With each branch of the U.S. military focused on modernization, the industrial base will play a critical role in ensuring that the challenges of tomorrow can be met.
Technology is at the forefront of these challenges, as the U.S. military faces tasks ranging from developing artificial intelligence tools that can be used effectively to procuring enough semiconductors and chips to ensure production needs can be met. But technology isn’t the only challenge; the industrial base must also be able to meet needs for manufacturing capacity, digital engineering to shorten production timelines and doing all of these things in an affordable manner.
In this webcast, Defense News will examined the state of the industrial base, what is needed to meet future military manufacturing needs and how to ensure that production can keep pace with the rapidly changing challenges of modern warfare.
