Excellence with passion
Aero OpS SA Advanced Master
A high-level training starting in September 2025 for managers looking for an in-depth understanding of the current processes, methods, and challenges involved in maintaining state aircraft in operational condition.
Objective of the program
Maintaining state aircraft in operational condition is a major challenge for the eight French employment authorities (the French Air Force and Space Force, the French Navy, the French Army, the French Gendarmerie, the Directorate General for Civil Security, the Directorate General for Customs and Excise, and the Directorate General for Armaments, National Police).
The search for maximum availability of aircraft, using methods known as operational excellence in an environment requiring a high level of aeronautical safety, calls on specific multi-field skills and knowledge.
The French Air and Space Force Academy and ISAE-SUPAERO offer you a Post-Master Degree in Aeronautics Operational sustainment for State Aircraft (AM Aero OpS SA). This high-level dual civil/military course is designed to train aeronautics operational sustainment managers who are aware of the challenges of a constantly changing digital environment, from the design phase of a support system to the management of a state fleet in a state operational environment.
Supported by prestigious organizations, companies and start-ups, this training course is based on the expertise of numerous professionals:
- Professors and researchers of the French Air and Space Force Academy;
- Researchers, engineers and operational executives from partnerships;
- Military experts of French armed forces;
- Experts from industrial partners.
They contribute to a dynamic program combining theoretical contributions, active and innovative teaching methods such as serious gaming, as well as on the completion of individual and group project carried out throughout the course. The training is supplemented by visits to aeronautical units of French armed forces and industrial sites.
