Case Study: a leading defence company improves submarine platform design with Expleo's systems engineering

Providing cutting-edge Systems Engineering capabilities to a leading defence client

Expleo partnered with a leading defence company that was struggling with a lack of internal resources and the complexities of managing a new submarine platform's design. The client's traditional paper-based systems made it difficult to visualize the complex network of systems, provide traceability, and avoid errors, all while facing industry-wide skill shortages.

Expleo provided systems engineering expertise, creating a detailed digital model of the platform using a COTS EA tool. This model provided a single source of truth, enabling better design decision-making and early identification of issues. As a result, the client made critical design changes 12-18 months earlier, leading to significant time and cost savings, a major reduction in manual errors, and the breakdown of internal organizational siloes through improved agile practices.
