The panel covered how the Air Force’s Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program can be responsive to future warfighting game changers such as directed energy, hypersonics, and autonomy, as well as “third offset” technologies. The discussion centered on technology, emerging trends, public policy, workforce development, and legislation required for Air Force ManTech to improve warfighting capability and to reduce acquisition and sustainment costs.
