Several years ago, Perforce published its first survey report for the aerospace and defense industry to align with the Defense Innovation Board (DIB)’s Software Acquisition and Practices (SWAP) report. The SWAP report explained that it was imperative for software development to transition to a modern DevOps approach, or else be a “leading source of risk to DoD.”
With rapid changes in the industry, updated standards, and evolving technology, we revisited this report to see how responses might have changed, surveying 150 aerospace and defense professionals from across the globe. Their responses revealed the challenges, technologies, and strategies development teams are focusing on in 2025 and beyond to improve DevOps for aerospace and defense applications.
In this webinar, Senior Sales Engineer at Perforce, Gordon Saladino, will discuss notable findings and comparisons between 2020 and 2025. He will explain about key takeaways from the survey report, including:
- Safety has overtaken security as the #1 overall concern in aerospace and defense, highlighting the complexity of standards compliance.
- Security is still a leading concern, however, with most respondents concerned with unauthorized access to onboard/offboard systems.
- Nearly half of aerospace and defense software pros have been most impacted by the global economy — and in the U.S., many are concerned about reductions in the federal workforce.
- Over half of aerospace developers are now using AI in their product design.
- A majority of respondents are required to comply with standards due to a government customer requirement.
- Why DevOps and DevSecOps tools and best practices are more important now than ever.
- Which tools help teams keep software quality high for mission-critical aerospace and defense applications.
