The current U.S. Air Force (USAF) inventory includes over 42 types and hundreds of variants of aircraft, from the F-15 Eagle fighter to Air Force One, to many other search, rescue, combat and observation aircraft, as well as ground support equipment, simulators, trainers, pods, electronic gear and other components. USAF uses an enterprise data warehouse from Teradata to track millions of aircraft parts at 82 major bases worldwide, log every mission and schedule and record maintenance and perform 70 million-plus updates each month in near-real time.
Today with state-of-the-art data integration, USAF can quickly and confidently make accurate decisions that have the potential to affect countless lives. This gives commanders the strategic ability to know what's available to deploy, allowing them to make more rapid decisions.
