The challenge
Modern aerospace missions require logistics to operate as an integrated, real-time capability rather than a back-office function. Fragmented systems, siloed data and manual reconciliation create delays, blind spots and reduced aircraft availability.

Our solution
OptaLog by HENSOLDT is a platform-independent, ERP-agnostic logistics orchestration layer designed for aircraft and mission operations. It creates end-to-end visibility across supply chains, inventories and maintenance workflows, harmonising maintenance and supply concepts for mixed fleets (rotary-wing, fixed-wing, unmanned). Acting as an integration layer, OptaLog connects existing ERP solutions (e.g., SAP-based SASPF), national logistics systems and legacy maintenance databases without replacing them, synchronising data flows and minimising manual effort. Within the OPTARION ecosystem, OptaLog links to OptaMission, OptaFEP and OptaTOC to close the operational loop where mission demand drives logistics and real-time logistics status influences execution. Built on Software-Defined Defence principles, OptaLog offers modularity and scalability for multinational and civil–military operations, enabling predictive logistics through demand forecasting, dynamic inventory optimisation and scenario-based planning.

Features

• Unified operational view across fragmented supply chains, inventories and maintenance
• Cross-platform coordination for rotary‑wing, fixed‑wing, unmanned systems and mixed fleets
• ERP-agnostic integration with SAP-based systems (e.g., SASPF), national logistics and legacy systems
• Real-time synchronization between logistics status and operational demand
• End-to-end visibility and harmonization of maintenance and supply concepts
• Integration within the OPTARION ecosystem linking OptaMission, OptaFEP and OptaTOC
• Predictive logistics capabilities: demand forecasting, dynamic inventory optimization, bottleneck identification, scenario-based planning
• Continuous logistics execution with real-time updates and automated stakeholder synchronization
• Modular, scalable architecture based on Software-Defined Defence principles
• Support for multinational operations and civil–military cooperation
• Coordination of spare parts, personnel and maintenance across multiple locations in real time

Benefits

• Transforms fragmented logistics into a continuous, mission-driven operational flow
• Enables interoperability without dependency on specific platforms or ERP systems
• Reduces manual reconciliation and accelerates alignment between planning and execution
• Integrates logistics as a real-time parameter in operational decision-making
• Shifts logistics from reactive to predictive, reducing downtime and increasing fleet readiness
