Three Changes That Would Unleash Digital Engineering Across Defense Acquisition
The shift from platform acquisition to mission-thread thinking is where digital engineering unlocks exponential value as a strategic enabler. When modeling a mission thread from sensor to shooter, data flows through multiple systems across multiple services in a manner that exposes potential blind spots and interface gaps at critical handoff points. A legacy platform acquisition…
