Obsolescence management and procurement solutions for defence
From flight deck to battlefield, we deliver innovative solutions that reduce supply-chain complexity and enhanced sustainability to keep your mission-critical operations on track.
Overcoming your obsolescence challenges
A complete defence solution
Defence equipment plays a vital role in keeping people worldwide safe and secure. While mechanical and electrical defence systems are built to last, internal parts and components have a much shorter operational life, which can significantly impact service lifecycles and efficiency.
A proactive approach to procurement and obsolescence management is essential for keeping your legacy, new build equipment and hardware working as it should.
CMCA(UK)’s innovative, tailored and cost-effective approach to all your obsolescence management and procurement requirements ensures continuous, on-demand access to vital components for the long-term sustainability of your critical equipment and machinery. We can help with your end-to-end procurement, storage, transportation, delivery and training needs to help reduce your costs, streamline your operations and achieve meaningful process efficiencies.
