Bombardier contract for Tech Mahindra

India's fifth largest software services firm Tech Mahindra on Monday said it has bagged a contract from Bombardier to develop an aircraft ground support system (AGSS). Under the agreement, Tech Mahindra will develop the AGSS for Bombardier's Aircraft Health Management System (AHMS) for the C Series family of aircraft, a statement said.

The financial details were not disclosed. The AGSS will facilitate real-time and post-flight recorded data management, fault notification and diagnostic reporting. By leveraging <g data-gr-id="20">the large amount</g> of data recorded and transmitted from C Series aircraft, the AHMS will allow operators to make sound decisions on aircraft performance and maintenance.

"We are excited to be working with Bombardier and contributing to the AHMS for the C Series aircraft. Our digital tools will support efficient analysis of the <g data-gr-id="19">data,</g> so that it can be quickly captured and shared with operators," Tech Mahindra Head of North America Lakshmanan Chidambaram said. Rob Dewar, Vice President (C Series Program) at Bombardier Commercial Aircraft said the AHMS will help operators manage their activities, resulting in superior dispatch reliability.
