After a decade of steady growth, DoD is facing the prospect of flattening budgets and will have to do more with less. Improving affordability and productivity in weapon systems development and procurement is one of the chief aims of the department.
Join senior defense officials and discover where priorities and opportunities exist beyond the FY 2014 budget and hear first-hand how programs are implementing affordable and effective designs!
This all-important event will provide you with a unique opportunity to gain greater insight into which programs and defense priorities will be receiving significant funding and what policy changes may lie ahead. Hear directly from senior service leaders and reorient your company’s strategy based on customers’ wants and shifting requirements.
“As a strategist, I find this conference heads and shoulders above others for providing insight into future defense trends. These insights are provided by the most senior defense leaders, in requirements, acquisition, and financial domains. Don't miss it!”
Robert Freedman, Director Strategic Initiatives, Ball Aerospace
“Enables me to understand how to respond to RFPs more effectively.”
Eric Holzman, Northrop Grumman
“Excellent summary of thinking and confusion by the movers and shakers.”

8:15 am |
A New Generation of Capabilities Required § Randy Starr, VP Aerospace & Defense Team, Booz & Company Over the past decade, the US defense market has evolved beyond legacy defense capabilities as evolving warfighter requirements have changed. What the Pentagon procures and how it does so, is different. Consequently, traditional defense companies need to create the ability to compete against new competitors –-foreign and commercial- -that rely on a different set of capabilities and account for a growing percentage of every defense acquisition dollar spent. Migrating to a broader set of capabilities and rethinking existing operating models will enable legacy players to compete more effectively in a flat or declining market, and more fully serve existing customers. |

9:00 am |
A Review of the Materiel Readiness Changes in Policy and Structure § Moderator: Michael Bruno, Managing Editor, Defense Space & Security, Aviation Week § Sue Dryden, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Materiel Readiness) The majority of a program’s cost is in the life-cycle cost, not the original acquisition. Also, the supply chain’s continuity can be affected by flow down requirements. There is a revised structure within the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Material Readiness that comes along with enhanced expectations of product/program support. Industry needs to be aware of these changes and expectations. |
