The U.S. Air Force has selected Siemens’ Teamcenter software as its foundational system of record to support its digital acquisition and sustainment strategy for critical systems and technologies. The selection of Teamcenter as the Air Force enterprise standard follows a 2019 indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for $24.6 million to Siemens for licensing, maintenance and support. Teamcenter, part of Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Xcelerator portfolio, is a modern, open and adaptable product lifecycle management (PLM) solution that connects people and processes across functional silos by providing a digital thread for innovation. Leveraging the Xcelerator portfolio of software, services and application development platforms gives the Department of Defense and the aerospace and defense industry the ability to integrate disparate repositories of program data and effectively share product performance details at any time, from any location.
