DaRT: Giving the MOD total visibility of Damage & Repair across fleets

Maintaining Defence equipment at peak readiness is critical, and historically damage reporting and repair visibility across platforms has been fragmented, manual, and inconsistent. Information is often buried in spreadsheets, siloed systems, legacy databases, or paper trails, making it difficult to monitor patterns of damage, prioritise repairs and ensure resources are directed where they are needed most.

DaRT (Damage and Repair Tracker) has solved this

Originally developed to support the evolving needs of the Typhoon team, DaRT provides a centralised digital environment where users can record, track and manage fleet-wide damage and repair activity in real time.


A single source of truth

DaRT connects operational teams, maintainers, engineers, project stakeholders and decision makers, ensuring everyone works from the same accurate and up-to-date information. This eliminates duplicated reporting, missed handovers, and data gaps, all of which are common issues when multiple units and service providers are involved.

 

Improved readiness through live insight

With instant access to status updates, repair progress, timelines and dependencies, DaRT enables operational teams to:

  • Identify recurring damage patterns
  • Improve asset reliability and resilience
  • Prioritise workloads and resources
  • Support ageing fleets and platforms
  • Reduce time out of service


This improved visibility means faster informed decisions and better use of budget, time and capability.

 

Designed for Defence, built for collaboration

DaRT synchronises with live operations and Defence working practices, from frontline reporting to engineering approvals, allowing teams to collaborate much more easily across sites, units, and services.


It also fully aligns with wider digital transformation principles across Defence, and our ongoing development programme which runs in close collaboration with our customers ensures long-term compatibility and scalability as platforms evolve.


A better way forward

DaRT is already delivering measurable benefits across some fleets, supporting improved decision-making and enabling teams to manage damage and repairs with greater confidence and transparency.


As Defence continues its shift towards digital-first fleet management, DaRT provides the foundation: reliable data, shared understanding, and complete visibility required for increasing operational readiness.
