| Abstract Scope |
Advanced Manufacturing is reshaping the production of critical components, yet national security applications require exceptional levels of reliability and assurance. This panel brings together experts from diverse backgrounds to share their perspectives on the unique challenges facing advanced manufacturing in defense contexts. Discussion topics will include supply chain transparency, digital data integrity, qualification and certification challenges, and the interplay between cyber and physical systems. Panelists will explore issues such as variability in manufacturing processes, detection of latent defects, and the alignment of emerging technologies with stringent defense requirements. Attendees will gain insight into the broad technical, operational, and policy considerations that influence the adoption of advanced manufacturing for high-consequence national security systems. This session aims to foster a rich dialogue on the complexities and evolving landscape of trustworthy manufacturing for defense applications. |
