Description

DEF Detroit is excited to host a Link & Learn on 9 AUGUST at 5:30 PM In the 21st Century, warfare is no longer being primarily fought and won by guns, tanks, and fighter jets--it’s now being waged through economic and political means. Meeting this growing demand for flexibility and accelerated delivery times will require the agile development, rapid adoption, and integration of advanced capabilities. During this DEF Detroit Agora Link and Learn, brought to you by Second Front Systems, we'll be discussing the need for transforming acquisitions to be a warfighting function and leveraging commercial technology in areas such as cyber, software, and manufacturing to enable strategic competition with peer-competitors. Refreshments sponsored by Second Front Systems Who should attend & why?
