The Royal Netherlands Air Force is a modern, high-tech armed forces Service that contributes to peace and security on a global basis. For this purpose, it has highly-qualified personnel, aircraft, helicopters and other weapon systems at its disposal.
The case study will focus on the optimization of the maintenance concept of existing and possible new assets within the RNLAF operations and maintenance organization. The asset of focus will be the Cougar helicopter of which a more flexible use and maintenance is desired in the foreseen future. This will demand one or more smart maintenance solutions.
