<P>For an industry that relies on precision engineering, aerospace does not have a great reputation when it comes to getting the right replacement part quickly to a customer who needs it urgently. Stories abound of aircraft grounded for days for want of a widget, as inefficient distribution operations struggle to send it from A to B.</P> <P><IMG height=301 alt="AB Oct 05-Delta_Big" hspace=6 src="../assets/getAsset.aspx?ItemID=9839" width=200 align=left></P> <P>But that is changing, as aerospace manufacturers abandon methods that have served the sector for decades and adopt a more novel approach adapted from the automotive, medical and grocery retailing industries.</P> <P>Raytheon Aircraft’s vice-president customer service and support, Ed Dolanski, came to the company from US retailing giant Wal-Mart in 2001 and has revolutionised its parts distribution operation, drawing heavily on his experience in supplying a nationwide chain of stores and introducing a “retail-based logistics andhttp://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/LEAN-LESSONS-203492/News | 19 Sep 2005 23:00
<P>The UK’s first Sentinel R1 airborne stand-off radar (ASTOR) aircraft was expected to conduct the first image-gathering flight using its synthetic-aperture radar/ground moving target indication (SAR/GMTI) sensor last week. </P> <P>Taking place from Greenville, Texas, the milestone flight was due to occur a week after prime contractor Raytheon Systems (RSL) delivered the battlefield surveillance system’s first of eight vehicle-housed ground stations.</P> <P>Raytheon finished work on a ground-test radar early this year and recently completed acceptance trials of a second active-array sensor delivered in June for use in the flight-test activities using the programme’s first of five modified Bombardier Global Express business jets. </P> <P>The first data-gathering flight will be followed by sorties every two to three days, with the ground-test radar used to support system analysis work, says Raytheon. The company expects to release its first SAR and GMTI imagery from the sensor by earhttp://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/UKs-Sentinel-R1-ASTOR-aircraft-makes-first-data-gathering-flight-201618/
