Présentation
A high-level training starting in September 2025 for managers looking for an in-depth understanding of the current processes, methods, and challenges involved in maintaining state aircraft in operational condition.
Objectifs
Maintaining state aircraft in operational condition is a major challenge for the eight French employment authorities (the French Air Force and Space Force, the French Navy, the French Army, the French Gendarmerie, the Directorate General for Civil Security, the Directorate General for Customs and Excise, and the Directorate General for Armaments, National Police). The search for maximum availability of aircraft, using methods known as operational excellence in an environment requiring a high level of aeronautical safety, calls on specific multi-field skills and knowledge. The French Air and Space Force Academy and ISAE-SUPAERO offer you Post-Master Degree in Aeronautics Operational sustainment for State Aircraft (AM Aero OpS SA). This high-level dual civil/military course is designed to train aeronautics operational sustainment managers who are aware of the challenges of a constantly changing digital environment, from the design phase of a support system to the management of a state fleet in a state operational environment.
Savoir-faire et compétences
Analysing the operation of a state aircraft and understanding the technical constraints specific to the military air environment;
Participating in the development and improvement of a support system for a fleet of state aircraft;
Assess risks and threats of maintenance operations on state aircraft environment for optimizing decision-making process.
Operating and supporting a fleet of state aircraft in a constrained and digital operational environment;
Implementing tools to optimize production management processes of state aircraft based on operational excellence;
Understanding the specific challenges of maintaining operational readiness during a high-intensity conflict.
