To remain competitive in a digital age of rapid change in technology, information, and threat complexity, the US must evolve its engineering practices in order to design, deliver, and acquire innovative capabilities at the speed of relevance. 

This year’s Digital Engineering for Defense Summit will explore how to integrate digital engineering practices to speed up the delivery of new defense capabilities, transform the acquisition environment, support improved life cycle management and sustainment, and advance digital transformation across the US DoD.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from innovators, engineers, decision makers, and key military officials on ways to drive digital transformation across the services and promote digital fluency across the DoD’s workforce. 

This year’s event will explore opportunities to integrate simulations, 3D models and digital twins into the engineering process to increase efficiencies in system designs; reduce cost, risk, and time; and enable better life cycle management and sustainment. 

Additionally, this year’s panel will explore how the services are integrating digital engineering tools to modernize the design, delivery, acquisition, and sustainment of complex warfighting platforms. 

Visitors to this year’s Digital Engineering for Defense Summit can network with senior leaders and contribute to the discussion focused on advancing digital transformation and innovation across the DoD.
