We support 1,000 military aircraft and 2,150 Falcon business jets in 90 countries. We work closely with our customers, both civil and military, to offer innovative solutions that combine efficiency, responsiveness and cost‑effectiveness. We provide them with support, on an ongoing basis, today and far into the future, by maintaining the tools and expertise needed to service our planes over the decades of their operating lives.
The 3DExperience platform ensures digital continuity from design right through to manufacturing and maintenance. Our support solutions are based on software modules common to both Falcon and military aircraft.
Our approach, which harnesses big data and AI, is based on the analysis of both individual aircraft and fleet operational data. It enables transversal studies to be carried out and predictive maintenance models to be developed. The digital twin approach, which compares the aircraft’s actual performance to that of its digital model, further increases our forecasting capabilities, thus improving aircraft availability.
Our optimized military fleet support solutions provide both autonomy and high levels of aircraft availability.
In France, most of our aircraft are covered by long‑term, fixed‑price support contracts. Examples in France include the Ravel contract for the Rafale (signed in 2019), the Océan contract for the ATL2 (2020), the Balzac contract for the Mirage 2000 (2021) and the Alpha Care contract for the Alpha Jet (2023). Similar long‑term, fixed‑price contracts are also available to our export customers.
We provide top‑quality training for pilots and maintenance technicians, at our Conversion Training Center (CTC) in Mérignac. We also provide certain export customers with aeronautical training courses via the Dassault Skill Academy.
