Aerospace and Defense Project Management Software

Cora transforms project portfolio management (PPM) in aerospace and defense by delivering an enterprise-wide solution that integrates scheduling, cost management, resource allocation, and reporting—ensuring compliance, efficiency, and strategic alignment across all programs.

Project Management Software for Aerospace and Defense

Cora’s PPM software helps Aerospace and Defense companies streamline and simplify their program management, so everyone’s working in unison.

Strategic Workforce Planning

Move beyond headcount planning to strategic workforce planning aligned with long-term business objectives. Ensure the right mix of talent is available and deployed effectively to optimize performance, reduce project delays, and meet contract obligations. 

Bid Management Insights

Leverage historical program data and workforce insights to enhance bid strategies. Run what-if scenarios to assess capacity, align estimates with execution, and improve Probability of Win (PWin). Strengthen risk assessment and portfolio analysis to support negotiations and audit readiness. 

Financial Control against Contract Lines

Track, measure, and analyze actual costs against budgeted and planned expenditures with full Contract Line (whether CLIN, SLIN, or ELIN) visibility. Protect margins, enhance accountability, and improve cost control by integrating financial data from ERP systems for a real-time view of budgets, forecasts, and EACs. 

Integrated Master Scheduling

Establish a structured sequence of work aligned with program objectives. Manage milestones, events, and decision points while maintaining traceability to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Integrate subcontractor deliverables and organizational elements within a unified master schedule. 

Multi–year Investment Planning

Gain real-time visibility across projects, programs, and initiatives. Use scenario modeling to evaluate different portfolio configurations, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives. Optimize funding allocation and long-term resource planning for sustained program success. 

Earned Value Management

Apply industry-standard earned value techniques (EVTs) to measure performance. Use methods such as percent complete, milestones, LOE, weighted milestones, PERT, and apportioned effort to ensure objective progress tracking, compliance with DCMA standards, and improved decision-making.
