Digital transformation in A&D is moving from aspiration to execution and becoming a prerequisite for competitive participation in new program competitions. Boeing's T-7A Red Hawk was designed entirely digitally — reducing design changes by 75%, assembly hours by 80%, and design-to-manufacture time by 50%. The Pentagon's digital modernization agenda is embedding digital engineering requirements in major program solicitations. Digital twins are enabling virtual testing and reducing physical test requirements. JADC2 requires digital integration across the entire joint force.
This report provides significant competitor information, analysis, and insight critical to the development and implementation of effective marketing and R&D programs.
