Executive Summary

Aerospace and defence (A&D) operations are undergoing a process of digital transformation, driven by decarbonization pressures and cost reduction goals, and the need to strengthen safety, readiness and value. This is accelerating the push for greater industrial agility across maintenance environments. Digital maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) software platforms are emerging as a core enabler of this shift, helping firms improve regulatory compliance, enhance operational readiness, extend asset lifetimes and deliver meaningful efficiency gains. As expectations around performance and accountability grow, digital MRO software has become an integral part of the technology roadmaps of major A&D organizations. Verdantix research highlights 10 vendors shaping the next generation of MRO software in 2026. Maintenance, engineering and operations leaders in A&D should use this report to deepen their understanding of the evolving MRO software landscape, assess market direction, and identify platforms that support their broader industrial agility and digital transformation ambitions.
