The Challenges of Warfighter Readiness in a Nation at War and in a Distressed Economy

 All segments of the sustainment enterprise – government and  industry owned alike – are being called upon to deliver savings that will provide for new and repaired equipment.  The environment of this battle is constantly morphing and changing, is not durable in terms of longevity, and is totally unpredictable.  How will military and industry “step up” to ensure readiness while working within significant cost constraints?
 
Aviation Week takes military maintenance and sustainment to the next level with this year’s focus on warfighter readiness.  Join us as we try to blend the requirements of a distressed economy with a nation at war.

This conference will deliver: 

  • Demand for reset/modifications/support
  • How to best address cost and conflicting requirements in terms of paying for people, for new and needed technologies, and for what is needed to maintain the fight.
  • New jobs that are eating into the long-term budget while retrenching an industry in antiquated practices
  • How smaller suppliers are developing opportunities outside the standard flow of business as OEMs battle for the large, integrated and holistic approach
  • A clear definition of «readiness»,  straight from the warfighter
  • An understanding about govt customer priorities with regard to buying what is needed
  • Articulation of what the top issues are in providing a cost effective and highly efficient sustainment structure to the warfighter
