How Modern Defense Platforms Harness the Latest Technology
Three experts talk digital engineering and advanced manufacturing at the Air, Space & Cyber Conference
Two areas of technology are of critical strategic importance to the nation: digital engineering and advanced manufacturing. Digital engineering enables platforms to be designed and tested without ever hitting a production line, where advanced manufacturing takes those concepts and brings them into the physical world.
Together, they accelerate the development process, shorten the learning curve, reduce parts count, cut lifecycle costs and improve operational performance.
Join Dr. Joel Mozer, Chief Scientist of the U.S. Space Force, as he moderates a discussion between Eric Hein, Vice President for Defense Advanced Development and Space Programs at Spirit AeroSystems, Wallis Laughrey, Vice President of Strategy and Chief Transformation Officer with Raytheon Intelligence & Space, and Renee Pasman, Director of Integrated Systems with Lockheed Martin’s Skunkworks.
By watching the session, you can expect to learn:
- How the most cutting-edge advancements within digital engineering and advanced manufacturing affect platforms today and in the future
- How we maintain our advantage in an environment where expansion and transfer of technologies happens rapidly and globally
- What skills and cultural shifts are most needed within the workforce to continue developing and to sustain these technologies
