Integrated product support
By integrating support measures during the design phase of your systems, you can ensure operational reliability with minimal disruption. Integrated Product Support (IPS) is a structured approach to prevent issues before they arise, maximising readiness and lifecycle performance.

Integrated Product Support (IPS), which has evolved from Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), is a strategic approach that embeds supportability considerations - such as maintenance, logistics, and training - into the early design and development stages of systems. By doing so, it enhances operational availability, reduces lifecycle costs, and improves mission readiness.
While IPS is widely adopted in the defence sector, particularly for land, sea, and air platforms, its principles are increasingly applied across other complex systems requiring long-term support.
Read more below what IPS includes.
In the defence sector, system availability and reliability are mission critical. A significant portion of these factors is determined during the design and development phase. IPS makes sure that supportability is built into the system from the outset, not added as an afterthought.
By integrating IPS early in the design process, defence organisations can minimise unplanned maintenance, reduce through-life costs, and make sure systems remain operational and deployable when needed. This approach enhances readiness, extends asset longevity, and delivers better value over the system’s lifecycle. It maximises mission readiness in even the most demanding environments.
Through our IPS approach, defence systems benefit from a tailored, proactive support strategy that maintains optimal performance throughout the lifecycle. This includes planned upgrades, maintenance scheduling, training, spare parts management, and high-quality technical documentation.
We work closely with defence stakeholders to align support solutions with operational requirements. Our expertise spans multiple domains and includes compliance with key industry standards, such as S1000D, for technical publications - ensuring interoperability, consistency, and ease of information access across platforms and partners.

Integrated Product Support includes
IPS Management
We help you drive projects, including planning the different roles in your project team and the development of the support system within the project.
Learning solutions
We determine users’ training requirements and the best way to meet them.
Technical documentation
We develop system descriptions, operating information, diagnostic data/information and software information.
Reliability and maintainability
We help you identify when parts/sub-systems fail and how to handle those situations.
Lifecycle support analysis
We integrate and apply key performance indicators (quantitative and qualitative) to ensure IPS requirements are considered throughout the lifecycle.
Spare parts information including Illustrated Parts Catalogues (IPC)
We help you break down system and sub-systems into codified part lists.
