Spend any length of time in any particular industry and you’ll hear the same statements being made that purport to be ‘facts.’ Dig just below the surface however, and you often find out that when it comes to the security of Defense Industrial Base (DIB) these statements are more myth and legend than fact. As the National Center for Cybersecurity in...

In manufacturing, capacity is easy to picture. We think about square footage, machines, workers, shifts and production lines. I understand why. Those are real levers, and manufacturers need them.
But the more I look at advanced manufacturing, especially defense manufacturing, the more I come back to a simple point: A factory can improve and still...
There is no doubt that the future is bright for composites. They have been central to advanced manufacturing for decades, with their ability to solve critical engineering challenges where metals or plastics cannot, providing a solid foothold across a variety of end markets. It is widely agreed that the industry’s potential is vast and wide-ranging...
