Boeing Vancouver develops aviation-operations software, including maintenance scheduling and planning. DND describes a C$48 million R&D commitment using modelling and machine learning to improve fleet-sustainment program management. This capability is defined by the documented Canadian engineering activity; it does not include divested Jeppesen, ForeFlight, AerData or OzRunways brands or claim measured fleet-cost reductions.
