Challenges in Modern Aerospace Programs

Aerospace Estimation That Meets the Mission

Aerospace programs face rising costs, long development timelines, and unstable global procurement. Galorath helps teams respond faster with estimates that are traceable, risk-aware, and ready for review.

Galorath’s SEER® and SEERai™ work together to deliver AI-powered, model-based forecasting across design, labor, cost, and schedule. Teams gain faster insight, structured logic, and outputs that support compliance and planning precision.

How SEER Drives Success in Aerospace

Galorath provides integrated solutions for aerospace cost, schedule, and risk estimation across the full program lifecycle. With SEERai, teams interact naturally with models, simulate scenarios faster, and unlock insights previously trapped in expert memory or disconnected spreadsheets.

Hardware Development

Delivers traceable cost modeling from concept through sustainment.

Space Systems

Supports end-to-end estimation for satellites, spacecraft, and launch vehicles.

Manufacturing

Identifies cost drivers early to improve design-for-cost decisions.

IT Infrastructure

Models IT, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure costs within aerospace programs.

Who Benefits from SEER in Aerospace? 

  • Engineers and Designers: Evaluate tradeoffs and optimize designs with real-time cost insight.
  • Project Managers: Maintain alignment across teams with integrated schedule, labor, and risk logic.
  • Cost Estimators: Build, defend, and refine models that scale across programs and stakeholders.
  • Supply Chain Teams: Model should-cost outcomes, improve vendor negotiations, and align procurement with program goals.

By uniting cost, schedule, and risk insight in one transparent platform, aerospace teams keep programs on budget, on time, and mission ready.

Faster, Smarter Aerospace Planning

Key Benefits for Aerospace

Transparent Forecasting

Generate explainable, data-backed estimates that withstand technical & executive review. 

Risk Mitigation

Identify and model cost, schedule, and delivery risks before they become blockers. 

Operational Efficiency

Automate repetitive workflows, reduce cycle time, and improve resource planning. 

Implementing DFM practices benefits various roles within an organization

Implementing DFM practices benefits various roles within an organization:

  • Engineers & Designers: Develop products that are easier and more cost-effective to manufacture.
  • Project Managers: Ensure projects stay within budget and on schedule by anticipating manufacturing challenges early in the design phase.
  • Procurement Teams: Optimize supplier selection and material costs by understanding manufacturing requirements upfront.

By integrating DFM principles, these roles can collaborate more effectively to achieve streamlined production processes.
