MAY 2024AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialIn the constantly changing aerospace and defense industry landscape, keeping pace with technological advancements is key for organizations to remain relevant and competitive. Leveraging novel and innovative defense manufacturing solutions helps companies unlock a universe of profitable business opportunities and deliver added value to clients. The aerospace and defense industry, valued at $884 billion in 2023, is set to grow to $1234.42 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 5.8 percent. At the core of this growth is a gamut of disruptive tech trends, fundamentally changing defense manufacturing for the better. Multimaterial 3D printing is gaining immense popularity in aircraft, land systems, boats and other defense system manufacturing. Through distributed, on-demand fabrication, multimaterial 3D printing helps overcome supply chain bottlenecks, reducing costs and delivery times. Digital twin and digital thread technologies are bringing in novel defense system design solutions. They offer immersive 3D visualizations for realistic design models of defense systems. These modeling approaches help identify problems through simulations and correct them at the root level to ensure accuracy in manufactured defense systems in real time. This edition on Defense Manufacturing 2024 brings forth the recent developments in the defense manufacturing arena and insights into how companies are leveraging these trends to transform legacy practices and stay ahead of the curve. It features various companies, such as Merrill Technologies Group and VX Aerospace, which provide tech-driven design, engineering, machining, fabrication and integration solutions for the defense, aerospace and industrial markets. The magazine further highlights thought leadership articles from industry experts, including Tim Komkowski, head of industrial engineering, digitalisation & transformation, Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems and Dominic Perez, chief technical officer, Curtiss-Wright Defense SolutionsWe hope this edition helps you build the partnership your organization needs to excel in defense manufacturing, which is driven by efficient technology.
