How Can DevSecOps Transform Aerospace
and Defense System Development?

In an era where the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry grapples with complex challenges—from stringent regulatory demands to the pressure of rapid innovation—this white paper explores the transformative potential of a DevSecOps approach. Our white paper explores how integrated hardware/software system development meets the industry’s demand for rigorous reliability and performance standards. Drawing on real-world insights from Benchmark, we share strategies to enhance cross-team collaboration, streamline the transition from concept to production, and ensure exceptional system quality and performance.

In this white paper, you'll learn:

• The unique challenges faced by the A&D industry and how DevSecOps provides a viable solution.
• Strategies to bridge the gap between custom hardware development and software integration, ensuring seamless system performance.
• Ways to implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and Agile Project Management, enhancing team collaboration and operational efficiency.
• Examples of real-world successful DevSecOps implementation, including the development of custom sensors and computing platforms for defense applications, highlighting the benefits of early and frequent integration testing.
