NOVEMBER 2025AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialThe defense and support services sector is seeing strong growth as demands for readiness, mobility and operational longevity rise across global forces. Companies that provide health support programs, aircraft component overhaul, inflatable watercraft and leadership development are benefiting from a push to modernize equipment and elevate personnel performance.This momentum reflects a wider shift toward integrated capabilities that keep people prepared, assets reliable and units effective in fast-changing conditions. Organizations are seeking solutions that improve preparedness without increasing operational burden and ensure consistent performance across varied mission environments.To achieve this, the industry is turning to advanced technologies that enhance efficiency, precision and resilience at every level of operation. Digital diagnostic systems are improving maintenance planning by predicting component wear before failure occurs. Advanced composite materials are increasing durability for airframe parts and field equipment in harsh environments. Modular production methods are helping inflatable boat manufacturers deliver custom configurations without long delays. Simulation-based leadership training is building confident decision-making under stress through realistic scenario practice.This edition of Aerospace and Defense Review brings recent developments from companies driving these advances, along with perspectives from leaders who are shaping the next phase of operational readiness.It features thought leadership articles from industry experts including Patrick Ryan, SVP and CTO at ABS, and Perry Venturo, SVP of operations for Atlanta and the Southeast at Unifi, who examine how strategic technology adoption supports sustainable readiness and stronger mission outcomes. Their perspectives offer guidance on aligning maintenance practices and personnel development with evolving operational demands to help organizations reinforce capability in a shifting defense landscape.We hope this edition gives you useful perspective on where the industry is headed and the solutions shaping readiness today.Let us know your thoughts!Rising Readiness across the Defense Support SectorJonathan AllredManaging Editorjonathan@aerospacedefensereview.comCopyright © 2025 ValleyMedia Inc., All rights reserved.
