Automation for Aerospace and Defense Quality
Workflow and AI automation for AS9100 manufacturers and suppliers: first article inspection, configuration and change control, supplier certifications, with controlled data kept where it belongs.
Workflow and AI automation for AS9100 manufacturers and suppliers: first article inspection, configuration and change control, supplier certifications, with controlled data kept where it belongs.
Every new part, revision and supplier adds forms, certifications and records that someone assembles by hand.
AS9102 forms built by hand from drawings, inspection results and material certs, again for every partial FAI after a change.
A drawing revision has to reach routers, inspection plans, suppliers and FAI records. Missing one becomes a finding.
ITAR, EAR and CUI data can't go to just any AI service, so many teams avoid automation altogether.
Your quality people sign off. Automation assembles, checks and flags.
Forms 1, 2 and 3 assembled from data you already hold, with gaps flagged before the inspector signs.
When a drawing changes, a draft list of affected routers, plans, suppliers and FAIs for the change owner to confirm.
Material and special-process certificates read, checked against requirements and flagged when an approval or accreditation is missing.
Intake, triage and linking of nonconformances, escapes and customer complaints. The owner decides.
Traceability, inspection and FOD records gathered so evidence is ready for audits and customers.
Registrar and customer audit evidence pulled from your systems instead of assembled by hand.
Your export compliance and security teams set the boundary. We build inside it.
Which records are ITAR, EAR, CUI or customer proprietary, and which environments are approved for each.
Access control, audit trails, approved hosting, and human review of every acceptance and disposition decision.
Testing and records proportionate to risk, ready for your quality team and registrar.
Workflows, prompts and models change only through your configuration and change control.
| Standard | What it means for automation |
|---|---|
| AS9100D (EN 9100:2018) | Quality system for aviation, space and defense, adding configuration management, product safety and counterfeit parts prevention. Successor IA9100 is expected in late 2026 or early 2027. |
| AS9102 | First article inspection: documented proof the first production part matches the design, repeated after relevant changes. |
| AS9145 | APQP and PPAP requirements for aviation, space and defense. |
| AS9110 and AS9120 | Quality system standards for maintenance organizations and for distributors. |
| NADCAP | Accreditation for special processes such as heat treating, chemical processing and nondestructive testing. |
| ITAR and EAR | US export controls on defense and dual-use technical data: who may access it and where it may be stored or processed. |
| CMMC and DFARS | Cybersecurity requirements for Defense Department suppliers handling CUI, phased into contracts since 10 November 2025. |
We design automation so export-controlled data and CUI stay inside environments approved for them, and out of public AI tools.

This page is general information, not regulatory, export control or legal advice.
Yes, by assembling. It can pull characteristics from drawings, inspection results and material certifications into the AS9102 forms and flag what is missing. The FAI sign-off stays with your people.
Only in environments approved for that data. We design so controlled data stays inside those boundaries, with your export compliance and security teams setting the rules.
If your automation stores, processes or transmits CUI, those systems fall inside your CMMC assessment scope, so where they run and who can access them matters.
The planned successor to AS9100, from the International Aerospace Quality Group. It is expected to publish in late 2026 or early 2027, followed by a transition period.
