Digital Engineering for Defense Summit 2024

The 2024 Digital Engineering for Defense Summit focuses on accelerating the integration of digital engineering practices within the Department of Defense (DoD).

Following the release of DoD Instruction 5000.97, which mandated the use of digital engineering in the design, development, delivery, acquisition, and sustainment of complex defense systems, the event will center around the adoption of digital technologies.

This includes the likes of modeling and simulation, computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing, AI, and big data analytics to enhance the design, development, and management of defense systems.

This summit serves as a crucial platform for leaders from the DoD, military services, industry, and academia to discuss and drive digital transformation across defense practices.

When is The Event?

The Digital Engineering for Defense Summit arrives on June 26-27, 2024.

This Year’s Themes

The 2024 Summit themes center around optimizing the efficiencies in defense system lifecycle management, reducing costs and risks, and speeding up the acquisition of new capabilities through digital tools.

Key themes include the implementation of transformative digital tools across various branches of the military and ensuring robust policies for the validation and verification of digital systems.

The event emphasizes practical, actionable steps that organizations can take to embed digital engineering into operations for better, faster decision-making and superior outcomes in defense capabilities.

What’s On?

The Summit will cover a wide array of topics aimed at advancing digital engineering capabilities across the DoD:

• Driving Digital Innovation at Air Force Materiel Command
• Harnessing Digital Transformation to Advance Army Innovation and Readiness
• Driving a Digital Transformation Across the Navy’s Engineering Practices to Strengthen Maritime Dominance
• Advancing Digital Engineering Practices and Capabilities Across the DoD
• Implementing Policies and Guidance to Promote the Validation and Verification of Digital Systems
• How to Champion Digital Engineering in Your Organization

Attendees will have the opportunity to gain invaluable insights from senior-level speakers, engage in networking, and contribute to interactive discussions on the future of digital engineering in defense.
