Agenda

Welcome to the State of Defense Business

The Navy is pushing to meet its goal of more than 350 manned ships and nearly 200 large unmanned vessels in the next 30 years. This session will examine the challenges of meeting that goal, and the future of the U.S. shipbuilding industry.

The Department of the Air Force has encountered some significant obstacles over the years as it’s developed fighter jets, tankers, and more. But new efforts like the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program are changing the way the department approaches acquisition. This session will offer a look at how the Air Force and Space Force are overcoming previous obstacles, and a peek into what lies ahead.

The war in Ukraine has underscored the need for drones in modern conflict, but also shown how quickly the technology must adapt to stay ahead of the adversary. This session will focus on the state of drone acquisition.

As the military embarks on critical modernization efforts, a streamlined and agile acquisition process is essential. This discussion will offer insights into how the DOD is tackling the challenges of acquiring cutting-edge software while navigating the complexities of procurement.

The right software can dictate a battle’s outcome. How is the DOD overcoming its cumbersome acquisition process to develop and buy the best and most current software solutions?
