With the American Aerospace & Defense Summit 2015 less than 6 weeks away, we took a moment to gather some of the key thought leaders presenting at the event, and asked them to share their insights and opinions on the current state and future outlook of the aerospace and defense industry in the U.S.
We posed the questions:
- How would you describe the current state of the aerospace and defense industry in America?
- What do you perceive as being some of the biggest challenges for defense or aerospace companies over the few years?
- How can these challenges be overcome?
- What are some effective techniques in driving innovation amongst suppliers?
- What is the next big trend in terms of supply chain management for aerospace & defense companies?
- How has aerospace & defense manufacturing changed over the last decade?
- What do you think is the next ‘big thing’ in terms of aerospace & defense manufacturing?
