Dassault software powers Australian guided weapons program

The Australian Missile Corporation chose 3D design software from French firm Dassault Systèmes. This software supports Australia's multi-billion-dollar guided weapons engineering.

The software will support the Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise program. The software includes Catia and Solidworks applications and will work with AMC's secure, on-site engineering setting.

The software gives teams one shared digital model. Teams use it to manage requirements and test designs.

They check designs before production. Engineers can see how a changed requirement flows through designs.

The change also flows to suppliers. AMC chief executive Matt Gibson said the corporation builds its work around a digital-first approach.

This supports Australia's own weapons ability.
