Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is an independent, nonprofit applied research and development organization supporting government and industry with advanced engineering, sustainment modernization, and digital transformation solutions. SwRI specializes in bridging legacy sustainment environments with modern digital engineering capabilities to improve readiness, lifecycle management, and decision-making across defense platforms.
Leveraging expertise in aircraft structural integrity, damage tolerance analysis, digital thread architectures, predictive sustainment, and enterprise data integration, SwRI helps organizations transform fragmented sustainment data into actionable engineering knowledge.
Digital Sustainment & Engineering Services
Problem Statement:
Modern sustainment organizations face growing challenges caused by fragmented engineering, maintenance, inspection, and operational data distributed across disparate systems, limiting visibility into the true configuration, condition, and structural history of critical assets. These challenges are further compounded by aging fleets operating in harsh environments where corrosion, material degradation, and fatigue damage significantly impact readiness, availability, and lifecycle cost.
Technology Solution Statement:
Deliver integrated digital engineering and sustainment solutions that connect fragmented maintenance, inspection, engineering, and operational data into a unified digital environment. SwRI’s capabilities include corrosion tracking and mapping, reverse engineering, predictive maintenance enablement, digital inspection workflows, advanced analytics, and systems integration designed to improve asset visibility, engineering traceability, proactive maintenance planning, and lifecycle decision-making across aging and complex platforms.
Benefits Statement:
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) helps organizations improve readiness, reduce lifecycle cost, and enhance long-term asset reliability through integrated digital engineering, sustainment modernization, corrosion management, nondestructive evaluation (NDE), reverse engineering, and predictive maintenance enablement. By combining multidisciplinary engineering expertise with advanced analytics and digital workflows, SwRI enables improved fleet visibility, proactive maintenance planning, enhanced engineering traceability, and more informed sustainment decision-making across aging and complex systems.
