Survivability, mobility, and lethality must evolve in tandem, backed by testing cycles that are faster and supply chains that are resilient. Industry and the Army alike are racing to ensure armored platforms remain relevant against peer adversaries. In this panel event, Defense News explored the challenges facing armored systems and the innovations that will define their future effectiveness.

Technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twins and modular architecture all offer manufacturing advantages to the U.S. Army to design, prototype and build the materiel needed to meet readiness needs. But implementing those technologies requires an overhaul of the manufacturing process, and industry must adapt to meet needs in a timely manner. What needs to be done to ensure successful partnerships between the Army and the industrial base? How is the thinking around manufacturing changing, and how is that thinking being put into action?
