JUNE 2021AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." ­ Benjamin FranklinIndeed, these wise words were never truer, especially in a highly competitive space like defense. Even the slightest advantage, technological or otherwise, can mean the difference between mission success and failure in the DoD space. Hence, technological stagnancy has never been an option for defense organizations. However, dividing focus between R&D innovation and the actual field activity can be quite challenging. This is where contract manufacturing service providers come in, backing the production requirements of the DoD space. With the manufacturing aspect of R&D taken care of, the major stakeholders in DoD can focus on bolstering their decision-making.In fact, many of the contract manufacturers for DoD are already investing in AI to streamline the advanced manufacturing needs of their clients. Notably, AI is giving the manufacturers an unprecedented ability to enhance throughput, optimize their supply chain, and accelerate research and development. With AI, even tasks like defect detection, predictive maintenance, product validation, etc., is becoming a cakewalk.That being said and done, incorporating the best technologies and shoring up the manufacturing capabilities will require collaboration with some of the best military contract manufacturing service providers in the marketplace. Standing at the cusp of defense technology, there are a wide variety of military contract manufacturing service providers entering the industry with a set of advanced and integrated offerings. To help companies steer through the best-of-breed providers, Aerospace and Defense Review has compiled a list of the top military contract manufacturing service companies. These organizations are transforming the defense landscape at the cloverleaf of various disruptive technologies.
