4. The early 1970s CAD was surface modelling and interrogation Each company had its own mathematicians Each company had its own proprietary surface format Growing demand for interoperability to support cross company projects Initial international collaboration European aerospace industry produced a standard specification for exchanging surface geometry in 1976 Interrogation of surfaces held in proprietary systems TornadoConcorde

5. The late 1970s Computer Aid Drafting and early solid modelling Many different systems in use Separate CAM tools for numerical control Growing demand for interoperability for collaborative projects Growing costs of point-to-point translators Initial Graphics Exchange Specification Extending the scope to meet aerospace and automotive needs

6. Into the 1980s Drive to exploit digital information More sophisticated tool sets for Computer Aided Design More complete modelling and product definition Deeper penetration into the design process Links to manufacturing with early CAM systems Recognition of value of global standard for exchange of product data Global supply chain Development of ISO 10303 STEP launched July 1984 Complexity of requirement underestimated! Need to support multiple views for different parts of the business Need to support product structures – company proprietary systems

7. The 1990s CAD includes product structures Ubiquitous use of CAD tools for design New manufacturing processes – composites Routine use of CAD data and models for manufacturing Exchange of information with partners now fundamental to the business First successful uses of STEP standard for drafting, 3D CAD and product structure exchange Real business benefits demonstrated on Eurofighter programme

8. Into the new century Even greater distribution of design across organizations More information gathered in design models – PMI, materials More sophisticated analysis tools – FEA, CFD, thermal analysis Requirement to deliver innovative through-life support solutions Electronic libraries for standard parts Extension of STEP to include support of the product life cycle Modular STEP Application Protocols to facilitate interoperability PLCS tracking product structure and configuration through life, plus other associated information Integration of information requirements from many standards Part libraries – product characteristics – used by ISO and IEC

10. Up to date Requirement to manage design and product information throughout the product lifecycle Requirement to refresh Engineering IT systems to improve capability Recognition of challenges of long term data retention Customer demand for standards-based solutions Product data delivery NATO codification process Need to support broader consumption of digital data Better integration of standards Simpler implementation using newer technologies LOTAR standards for archiving 3D visualisation data standards

13. The Role of Standards Information standards can be applied to deliver interoperability across the manufacturing and service industries along the global supply network from supplier to consumer throughout the lifecycle of products - may be decades Avoid the costs of maintaining point-to-point solutions through changes in organisations application software hardware Need to be ready for use in time for widespread deployment of related applications 13

22. Where next? Continuing drive for integrated through-life information Multi-dimensional analysis and optimisation Managing the data explosion More sophisticated product manufacturing information Support for additive manufacture – including add/subtract New deployment technologies – Business Object Models Better integration with transactional standards “Internet of Things” What else? Protecting investment in information

23. BAE Systems strategy Encourage the business to identify its information requirements Engage with standards bodies/consortia to ensure the availability of the standards that we need to support the business Invest effort where necessary Engage with vendors to ensure the availability of compliant software Engage with trade associations to get common guidelines for using standards to support interoperability AIA in the US ASD in Europe
