Leveraging Digital Tools to Design, Deliver, and Sustain Warfighting Platforms

National Harbor, MD, May 25, 2023 --(PR.com)-- The 2023 Digital Engineering for Defense Summit 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.

This year’s event will have a panel discussion detailing how the different services are exploring the use of digital engineering to design, develop, deliver, and sustain technologically advanced warfighting systems. Digital engineering is a practice that each of the services are leveraging to make the process of designing, building, acquiring, and sustaining complex systems more efficient and affordable. Leaders from across the services will discuss how they are planning to integrate digital engineering initiatives and tools to support engineering activities and decision making across complex air, ground, sea, and space system life cycles. In a digital age of rapid technological change and a dynamic threat environment, the United States is compelled to change how it engineers, acquires, and delivers systems to embrace a digital, data-centric approach. Integrating the digital trinity of digital engineering and management, agile software development, and open systems architectures will be key to unlocking the future of innovation at speed and scale.

Panel Moderator:

David Long - Chief Engineer for Digital Engineering, Systems Engineering Research Center, Stevens Institute of Technology

Panelists:

- RDML Jason Lloyd, USN - Chief Engineer and Deputy Commander for Ship Design, Integration and Naval Engineering, Naval Sea Systems Command
- Matt Sipe - APEO for Engineering & Architecture/ Chief Engineer for US Army Aviation, PEO Aviation
- Tiffany Nesbit - Vice President Engineering, Elbit Systems of America
- Mike Nash - Solutions Director, Digital Engineering, GDIT
