Comprehensive life-cycle management for fighter jets and guided missiles

In order for air forces to be able to fulfill their security mission, they are reliant on a fleet of fighter jets that is always operational and on stand-by. Our life-cycle management guarantees the availability of fighter jets and guided missiles.

The operational readiness of fighter jets and the associated systems is the foundation of every successful mission.

Fighter Jets

In its function as the Swiss Air Force's materials center of excellence, RUAG was involved in both the F/A-18 Hornet and the F-5 Tiger from the evaluation phase onwards - from the procurement process through to the final assembly. Our comprehensive support of the two systems includes services for airframe, engine, subsystems and components as well as factory-operated flights. Our life-cycle management focuses on maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), upgrades and fleet management. We also develop, produce and maintain avionics systems and ground test equipment for the Tornado and Eurofighter 2000 fighter jets (link to section). In our function as OSTR (Overall System Technology Responsible) we bear the technical responsibility for the jet systems and their airworthiness.
