long-term MRO cycles, inspections, and part replacements with version-controlled procedures.
Maintenance Records & Audit Trails
Captures detailed work history, parts usage, technician certifications, and compliance evidence.
Configuration Management
Tracks assemblies, subassemblies, and modifications to maintain up-to-date digital records of each asset.
Defense operations are subject to highly regulated environments (e.g., ITAR, NIST, DoD standards).
Secure, On-Premise & Air-Gapped Options
Supports deployment in secure environments with full data control.
Compliance Modules
Automates inspections, document management, and safety audits for regulatory and internal compliance.
Permit-to-Work & Hazard Mitigation Tools
Ensures safety protocols are followed across hazardous zones and maintenance environments.
Defense organizations often rely on a mix of in-house teams, contractors, and vendors — all requiring strict oversight and coordination.
Workforce & Labor Management
Assigns tasks based on skills, certifications, availability, and mission-criticality.
Mobile Capabilities
Enables technicians to access and update tasks in the field or on base — even without connectivity.
Contractor Oversight
Tracks performance, safety compliance, and contract KPIs.
Military fleets and facilities are globally distributed, each requiring localized but centralized management.
Fleet Maintenance Management
Centralizes service data for air, sea, and land fleets while allowing site-specific customization.
Multi-Site Support
Offers a scalable, centralized system for bases across regions or nations.
GIS & IoT Integration
Provides visibility into mobile and fixed assets, environmental conditions, and mission readiness metrics.
A grounded aircraft, faulty radar, or broken logistics system can delay operations and compromise missions.
Condition-Based Monitoring
Triggers alerts and interventions before failures escalate.
Failure Analytics & Root Cause Analysis
Identifies trends and system vulnerabilities to improve long-term resilience.
Critical Asset Prioritization
Automatically escalates work for high-priority systems linked to mission readiness.
Defense infrastructure and fleets require decades-long planning cycles for modernization and replacement.
Capital Asset Planning Tools
Tracks asset performance and usage to inform modernization or overhaul investments.
Project Integration
Supports budgeting, scheduling, and performance tracking of major upgrades or base expansions.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Uses historical and predictive analytics to prioritize investments for mission-critical outcomes.
Military supply chains must support global missions with secure, traceable, and timely asset movements.
Integrated Procurement & Logistics
Links suppliers, inventory, and demand planning into a unified system.
Supply Chain Risk Insights
Provides visibility into lead times, bottlenecks, and logistics status.
Vendor & Contract Management
Ensures suppliers meet security, compliance, and delivery requirements.
