RDECOM to Join ODASD's Maintenance Policy and Programs and U.S. Army Research Laboratory at Advanced Materials for Defense Summit – Free to Military and Government
DSI’s Advnced Materials for Defense Summit will convene on July 18 & 19, 2017. This year's summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoD employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
Alexandria, VA, June 07, 2017 --(PR.com)-- On July 18 & 19, Defense Strategies Institute will bring together personnel from DoD, Military Services, Federal Agencies, Academia, and Industry at the Advanced Materials for Defense Summit. This summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. Discussions will revolve around this year’s theme of “Leveraging Advanced Materials and Processes to Strengthen America's Defense."
Speaker Sessions will Include:
* Lieutenant General John B. Cooper, USAF, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Engineering and Force Protection, Headquarters U.S. Air Force to provide keynote remarks on the developing engineering and manufacturing capabilities to support Global Logistics Operations.
* BG PottsBG Anthony Potts, USA, Deputy Commanding General, RDECOM will provide perspective on enabling command through the development & delivery of advanced materials and 3D printing processes.
* Dr. John G. (Jerry) McGinn, Acting DASD, Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy, OUSD AT&L to discuss the efforts closing gaps in manufacturing capabilities for affordable sustainment of Defense Systems.
* Gregory Kilchenstein, Director, Enterprise Maintenance Technology, ODASD Maintenance Policy and Programs will speak on Maintenance Policy and Program's efforts to utilize advanced materials and manufacturing processes to overcome key logistics supply chain challenges.
